Don't schedule a &$&% meeting during lunchtime without serving up lunch to us!

Don't schedule a meeting at lunch time. Full stop.

My lunch time is me time. I'd prefer no lunch meetings ever. That's my walking time.

I hear you, but given that my "lunchtime" could be anywhere between 11:00 and 15:00 (and that's not even allowing for timezones), that's pretty impractical.

In my last two jobs in two different countries the unwritten rule is to not schedule a meeting between 12-13. Not everyone has lunch at the same time, and everyone is free to have lunch whenever they want, but this guarantees that you will have some time to have lunch even if you are booked by meetings around noon. But it doesn't really solve the timezone issue.

People have died for lesser offences than scheduling a meeting over lunch time and not serving lunch.
