Work cf stories. Anyone else work cheeky fuckers?

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

Pleeeeeeeease tell me you confronted her or told her you’d taken it back?

MerelyPlaying , much wants more!!!

In my experience all wealthy people (80k plus) tend to be grabby CFs

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.

Many years ago I moved to a different country where the Local Authorities run free language classes for immigrants. It was pretty basic classroom - a portacabin but not near any shops or cafes to go to in the 20 minute break so the LA gave us a drip-drip coffee machine and we all chipped in a small amount for coffee and took our own personal mugs.

I took along a cute little mug that my niece had given me. It was tiny but the others in the group loved very, very strong coffee so it was enough. It also had the benefit that it had my name painted on it, a very uncommon name in this country (I was, and remain the only person with this name in the LA).

One day I arrived a class and my cup was gone. No coffee for me that day. Everyone denied any knowledge of it - so I assumed someone had broken it and didn't want to admit it.

6 YEARS later I was employed on a temporary basis at the Local Authority's swish new adult education college in a totally different location. The student kitchen/dining room in the new college was well equipped IKEA crockery and cutlery, but there was a special cupboard for staff personal mugs. I opened it to find myself staring at my missing (rare name) mug. So I took it home and used IKEA mugs. The following day a teacher was ranting about her special little coffee mug that was "missing" - yes a teacher had stolen it from me 6 years earlier.

Ex manager mover onto new job, left loads of crap in our office, didn't come and get it after multiple requests We had a sort out prior to chucking it out and found a load of highly confidential documents all just shoved into carrier bags. We had to report them to Information Governance but there were no consequences for the individual as they had gone. It would have been a sacking matter if they still been employed.

Fair comment.

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.

Knowing some of the Klampits I've worked with they'd snaffle it anyway

I don’t have a CF story but a tip for all the people whose milk gets stolen, put it in one of the little pots/pouches specifically designed to store breastmilk - the more obvious, the better. I took (cows) milk in from home in one when I first started in my office because it was the only container I had after being off to have DC and I was unsure of the milk etiquette. Needless to say nobody has ever stolen milk from it 😂

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

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

Oh yes, the chocolate tubs…where I work, we get given a fair few boxes and tubs of stuff at Christmas to share amongst all of us. This has always worked well, they are left out on the unit and we all have one or two each, never a problem.

Since Covid, the boxes and tubs are locked away in the managers office “isolating” I presume… We have never seen any of them again.

The manager is on way more money than we are, yet for the last 3 Christmases we have not seen a single chocolate 😢

Yes, veggie all round definitely sounds like a sensible plan!

They are just as all.as bad as each other. They had a left wing comedian offering an opportunity that a working class child would never experience to the highest bidder.

I worked in a contract centre years ago. During staff reviews one year, it was discovered that one member of staff was running a private business from her desk, using her desk phone, work pc and business email address! 😱

It is always the people that complain loudly about others you need to watch for.

My first job was in retail. The manager sacked someone for eating a few sweets from a bag a customer opened and which would have been thrown away. A few years later, he was sacked for stealing massive amounts of stock. He is a financial advisor now. Despicable and dishonest.

years ago I used to run dance classes after school from a village primary school hall. When I took over the dance school from a retiring lady I also inherited what was known as the “ballet cupboard” a large metal cupboard that stood in an alcove in the corner of the hall, that the school said that I was welcome to make use of but that I wasn’t to padlock, for security reasons. 99% of the time it was filled with boring stuff such as spare ballet shoes and leotards, syllabus books and cds, but one saturday I planned a Christmas party for my students and there happened to be a school disco run by the PTA on the friday evening before hand. All my supplies of sweets, crisps, drinks, glitter tattoos, balloons, and party supplies that I had taken and left in the ballet cupboard on the thursday evening had been taken and used, as discovered when I arrived on the saturday morning. I knew it was the school disco as some of the children had seen school staff having a nosey in the cupboard (that they knew was dance school stuff) and helping themselves. I had 50 children shortly arriving and 2 tiny bags of Haribo between them- everything else was gone- one of the dance mums did an emergency trip into the nearest town for more stuff so the party cost me double in the long run and the school just shrugged it off like it was no big deal when I confronted them about the missing items. This is the same people who went absolutely nuts because a teacher saw me drinking out of a mug one day and thought I was using the staff room coffee and mugs- I then showed them the plastic box with tea, coffee, mugs and a kettle that I kept in my cupboard and the milk I brought from home. They also guilted me into giving up a whole afternoon of my time for free every week for the whole summer term to choreograph dances for their yr 6 leavers play, because they “allowed” me to use their school hall for my dance classes- the same hall that I was invoiced for termly by the local county council - yes I was paying hourly for the privilege of using it, and the school directly benefited from the revenue. Best thing I ever did was rent my own dance studio premises, and get out of school and community halls.

I had a sort out of my vast make-up and toiletries collection, lots of gift with purchase items and things from cosmetic advent calendars etc. that I wouldn’t use, wrong colour lipsticks and blushers etc. About 100 or so, all unused and some expensive brands. Put them into a big basket and took them into work for the staff to take what they fancied. That afternoon I bumped into one of the staff going home for the day and she was carrying said full basket. Apparently she thought her layabout druggy brother could sell them all and make himself some money! She was quite shocked when I snatched it out of her hands and told her no fucking way.

@JC03745

I thought that one of the ten commandments dealt with that!

A ward I worked on regularly had food stolen from the fridge. It was an open secret that it was one of the consultants who had been caught on several occasions, but nothing was ever said to her.

A number of colleagues would find their night shift food missing, there were no canteen facilities overnight. I still don’t understand why the senior staff didn’t pull her up on it.
If we were having a leaving lunch for anyone, we used to hide in the training room so she wouldn’t find the food. 😡

That's horrendous.

Going back years there were lots of serious cheeky fuckers.

In the 70s it was common to be grabbed groped or comments made from male members of staff. It was like being in a Benny Hill sketch and there was no point complaining as the managers were as bad.

I ended up countering by a slap in the chops which worked but got me a reputation of being a bad sport. Retired recently and thank god that's history in MOST organisations!

I worked in a central government department in the 1980s. All of the office phones blocked international calls - BUT - nobody had thought to block the emergency phones in the lifts .... until they got bills for thousands and thousands of pounds.

Oh my god yes. This. Every time. People loading up with veggie option and leaving the meat. I have mentioned with pizza to get 60% veggie but falls on deaf ears
