My workplace is very supportive of breastfeeding Mothers and is rather accomodating to their needs. We make a room available for them to express if they are expressing - and they can use it as often as they need to for as long as they need to.
We also had one Mum who returned to work when her Bub was about 3 months old. She had her baby in Childcare at a centre which was 20min walk from work. This lady would go down and feed her baby a couple of times a day - she never expressed. Work was fine with it (she was discreet and did work a little extra to make up for the time she was gone). This went on for at least 12 months.
We also had a Mum whose husband would bring the baby in to work for a feed and she would just go for a coffee with her DH and feed baby at the same time. Lucky they lived close to work!
So I guess it is going to really depend on how flexible your work place is. But it can certaintly be done.
