Dear Rookie,
If the canteen is packed and you’re alone, find that other lone wolf and sit together. Worst case? A quiet meal. Best case? You just made your first real office friend.
And who knows where it could lead? Maybe they’ll have the inside scoop on how things really work. Maybe they’ll become your go-to lunch buddy. Maybe, months from now, you’ll find yourself on a project together and be grateful you didn’t spend that lunch scrolling your phone.
Because, who knows, as it was said in Casablanca, this could be “the beginning of a beautiful friendship”
