Would your productivity double? (This is a serious question btw).
Absolutely. (This is a serious answer).
Yesterday was a typical day. In the middle of 3 hot tasks that needed complete focus. A user wanted to grab a "quick bite" and discuss her project. "No problem," I thought, "I have to eat anyway."
Despite cell phone calls, it still took 15 minutes to meet out front. 10 minute drive to restaurant. 10 minutes in line. Eat. Wait for check. Massive traffic jam because of road work. (If we had known, we would have come back a different way.) 2 hours for lunch of which 10 minutes was spent talking about the project. Then, after returning emails, voicemails, and taking Pepto Bismol, I just didn't feel like getting back to what I was doing all morning. I lost half a day because management doesn't have enough fucking vision to provide some kind of "eating resources". (Sorry, such a disruptive problem with such an easy solution that I hardly ever see.) BTW, this facility employs 1600 people with the same problem every single day.
