Man I am pretty chill (nowadays in my old age), but if I saw my team skipping lunch I'd tell them to stop working and start eating.

There are parts of our jobs that are unavoidable on a few nights or weekends, but I make sure we spread that around fairly, and I take more of them than my team.

Not surprisingly, my team is consistently the happiest so of course other managers complain to me that I'm making them look bad. When our CEO says every manger can set their own work polices. Just change yours!
