Work cf stories. Anyone else work cheeky fuckers?

I worked for a charity.

We had front row Little Mix tickets donated and one of the managers was told to donate to one of our young clients. Except she took her daughter and went herself.

Nice way to ruin a thread.

Anyway, back to it, not getting into this with you.

The scenario like yours really baffles me. Do people really lose their minds when something is 'free'? Just buy your family a pizza! I'm sure he could afford it.

Similar, I worked in a school as a TA and whenever we had a field trip, the kitchen would prepare a packed lunch for children who had school lunches. Very basic, a sandwich, fruit and drink.

EXCEPT if a trip was on a Monday. Kitchen wouldn't do it as they would usually prep the night before.

So because we'd planned the trip for a Monday, the school gave us some money instead to go to Lidl and buy the ingredients, and the TAs had to prepare the sandwiches. They were the sorriest things, made by non-professionals with the cheapest ingredients.

When I was taking the orders from the children, the teacher put her hand up saying she was absolutely having a lunch on the school. Pathetic. I didn't even have them. She was a teacher there for years so would have been on a more senior salary, had grown children and lived at home with her working husband. Surely she could have afforded a £3 meal deal.

I made a perfectly relevant point. Why aren’t YOU letting it go? This is nothing to do with you!

Name changed for this as outing but here goes, Global Insurance company,
Manager 1 - Used the corporate membership at Gleneagles 5* resort to treat his family to a break away. Said manager was the sole point of contact for the account.
Same manager went to a company conference in London, didn’t turn up for day 2, concern growing his manager checked his hotel room. Bed hadn’t been slept in. Transpires he spent the night in the cells. Zero comeback for this, brushed under the carpet.
same manager used to book bogus broker meetings in another city. Had a jolly on company expenses. Playing away from his wife and always left the office after an extremely short phone call for 10 mins before these trips to get his supply of Coke.
same manager never, ever put money into collections for leavers, marriages, births etc. and threw a hissy fit when he got fuck all for his 40th birthday.
same manager made sure his business cards were printed with the wrong phone numbers changing a digit as he was a work shy prick.

manager 2 - used to go on nights out in the city on the weekend and when he missed his last train home rocked up at the office and told security he had urgent work to complete. This bellend was sleeping in the first aid room using the office as a hotel.
same manager, arrived at work daily in scruffy clothes and kept his shirts, ties and work suits, shoes etc in the cupboard for us to hang our coats. It stank, never once seen him taken anything away to be laundered.

Regional manager was also very work shy and misogynistic, told a colleague when she was pregnant “oh my god you’re fucking huge”. Vile little man.
Was so glad to leave that toxic shit show.

I think it’s po-faced to repeatedly pick over someone’s contribution. And your posts were just a few posts up, not several pages up.

Neither of us had posted for several pages when you posted this po-faced comment. Any “derail” was long over until you resurrected the argument.

Christ there are some cheeky buggers out there! 😱

NiceCut you’ve derailed the thread by repeatedly questioning @PreciousMahoney about her contribution. Just let it go.

One tightarse senior manager who was probably on £70k (and this was 10 years ago) but would happily and openly steal other people's food from the fridge.

That's appalling. Imagine scoffing the food someone's brought in for a nightshift?!

My DD was given a box of chocolates and a card by a grateful patient. Unfortunately it was her day off and her colleagues opened the chocolates. Unfortunately they were all eaten by the time she went into work the next day.

It was literally the most relevant detail!

And I really don’t think I’m the one being unpleasant here.

We had one that was running their Ebay shop from the office, using work postage and computer, got caught during a random IT monitoring and sacked. Then there was anther one who had a totally separate job which they used to do two afternoons a week. They would block out their dairy with "home visits"and clear off to their other job. They too were caught and sacked

In one place I worked, international calls were barred on the phones. However, they were enabled on one phone, as some members of staff has to call abroad. Yes, you’ve guessed it, it was discovered that someone was routinely calling their family a road for lengthy chats.

In a different office, we were given a large box of chocolates to share. The individual chocolates were large and looked very nice. There were ten of us in the office. I wasn’t the only one to think they looked good. I saw a colleague run over as soon as they arrived and then struggle to carry ten chocolates back to her desk. This was probably a third to half of the box. I know it was ten chocolates because she announced it, ate the lot and then complained she felt sick.

I find that very interesting as my church asks every single person where they got their print offs from as printing at work is theft and therefore a sin, your colleague is wrong.

The comedian will have had nothing to do with getting auction items. That will be the schools fundraiser.

Did you take the eggs back?

The school I worked in for 20 odd years had a chronic milk filching problem. We didn't have a milk fund - everyone had to provide their own. I could take a pint in every day and by morning break it would be gone with me only having had one drink.

I tried labelling it with my name - that was even worse, people seemed to think, oh kittylion won't mind. I tried labelling it as dog's milk or badger milk - no difference. I even came in one break to find one woman sniffing with her hooter right up to the rim of my bottle (with not much milk left I might add) asking everyone if it was off, cheeky mare. I said yes it is - off into my coffee because IT'S MINE!! Even though i didn't much fancy it after she'd virtually wiped her nose all over it, but still, it was the principle.

In the end I didn't put my milk in the fridge, I bought a little flask and kept it in my locker. I think people might even have pinched it from in there, but they didn't know about it.

In a previous school I went into the staffroom at break to see someone chatting away to a colleague, very coolly go up to my locker, take out my jar of Nescafe, spoon some into her mug and go back to the kettle. I thought it had been disappearing quickly. She must have tooted into all the lockers until she found a brand of coffee up to her high standards. After that I bought a jar of cheap coffee and when it had gone I decanted my Nescafe into it.

Don't even ask me how many mugs I took in over the years only to be pinched.

These were teaching staff! Cheeky fuckers - so glad no children witnessed it.
