you&#x27;re right about that.<p>In my experience eating together is best done at lunch.<p>I&#x27;ve really love it, especially as I end up being more of a manager&#x2F;leader : we hardly ever talk about work, its breaks up the day nicely and you get to chat about philosophy and general bullshit with people.<p>one of my former bosses made a habit of taking people out to lunch on Fridays and paid out of his own pocket. It was a small token of his personal appreciation for the team.
