Each day, an on-staff chef brings a family-style meal the team eats together at four to five long tables from 11:30 to 12:30 after receiving a much-awaited “Lunch is ready” email.

Sounds horrible – enforced mealtimes and enforced meal partners – is this a workplace or a prison or similar institution?
