Work cf stories. Anyone else work cheeky fuckers?

I don’t get the brass neck of some people. I’m the polar opposite. A customer once delivered me a fuck off hamper because I suggested him a solution which saved him thousands. It was addressed to me and me only. I opened it and told everyone to take what they wanted. I actually didn’t see a single item from that hamper 😂 I think they assumed I took first as it was addressed to me

Reminds me of the thread a little back where greedy fucker went out for a meal with his team and splashed out on wine and steak etc, and expected the bill to be split including some admin staff who only had salads.

OP called him out on it and he got the right hump, was a great read and well done to the OP.

We used to book holiday using a big desk diary. First person would write their name on the top line for the day they wanted, anyone wanting the same day would then write their name on the next free line. When approved, the manager would initial next to each name to confirm. If there were too many names, then the bottom people wouldn't get the day they wanted.

I only had a pencil when I wrote in my name in for a week of holiday. Only one person was allowed off (can't remember why). Cheeky fucker came along behind me and rubbed out my name and wrote hers instead. Confronted her when I found out what she'd done but she denied all knowledge, despite going bright red and looking guilty as hell. Manager said there was nothing she could do (even though she knew CF colleague had form for CFery like this).

I was already fed up but that was the final straw. Found a new job and ended up leaving on the last day I would have worked before that week 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.

Bastard

The worst cf was my ex husband, he started a business up with his friends around their hobby. I spend a lot of time working for it, packaging parcels etc but he would always take them to the post office. I questioned him one day about the costs coming out of our personal account and he told me not to worry as it was just caught up in business expenses and will come back at the end of the year. The end of the year came all post office expenses had been paid into his personal account and all profit was taken in stock for his hobby. This loss wasn’t pennies either.

i hope to get my revenge when i remind him his starting funds came out of the joint account so I'm entitled to half of profit etc through our divorce. I’m also happy to send documents to HMRC as well.

My company had arranged free cinema tickets for children in deprived areas. They were sitting in a bundle waiting to be distributed. Big boss (who was making lots of money running his own business on the side) came over and asked what they were. He then made off with some of the tickets.

Worked in a school, head teacher, deputy and chair of governors also diverted funds into their own pockets. All resigned and no one was prosecuted

I've mentioned this on here before, but the same happened with the PTA treasurer at a school where my ex worked. What she took amounted to thousands over the year - they never got it back from her - and all that was planned was to keep her well away from the money in future

So imagine my surprise at a later school boot sale, to see her trotting round collecting the pitch fees

Can you upload them as pdfs with your name watermarked into the corner?

You wonder in those situations whether someone knows something and would whistleblow if anything was done about it.

I just remembered one woman I worked with. She’d only been working at the company a year. A manager had brought in a mini food buffet for some reason including those packs of 5 donuts. It was next to me on a separate table. I saw her take one donut and start eating it at the buffet, then take a second back to her desk. 5 minutes later she went to the printer picking up a third donut on the way. Then on the way back pick up the pack which had 2 left and go to her desk scoffing those. She was the laziest lying worker I’ve ever come across. She was a CFer in lots of ways but that one I remember!

Why is it mostly managers or Snr managers who go in for all this skullduggery? Surely they a)have enough money in any case and b) it hardly holds up in terms of the morals of the company!! Dreadful outright stealing in some instances.

Someone in my team once asked our manager if we could move our team meeting back an hour, because she was bidding on a Louis Vuitton bag and the auction ended during the original meeting slot. Our manager said no and the colleague scowled and sulked for the rest of the day.

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

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.

This was way back in 2015/16, but a colleague would often come in half an hour late, watch movies and read Reddit all day, take 3 hour lunch breaks and sometimes not return from their lunch break. A couple of people pulled them up on it, but they were so hostile that those couple of people gave up. They were eventually made redundant in 2017 due to budget issues. It's a shame as they were very good at their job, when they did it, which was rarely. That round of redundancies (yes, there were more later) was just before Christmas, so they were very angry. I did find it hard to feel a whole lot of sympathy for them given how much they slacked off and bitched out colleagues trying to keep them from getting into trouble.

Very common in schools, nicking other people's work. I soon learned to put my name in white in the footer and on more than one occasion I changed it to black ink so it was legible,

Back in the very olden days, mid '90s. we only had a couple of computers with printers in the staff room but every morning no-one could get on there because a couple of Aussies were having on-line chat with friends and family back home and when they were told to leave them free after 8am were most put out.
We found that the printer wasn't printing stuff, someone had managed to jam it and left it. My department managed to sort it out and found there were dozens and dozens of pages queued up of holiday offers, when we managed to clear the queue again, much annoyance.

When I worked in the local authority in the nineties, the office photocopiers were supporting a variety of local community groups with leaflets and posters. It all stopped as soon as you had those electronic ones that clocked up how much photocopying everyone was doing.

Don't see anything wrong with that

Oh my lord!

In their mid teens my lads worked in a pub, collecting plates, glasses, you know the stuff, there was a kp and chef as well. All tips into a pot.
Landlord took the tips as his daughters pocket money. She was 8ish, and definitely not on staff.

I had a similar experience with an art class I went to. I was clearing out some mugs, so donated them to the art group, and they were put away in our cupboard.

Within a few weeks, all of the nicest mugs had gone missing, and they turned up in the mums and tots group cupboard. We stole them back and marked all our mugs with the art class name.

I used to work for a national charity that had milk filchers just like this.

For my sins I did the milk ordering for the staffroom coffee/ tea . Milkman delivered the order on a Monday and it lasted the week. Suddenly realised we were running out by Wednesday lunchtime so I had to nip over to the shop to top up for Wednesday then go to Tesco on my way home to cover Thursday and Friday. Asked around and found that two members of staff used it for cereal in the morning, and the HT often fancied a glass of cold milk when he was working in his room after school. Had to explain in words of one syllable that they paid for milk to go in tea or coffee, not daily cereal or refreshing glasses of the cold stuff. I then gave up the honour and decided I would drink fruit tea, which didn’t need milk. One of the cereal eaters took over and told me I still had to pay even though I wasn’t using the milk.because otherwise the fund was short! I explained , without shouting, that I had been subsidising her cereal habit for weeks so she could whistle for it.

(I am pleased to say that the cereal habit was stopped shortly afterwards because they didn’t keep their packets in secure containers , and they found mice droppings in the boxes, shame!)

Young family member of mine took a job at a prestigious venue as a bartender. They did a lot of wedding parties and family member was often left alone serving the bar, collecting glasses etc. It was relentless. The manager told FM that they shared tips out but new staff members had to work one month before qualifying for a share. I told FM that it sounded dodgy at best, illegal at worst. I told FM to disregard this and pocket their own tips. (A lot of the wedding parties had plenty of generous tippers. One evening FM was quizzed about the lack of tips accrued from a big wedding party, and manager felt there should have been more so would deduct what he thought was an appropriate amount from FMs wage. That was the final straw and FM told the manager to shove his job up his arse and walked out leaving a bar full of thirsty wedding guests and nobody to serve them 🤣🤣
