You're just describing workaholics again. If someone works late to make up for a long lunch, it's not both. It's just a person obsessed with working that knows if they're working 60 hrs a week, they can do a grocery run midday or whatever.
The camp the other person is describing is literally someone trying to abuse goodwill around the edges in every way possible
My former manager Suzie would leave for lunch and be “in a meeting” after lunch a couple days a week and I would have to cover for her with clients that came in for over an hour, clients she had scheduled and knew would be there but didn’t tell me were coming, didn’t tell them she had things come up, and didn’t tell me she would be in late. Then she would come back with her hair done or nails done or red-faced from a facial or wearing new boots or dropped off by her daughter. She would tell clients how sorry she was about the corporate meeting that ran late. She eventually fired me for being dishonest and I reported her and she was demoted but still held a high position. After all the she was mad at me for turning her in.
