That's often true in my area, and there are weeks when I put in >40 hours. But since we're able to provide our own estimates and upper management is generally happy with our delivery (our dept tends to over-deliver on our yearly goals), we can generally keep things manageable.
But yeah, I do take lunch 99% of the time when I'm in the office, but more like 40% of the time when I WFH. Nobody seems to care when people leave early as long as the work gets done.
I think my company is a bit unique here, and it's why I stay. I could probably get a bit better pay elsewhere, but the work life balance makes up for it.
