No one likes a coworker who eats loudly. It can disrupt your focus and become as irritable as the high-pitched internal scream you make every time they take another bite of what seems to be the crunchiest salad known to mankind.
However, at the same time, the only type of employee that people dislike more than the noisy eater is the disrespectful manager. Sure, there might be some coworkers out there who do not care about using their full lunch break. Still, that hour should be honored, especially if a contractual agreement guarantees that they receive that daily lunch break.
This author had been working long enough in the professional world to know that what he was asking for was standard procedure. He deserved that hour, and if his manager wasn't going to give in, then the author was going to make sure to eat the crunchiest meal during those meetings.
