Except for the occasional Lemmy break.

In office workers do that too. And also, taking a break at a convenient time is much less detrimental to productivity than an interruption at a random time.

Yep. In-person employees are not necessarily working just because they are in-person. Also, I call the instances where people would stop by and interrupt me "drive-bys".

It is not just those interruptions either unless you work in a one person room at the office. I always got more annoyed by the unnecessary interruptions because of some coworker's phone or someone coming into the 3-4 people room to ask them something when I was trying to concentrate.
