Do you eat at your desk if your food is aromatic? Nobody else in my department seems to eat anything other than sandwiches and salads so I'm the only bringing any food smells into the office.
Whats the usual vibe in open plan offices? In all previous jobs we would go out for lunch, but with this company a) there is nothing in the area so we all rely on the company canteen downstairs, b) your time is monitored if you 'tap' out of the building (even for a smoke) & c) it's a 23 story building so the time it takes to get in and out is infuriating (hence, desk eating being the most viable option).
