Drives me crazy when I see partners eating a ham sandwich for lunch instead of going out to get something good to eat.

This thread is interesting, strange and hilarious all at one time. I will be honest, there are so many lunches out, client dinners, breakfast meetings, etc that sometimes a simple sandwich and chips sounds really good. Eating out every meal gets old after a while - the ham sandwich is breaking the monotony!

I think there certain assumptions that exist about lifestyle of PPEDs. They (you) eat gold off gold, defecate gold, and then eat more gold chased with fresh blood of staff, seniors, and managers. Sr managers do not donate blood cause they're already being trained for eating gold etc.

They're plenty of partners in our office that dress rather simply, drive cars suitable to mortals, and eat freaking sandwiches. OP gotta grow up.

Maybe their favorite food is a ham sandwich?? Why the hell of all things does this make you so uptight? There are at least 1,000 things I would complain about before this. Geez.

I know a partner who refuses to be in debt. Working through college she took on student loans but paid them off fast and worked to buy a house with as little a mortgage as possible. Buys cars outright, without loans. So she brings lunch from home, hardly ever eats out. But, she grew up poor and refuses to ever let herself feel like that. That said though, when we have a trip, she splurges on team dinners and never forces anyone to do what she does or makes judgement. You never know what someone’s mindset is and why. Just mind your own business.

You never know. Maybe the partner overspends what they are earning and are making certain cuts, or they have specific food preferences. Why are we even talking about this?

OP- I totally agree. Each partner makes at least 250k and up. It’s okay to splurge $10 a day to get a decent lunch.
