What does your work lunch say about you?

Have you ever wondered what your lunch says about you? Or even consider whether your colleagues are quietly judging what’s in your tupperware? Plot twist, unless you’re bringing tuna, mackerel or hard-boiled eggs into the office that encroach horribly into the ambience of the office, they probably aren’t thinking anything at all.

But what if your office lunch could say something about who you are? Let’s, in a completely tongue-in-cheek fashion, take a closer look and make some important ‘scientific’ deductions into office lunch choices

A trusty sandwich

Most people bring a sandwich into lunch, and they are a fairly standard and inoffensive option. Some of your colleagues may be fancy and buy their sandwiches from the local deli. Others may be simply slapping a piece of cheese in between two slices of white bread. You can observe these lunches and deduce some important personality characteristics from either choice. One thing’s for certain though, if you’re bringing your sandwiches in from home, you’ll be saving a small fortune compared to buying ready-made sandwiches fresh each day!

Leftovers

People that bring their leftovers into work are invariably organised, budget-conscious and also environmentally-friendly. Leftovers are usually scratch-cook meals made in bulk, sometimes as part of batch cooking. These people are high performers and you should probably befriend them and learn their skills.

No lunch

Do you have colleagues who simply rely on the appearance of office lunch catering from https://www.crumbsdelivered.co.uk/shop/office-lunch-delivery/ at the appropriate time? They are usually risk-takers and daredevils of the highest order. Either that, or they know which meetings are likely to be catered and get themselves a strategic invite.

Soup and Salad brigade

Healthy, showy and probably borderline obnoxious, these are the colleagues who are probably taking photos of their lunch for social media. Avoid them at all cost unless you want to be regaled with stories about silken tofu and challenged on the nutritional profile of your crisps.

What sort of lunch do you take into work and what would your colleagues say about you?
