That just seems counterproductive. I know my work product suffers if I go that long without eating. I'm sure I could find a workaround if I had to - likely involving a hotel that provided breakfast to elites and a nearby deli open at 8AM to buy a cold lunch sandwich as my expensed "breakfast". Just doesn't seem like the company has much to gain from this policy...


(If the intent is that you're never to eat lunch without a client, and thus always expensing those meals in under a specific client meal policy, that's obviously a different story...)
