Certainly is. My first job was in a large company. Accounting took break
from 10:00 to 10:10. Sales and engineering from 10:10 to 10:20, etc. Same
with lunch. Shop stopped totally at the whistle. I cannot imagine having
to stay at the same work station the entire day, never seeing daylight,
putting knobs on toasters. Thankfully, some people like doing that sort of
structured job.
