8 Problems With Being The New Person In The Office

7. Lunch Time

Whether you have a set lunch hour or the freedom to dine anytime you see fit in your working day to take a break - there are still going to be office rules. Rules you just don't know as the newbie. Do you take a packed lunch and risk being invited out to the local cafe by the other people in the office - resulting in a wasted packed lunch. OR, do you not take a packed lunch and have to find an appropriate time to excuse yourself before you faint from starvation. If in doubt, take a snack. There also comes the dilemma of the shared kitchen area. Your office might have a microwave, fridge or kettle for you to use but then there's the risk of leaving your precious, homemade delight free for anyone to grab. Of course, people presumably know the rules when it comes to stealing food; we're all adults after all. But there's always one.
