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?

Again you're igoring the "least costly option" part of the post! Whats your reasoning that she should have picked the more expensive option?

Her mum and dad aren’t employed by the company, but the person they were transporting is. Same as if she got a taxi.

Not to mention that being on a train sick is horrific not just for the ill person but everyone else in the carriage. I’d say inflicting that on other people when there’s another option available is more CF behaviour.

Exactly. In any case, public transport isn't a cheap option, even assuming it was available 'in the middle of nowhere'. A train ticket for a 40 min journey to my nearest city costs me £13; it's about £2 in petrol and takes half the time. Obviously parking in the city negates any saving, but parking fees wouldn't apply where someone was just being picked up .

I have literally sat and read each post this morning, wish I could contribute but also glad I can't!

Department bitch's birthday, collection, I got sent to buy the £60 gift card for her. Put the receipt in the gift card wallet.

3 months later she claimed she'd just tried to use the card but it had no money on it. Hinted I'd kept the money and passed on a blank card.

The receipt (which I'd shown my manager)? Oh no, she hadn't kept it.

I was made to replace it with my own money because it wasn't bitch's fault the money hadn't registered on the card. My protestation that it wasn't mine either and she should have kept the receipt got nowhere. I'm sure she was lying about the whole thing. Fucking bitch in many ways but this was so shameless!

I was the lowest paid person in the dept - admin. She drove a Porsche.

I refused to get involved with buying any more gifts.

Not exactly CF, but talking of gannets, I once worked for a Director who on two occasions that we all witnessed ate leftover food out of the bin!

@AvrielFinch it doesn’t come from the free school lunches for children- on a school trip, FSM lunches should be individually prepared for individual children, and each child should get a named lunch (as would lunches ordered and paid for).

Providing staff lunches in lieu of actually paying them for hours worked would clearly come from a different budget .

@Redflagsabounded that is outrageous! I’d have refused to pay, especially as you’d shown the receipt.

I worked in a school where you had to get to the food before the PE department or there wouldn't be enough for everybody.

And in a workplace where a very nice lady (generally) would her put food on her plate and food in her bag at the same time on the first pass around.

Hybrid working for the team leaders of which I am one, can be 2 days from home then 3 office/field. Here I am paying for nursery, yet my colleague and boss have been working from home 5 days a week during the school holidays. They say it’s fine their kids require minimal supervision because they are primary school aged, yet on every call I can hear their kids and they are muting themselves to talk to them.

"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."

Can you only plan the lesson just due to keep things going until her "official" planning appears?

Where I used to work my line manager I use that term loosely as never had any appraisals feedback didn’t get my probation signed off as she was to busy or would do it after her next holiday she seemed to have a ridiculous amount of annual leave but had been there 20 years

she used to clock in then go and make her breakfast sit at her desk eating it doing nothing Did a bit then have to go and make a drink to take her tablets then go and sort her lunch eat it at her desk again doing nothing then take her actual lunch break and go out for a walk do a bit then go and make another drink then potter off for half an hour to go and wash her Tupperware tubs then clock off for the day

l left after a year and despite knowing I was leaving for a new job I only gave them a weeks notice as that’s what it said in my contract if I left while on probation HR was surprised my 3 months probation review had never been done

Excellent malicious compliance, @Spendysis!
