Just filled in a survey from my company on “how do I want our canteen to operate?” (we are moving to a new building in few months). One of the questions was about time when I’d like to have lunch, giving me an opportunity to choose between 4 options of 30 minutes long.
I guess you need to be Dutch to assume that 30 minutes is enough for lunch :) I want 1-1,5h, good food and preferably a walk after it, but there is no way to fill it in… I guess I should spend lunch time in another country :)))
Just an example of how often we try to put others in the frame of our own experiences… Guilty of that as well :)
One of my professional quests is about recognising and appreciating differences, getting out of the box of your own stereotypes and habits, finding multiple perspectives… I guess it’s coming from my belief in multipolar world.
Back to work.
