In all the jobs I’ve had my entire career, my teammates always invited me to have lunch with them when I was new. I guess I was lucky to have coworkers who made sure new hires aren’t left out. Obviously if you actually prefer to eat alone, people should respect that.
I have been at my job for 10 years and eat alone 90% of the time. I spend 40+hrs a week with these people, I just want silence and food for 30 minutes.

If I'm off the clock, that time belongs to me, and I'll spend it however I like.

And I'm going to spend it as a sea bug eating a burger.

Me on my lunch break at the job I've been at for 7 years, surrounded by people I know sitting at other tables.
