> When I visited Korea, I've noticed companies tend to have exact 12-1PM lunchtimes, all at the same time. People raise eyebrows if you leave at 11:50 and return 12:50.
It just seems so inefficient to do it that way? In theory, I guess the company sorta benefits from having everyone on/off at once, but doing it like that basically guarantees traffic jams.
All the buildings in Samsung's digital city in Suwon have their lunches organized by floor. It is verboten to go to the cafeteria before the lights on your floor dim, indicating it is now your floors turn. The cafeterias, while huge, aren't large enough to accomodate everyone going at the same time.
