That's a rather blanket statement. Depends on the work! I have certainly had paid employment where I frequently just sat down at 8am, programmed and programmed, realised about 3pm that I hadn't eaten yet, and stopped for a break. It would never happen in the office, but it happened quite regularly early on in the pandemic-induced WFH (thanks to me happening to be on the right project to allow it).

Yup this happens to me as well, though some small breaks for fetching water/coffee might be included. Also in the office. I guess ensuring that employees know what to do and like what they do is a much better approach than staring over the back and making mean comments when slacking.
