Get It Off Your Chest - “Stop Eating at My Desk!” Workplace Lunch Habit Sparks Debate

On today’s Get It Off Your Chest, Emma shares the workplace habit that’s pushing her to breaking point. Every lunchtime, while she heads out for a break, her colleague invites a friend to sit at Emma’s desk to eat. The result? Crumbs on the keyboard, food wrappers left behind and a desk she has to clean before she can even get back to work. Emma doesn’t mind someone borrowing her chair, but she can’t understand why they can’t leave her workspace as they found it. The gang debate office etiquette, respecting other people’s desks and whether Emma should finally speak up or keep quietly cleaning up after them. It’s a relatable workplace dilemma that had listeners sharing their own stories of messy co-workers and office annoyances.
