When my coworkers plan meetings at noon I tell them to have fun without me cause that's when I eat lunch. They don't do that anymore.

    We have a 'Lunch & Learn' at noon every other Friday... "No Actual Lunch Provided". There's no set agenda, just for people in IT throughout the company to get together and talk about anything tech related they want to discuss. It doesn't even have to be work related.

    It actually sounds like a fun meeting that I'd love to attend, but... Friday is my Pad Thai day, and I'm not missing that.

    Exactly this. If the lunch isn't gluten free AND good, i consider it a request for me to not attend.

    Although, if they get pizza, I'll scrape half a pizza's worth of toppings on to a plate and let them see me dropping the crust in the trash. They always ask about dietary restrictions... and they consider shitty pizza shop salad a GF meal?? LOL. I always plan for my own food for events like this.

    Occasionally the company sends out emails about these extra optional special seminar things, random topics, often not even about work, and they almost always seem to "conveniently" be scheduled at like 12 or 1230, when people are most likely to take lunch.

    Like, I see what you are doing and I don't like it.

    Go to the seminar and take a separate lunch break.
