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?

One of the things I've learned from this thread is to put "this contains laxatives" on every piece of food I bring into an office I don't want stolen

Company I used to work for. The owner-directors arranged a lunchtime meeting for me and my report. Right at the beginning, one of the directors gets on the phone to a fancy sandwich place, puts in an order and asks the other director what he’d like. These were delivered halfway through the meeting. They never asked us if we would like a sandwich. It was a two hour meeting, 12-2pm, and our tummies were audibly rumbling as we sat and watched them eat. Not just rude, but uncomfortable. A couple of months later the company moved offices to bigger premises in the same building. We were asked to come in on a Saturday and move our own desks, chairs, pedestals and cabinets. When I asked if we were going to get overtime for giving up a Saturday (and saving them a fortune on getting a proper officer movers in), the answer was “Goodness no, you won’t get paid at all. But we’ll get a platter of sandwiches in for you all.” Terrible place to work. I left after eight months and earning them £1.5million in new contracts during that time.

When I started a new job, I noticed that the staff kitchen was very short of teaspoons. As I was doing a lot of decluttering at home, I took in a dozen that I would otherwise have donated to charity. Good quality ones, Arthur Price.

It took less than a fortnight for them all to vanish.

The place where I worked - a cathedral!

I don't understand...

It illustrates the perils of car-sharing, but not sure she was a CF in this situation - if she was too ill to drive, what else was she supposed to do?

Charging for her parents' petrol expenses was definitely cheeky fuckery

Why? If the business schedules training courses in the middle of nowhere, they should accept the risk that in some circumstances, additional travel costs might be incurred.

If the so-called CF hadn't involved her parents, she'd have had to get a taxi/uber home, then another one back to the venue once she'd recovered, and then drive home incurring the original fuel costs. That would have cost far more than her parents' mileage.

My dad always said that religious clergy of all denominations were the biggest culprits of bad behaviour. Looks like he was right. Next time donate spoons from the pound shop.

In the US president of an non profit agency applied for multiple grants for the agency. Most funds, half a million US$, that came in were not given to the agency. She deposited some of them in her personal acct. Others deposited in agency accounts but she "accidentally" wrote a check $80,000 US, for her new ultra luxury car on one of those agency accounts. She got jail time - 6 months. If one of the clients her agency served, ex-felons, had robbed a bank, they would had gotten a 30 year jail sentence.

What that's cheating with the sats paper. Did anyone say anything?

My husband shared a flat, when working abroad, with a colleague. Tight as a DA. When DH snapped and told him he had to buy toilet roll it all had the company name on it. Got rid of him very quickly after that

I'm sorry but you should not have put up with this. You should have said if you don't pay me by x date then unfortunately I can't include you. Then you wouldn't be out of pocket and it's their own fault for not being included

stop milk filchers

I used to work with a man who would fill in his holiday form (to have the days taken off his allowance) and would just forget to give it to HR.

I didn't like it yet I also really did because it meant more time without him being awful to me.

We had a temp who worked for us order ASOS stuff to work, not just when she was there but for months after she left our employment, ‘as it’s convenient for when I do childcare pick up’. We had no idea how she was accessing to the office until we found out she hadn’t handed her pass in (and I strongly suspect she was photocopying stuff for her church as well)

She was mortified when she was told be her ex-boss that her latest parcel had been refused and returned as would all future despatches, and asked to give her pass back. She accused her boss - married to an Iranian - of being racist.

One senior manager regularly takes the leftovers from the monthly training meeting home for their family. We are talking boxes of food.

Another senior manager has awarded themselves the amount of annual leave it takes us lesser mortals ten years to earn and has taken it in blocks that are a week longer than the maximum you're supposed to take.

Another one was never even interviewed for their senior job and has never worked anywhere else but holds themselves up as a world expert.

Another one spent about a week in total of staff time looking for accommodation when they first started in post and also had the whole department ferrying them about, running after them, taking them to the supermarket and generally propping up their ego. There is no one we can report them to. When I leave they'll be a major factor in the decision.

I'm also fairly sure fiddling of expenses has been rife but am not in a position to do anything about it.

This is all on public funds. If Labour are serious about investigating waste in the public sector they can start with this kind of thing.

On way to a funeral, friend / colleague took receipts for tolls etc for claiming back because she travelled for work and could get the tiny amout back. What was really bad is that I paid the tolls!

Just vile.

@Aconite20 - I wonder how your senior manager's family feel about being given the weary leftovers from an office lunch? I wouldn't be surprised if they don't even get eaten.

Please report it there must be some kind of ombudsman. Please, it's public money

Can you whistleblow on your way out?

My colleagues are great but my poor husband has to manage a bunch of needy, whiny, emotionally stunted snowflakes. And they are supposed to be professional adults - spend more time crying about another colleague giving constructive criticism and bleating about having to WFH than actually getting jobs out.

Mileage is for employees, not the relatives of employees and certainly not twice for the return journey - once for colleague to bring the pair of them up, then colleague's dad to bring her mum up and then two lots of expenses on the return for dad's car and mum to drive the colleague's car back home

All the while leaving the poster stranded and having to call her husband to collect her

She failed to manage the entire course too

You haven't answered the other points in @Sethera's post

She was too ill to complete the course, and picked the least costly option to get herself and then later her car home. What should she have done instead?

Nope, and she still works there.

Going home when sick? Fine

Travel home by taxi and public transport, do the reverse journey when better

Calling mummy and daddy to take her and her car home, then claiming for people not employed by the company?

Not fine
