My boss has become increasingly unbearable, and essentially only speaks to me to berate me. I try to avoid him when possible (already avoid taking coffee and cigarette breaks with him), but I go and eat out with him and the team every day.
It is painful eating lunch with him, because he has no respect for me and I have no respect for him. For the time being, it’s not an option to quit my job, and just need to make the office experience more bearable, firstly by cutting off lunch.
What’s a reasonable excuse I can give to go eat lunch by myself every day?
