[Global] What does your workplace snack say about you?

There is a weighty subject to consider as we move into the weekend. What do your favoured workplace snacks say about your personality and how do they affect the way your colleagues perceive you? Diamond Interiors has the snack break breakdown...

When working in an office environment or in close quarters, your choice of snack can be a controversial topic. The foodstuffs you select to eat publically can say a lot about you and your personality, or at least from the outside. (Employee wellbeing is important to the GPA so we would prefer that, while respecting your collegues, you don't let this deter you from happy snacking!)

With that in mind, here is a (tongue in cheek) breakdown of the most popular snacks and what your choice says about you. Whether it’s powering through that mid-afternoon slump, or fuelling you through the last-minute deadline rush, everyone has their go-to favourite. 

As office-design and workplace experts, Diamond Interiors says they are absolutely the authority on this while reassuring that they will not judge your choices. Let the analysis begin:

Crisps/chips

You little rebel, you. You have absolutely zero regard for the concentration of your colleagues or the cleanliness of your keyboard. As long as you get your crunchy fill you’re happy to disturb the peace of the office and worry about the grease-covered laptop later.

Chocolate

You live life on the edge. A sugar rush is the highlight of your day. You’re probably the type of person who sets off driving as you’re putting your seatbelt on for that little rush of adrenaline.

Sweets

Definitely a child at heart. Either that or you’re an absolute sugar addict always looking for your next fix throughout the day. Regardless, you’re always full of energy after the E-numbers kick in.

Fruit and veg

Chances are you smile a lot and have too much energy from an excessive consumption of antioxidants and vitamins. Your colleagues are split between wanting you to shut up about it and wishing they could be you.

Protein bar or shake

Health and wealth is your life motto. You’re constantly waiting for that time of day you can get away from work and go back to banging weights in your natural habitat. #gains

Biscuits/cookies

You must have a real resentment or lack of respect for yourself and the cleaners. Crumbs on your clothes, the floor, in between the keys of your keyboard… No rules, you’re a menace to the office and need to be stopped.

Nuts and seeds

You prioritise looking healthy over being healthy and look down on everyone as you break out the trail mix to snack on. Or you grew up in a flock of birds. Yoga or a book and a green tea is probably the highlight of your wild weekends.

Meaty snacks

You either don’t have a sense of smell or you hate your colleagues. Stinking out a shared space like that with a pack of BBQ chicken snacks is the epitome of evil. Chances are the vegans in the office all have a private Slack group about you and your stench.

Yoghurt

One of the most organised people in the office hands down. You had enough time this morning to pack a yoghurt AND a spoon. Commitment. The underappreciated workhorse of the office.

We’ve all undoubtedly been guilty of several of the more antisocial snack choices so there’s a lot to think about as many of us enjoy time off to eat festive food at home instead. Happy holidays to all!
