Work cf stories. Anyone else work cheeky fuckers?

[PizzaFecker]

Our business has passed an important audit so we ordered dominos for lunch.
Enough dominos pizza to give everyone 1/2 a pizza each and sides and drinks.

Total cost was £450.

One of the senior managers just had to have a word with one of the other senior leadership team that putting 3 entire pizzas, sides and a drink in his car because 'he wanted to take it home for his family and would freeze the leftovers' isn't appropriate when the admin staff haven't even had chance to get any pizza yet.

Our work generally have No issues with people taking leftovers but not when other people haven't even had lunch yet!!

Anyone else work with cheeky bastards?

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

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 😂

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

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.

Fair comment.

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.

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.

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.

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

MerelyPlaying , much wants more!!!

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

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

Awful! How was she getting in to your locker?!

I did take the extra eggs back! But she was very unhappy about it and my male colleague tried to step in and save the day by giving her his egg so she still ended up with two, which was most unsatisfactory (and surely even more controversial between three children). I wish I'd taken all of them back like @cgauUwahahaha suggested.

I think there is some kind of weird bias/cognitive malfunction going on there.

“..your colleague is wrong.”
Well yes obviously.

Long ago I worked for a tv station in California.
One morning, the switchboard lady called in sick so I had to cover for her - I pulled out all of the connection-things (whatever they were called) without listening first and a furious guy from the back called up front and said I’d cut him off from Australia. He was livid and I felt terrible.
Later, I went to my boss and apologized and although the boss said nothing to me, the Australia-phone call guy was fired for making regular, unnecessary and very long overseas calls before anyone else was in the office.
I got him fired, I guess, but unintentionally.
Or maybe he shouldn’t have been calling all over the world on the station’s dime.

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.

Arg, that is similar to my time as a hospital porter. A colleague and I spend a whole shift helping someone move all their stuff from one office to another... one side of the site the other.
She sent us a card and a box of chocolates. We saw the card, but the chocolates got to our manager's office and never left it.

About 10 years ago I was working in the Buying Office of a large retailer. My team managed communication between the Buying Office and the warehouse.
Some of the senior management team used to ask the admin assistant to get me to order samples of the best stock from the warehouse for their personal use. I knew because they weren't the standard sizes we kept as office samples (10s and 16s).
I'd get a call saying "could you order X style for Suzy in a 12?
Because I wasn't prepared to be complicit in theft, I flagged it to my manager (same level as the CFs) and she put a stop to it.
The senior managers were allowed 50% staff discount. We got 25% off.

I know, I’m getting second hand hunger pangs just thinking about it!

Which is why I put Patak's chilli pickle in my cheese salad sandwich that I take to work. Only one cf dared to steal my sandwiches, was found out quickly & didn't dare to do it again. It takes the skin off your tongue if you're not used to Pataks chilli pickle.

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.

I would imagine that the WFH culture will lead to an increase in this type of fiddle, maybe it's why so many are fighting against any attempt to return to normality.
