Work cf stories. Anyone else work cheeky fuckers?

I have to admit, I am a meat eater, but at work, they invariably order the meat pizzas as pepperoni, which I hate, so I go for the veggie one. I often have a veggie pizza at home as I generally think veg a better match with pizza than meat. Obviously I wouldn't take more than my share at work!

It’s not pedantry, it’s accuracy. I’m not a psychic either, so why you expect me to know what was unofficial practice, I can’t imagine.

It had been practice unofficially that the person booking the travel got the points.

Said manager already had a squillion perks and a three figure salary.

You stay pedantic now.

Oh, how unlucky! They must have been gutted to be so ill when their son arrived.

@ShiningforLeeBertie that was my thread 😄 and nothing to report, he hasn’t been out much since (not with my team at all!)

Nothing like free food to bring the cheeky office feckers out in force. So many stories of those who contribute nothing, but are first in line for food or to complain. Plus the people who insist on eating all the veggie pizza despite being meat eaters! I’ve had to confiscate veggie pizza before now. Next time I’m just ordering all veggie

But they weren’t your points either.

We had one of those! She was ordering supplies for her church work from Office Depot on our work account!

Secondary school teaching department. We are supposedly responsible for different year groups. I plan e.g. Year 10 well in advance, put everything on the system for colleagues to use.

Colleague who is supposed to plan Year 11 and is also head of department, just doesn't do it. Right up to the last minute before I'm supposed to be teaching the topic she still hasn't done it. The night before, I end up doing it myself. She breezes into my classroom. "O... what's that? Don't forget to put everything on the shared drive!" I end up planning everything for both year groups. She's my line manager.

The work photocopier was going through alot more paper and ink than normal. I came in early to see a staff member with a pile of pages printed off. She taught Sunday School when not working with us. When I pointed out it was stealing, she said she didn't think it mattered because she was doing God's work!

I used to work with a boss who at 2pm every day, would kick back his chair, tip back his head, and have a 45 minute nap. Every day. Not his lunch break - he took those earlier in the day. Didn't even hide it - it was incredible.

My current colleagues are CFers in the sense that they all refuse to work Christmas because they've got kids - but I've had that in every job I've worked.

At a place I used to work we did secret santa. I wasn't overly bothered about taking part but did in the spirit of things.

My santa was one of the most senior managers, which i worked out after the occasion. Just before the works christmas party we all gathered to each receive our presents which were all laid on the table, except I didn't have one. They were going round the room asking each person what they got. I felt my stomach fall and tears stung my eyes. I just quietly walked out of the room and the building and went home and didn't bother with the Christmas plans that afternoon.

A bottle of prosecco turned up on my desk a few days later. Nice, but I'll never forget being excluded. The same person also absolutely promised my job would be safe and I would be coming back post furlough. I was made redundant. Fuck you, EM.

Last week at an end of term celebration at work we held a 'Bring a plate' shared lunch. About 25 people from our department were invited, but obviously not compulsory. About 20 people got involved and brought various dishes- some homemade , some shop bought and some just jumbo bags of crisps/ snacks. There was loads left , so we put leftovers in the fridge to finish the next day and kept open bags of snacks and perishables on desks in office for staff to nibble on in the afternoon. We were more than happy for those who hadn't contributed to have a plate of leftovers. One person who hadn't contributed anything, emptied the fridge of whole quiches, plates of sandwiches and filled someone else's tupperware boxes full of cakes and biscuits and staggered out to her car with so much food saying it would feed them and their kids for a couple of days. Now this is somebody who wasn't short of a shilling by any stretch of the imagination.

At my old job we were all working on Easter Sunday and I bought everyone a full size Easter egg each, given out in our midday briefing meeting.

Two of my team couldn't get to the meeting so I said I'd bring the eggs up to them, at the end of the meeting I caught one woman putting three eggs in her locker. I said "It's only one per person, those are for Alex and Ben" and she stuck her bottom lip out and said "That's not fair, I can't go home with just one egg I have three children".

I left that job two years ago now but it still pisses me off 😂

Years ago I booked the travel for our organisation. It was hundreds of thousands as the engineers travelled to Las Vegas, Korea, Bolonga etc.

The hotels they stayed in gave points out if you booked them in there and I was told I couldn't accept them. I was on about a fifth of the managers salary but found he'd been claiming my points, which amounted to cases of wine, weekend luxury hotel stays, free cinema tickets. It was over a thousand pounds worth, and the fucker already over claimed on his expenses.
