Why do hourly employees care how long your lunch break is? At least in the US it's usually not counted as work time. Assuming people clock out for the lunch break, I don't see why …

At least in my experience, I don't see any pressure to not submit if you don't review (I'm in ML though, so could be different in other fields). I think why people review is: -You …
