Lunch, anyone?
I ate lunch alone today. It was already 12PM, and most people I normally eat lunch with had left.
There are many cliques in office, and I try to spread my time between them. Since there are only 2 Indians in office (and one is the CEO), I don’t have much of an Indian clique to belong to. There’s the WAPS (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) Manager’s clique, the “cool-people-in-the-trenches” clique, the “nerdy-engineer” clique, the “nose-in-the-air-executive” clique. Other than the executive clique, I go to lunch with most others.
But belonging to so many groups means I belong to none. They can all leave for lunch without me. No commitment. The price of "freedom"...
