See, I would build my company so that your at-work chunks are alone.

I don't buy into this "people are best in teams" cargo-cultism that's actually an excuse to buy shitty, cheap office space. People need a little bit of social interaction, but the actual work must be done alone, preferably in a private office (I fucking hate open-plan). So, if your work time wasn't satisfying your need for privacy and being alone, then I'd be failing.

If a specific person's needs for alone time were such that the person desired to eat alone, that'd be fine. I just wouldn't want a culture where everyone eats at a desk.
