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?

I hope God has a cost code to charge to

Many examples for this company.

Owners claimed they couldn't afford a Christmas do this year because the company wasn't doing well (bullshit they were both buying second/third homes). This caused massive grumbling because they literally gave us the actual minimum everything, holiday, sick pay, etc etc. they must of picked up on this because they eventually booked us in to go to the dog racing....in February. We had to gamble out own money and got the cheapest buffet of sausage rolls and white sandwiches. Some of the lads got too into it and gambled over a month of pay they couldn't afford.

Same company. Rewrote everyone's contract to state that in the case of anyone having an accident that led to us missing a day of work, should we get compensation for that accident then we were required to reinburse the company for the missed day of work out of the compensation. I have no idea if this was legal but apparently it was run passed the HR lady that none of us met or had contact info for.

😂

No one manages our post room (college) and so it has become like the Wild West. People ripping open packages and just taking what they like. There is talk of CCTV going in to prevent people pilfering.

It's not a good look is it?

IT director at a national charity who apparently stole tens of thousands of pounds in equipment that he'd bought specifically to rob. Annoyingly he was not only not prosecuted, he wasn't even sacked! He was allowed to resign.

Also worked at a supermarket where, for example, one elderly staff member was sacked for eating a piece of food from the stock, whilst a senior manager was caught stealing from the tills and was not sacked, just allowed to resign!

Always seems to be the senior ones doing and getting away with it!

I work with a CF. We had a work party once and she was picking me up so I invited her in for a couple of drinks, she declined but put them in her bag and said she would have them later. I sort of laughed because I didn’t know what to say. Another time she happened to be round at the time we eat dinner. I got a takeaway, asked her what she’d like and she ordered the biggest of everything, that was cheeky enough but then she asked if she could take my leftovers “for tomorrow”. Funnily enough, we don’t socialise any more.

We had the company IT guy buy extra computers plus cables etc then sell the surplus stuff off. Eventually he was got caught and fired over the €500 odd quid owed to the company.

One of my HT used to pinch my dear little bone China mug - which had actually been a present for a friend so was a bit special - because she thought it was pretty! She then used to hide it in her loo. I was friends with the cleaner so she used to liberate my mug and return it to me. This HT was notorious for tight fisted ness and her casual attitude to other peoples property. We had an OFSTED, I couldn’t find my fruity teabags, she had put them in the OFSTED inspectors room for their use. I claimed them back. Someone else lent her a fitness dvd, which she claimed to have lost, but never offered to replace, she was a nightmare.

Worked with a woman who would always say ‘Oh I’m taking some for ‘ds’’ she was the most selfish person ever. Once one of the girls had enough, this girl’ partner was ached and sent in a cake for her birthday as a surprise. She called out ‘Actually x could you just take one piece until everyone has had what they want as it’s for my colleagues not your family. You can certainly take another piece if there is some left’ we all made sure there was none left lol.

A colleague of mine was given a secondment to a promotion to cover maternity leave. Got glowing feedback from our manager.

lady on maternity chose not to return, colleague applied for the role, that she had been doing for a year now, but was refused due to “lack of experience”.

She left for the equivalent role at a competitor and the manager asked her on leaving, if he could name her on his cv and linkend in profile as a person he successfully mentored!!!

Using toilet roll while going to the loo during the day is an acceptable business expense, but why should the company pay for the costs of a completely unrelated activity? OK so it may "only" be £50-odd every time she does her printing (but maybe more, we only know "reams" each time) but if everybody did the same, every week, the company could be down thousands. And to be blunt, it IS theft.

The ubiquitous milk thieves are a problem at my office too. We have tea, coffee, sugar and milk supplied but the milk is those little long life cartons like you get in hotel rooms. I could mark my fresh milk with my name and team on all 4 sides and my initials on the lid but it would still go missing regularly, presumably because whoever they are prefer fresh milk. I am the lowest grade person in that part of the building.

My father used to be a buyer, and at Christmas there would be great bounty of booze, cigarettes/cigars (this was back in the 70's and 80's), hampers etc, all addressed to the individual who was the contact for that account. These would be delivered by the post room to the desks of the recipient. Then one year, virtually nothing came up from the post room. Dad went down to see what was going on, only to be told his HoD had said the post room were to keep it all there and he would collect it for his staff - he was seen later that day going out to his car hauling a large cricket bag (so about 2 feet by 2 feet by 5 feet) filled with all the gifts from suppliers. He had been doing this every day for the past couple of weeks. To give you an idea of the amounts, dad would only bring home half his haul and give the rest to his assistant, and in a typical year would bring home around a dozen bottles of scotch some limited edition with decanters/glasses, another dozen or so of assorted other booze, maybe a case or so of good wines, a few thousand cigarettes and a few packs of cigars and some more lower value items - there were about 8 staff working for that HoD, so 15 to 16 times that list above went into the HoD's car that year.

I don’t get why that’s nice? 🤣

But they weren’t your points either.

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

Did you take the eggs back?

I know someone who runs a toddler group. She's paid, but most of the people that she hasn't bullied away are volunteers.
She buys toys new which the organisation pays and then sells them. She's sold an inside wooden climbing frame and around 6-8 little coupe cars since 2022 for example. The only two left for the toddlers to use are the ones that have been there since at least 2001 (when my dc went to it). She bought all the others in 2022/3.
She has been seen putting them into her car and then they never return. If she's challenged then she claims they're broken. It's always the new toys that go into her car "broken", toys that are older and broken just go into the bins at the community centre.
Anyone who challenges her is either bullied out or she does a big show of "oh my poor mental health, I can't cope".

She's also very friendly with the safeguarding officer, who ignores any concerns on that side too.

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.

😲 did nobody say anything?! That's outrageous!

Surely somebody said something?

Omg the same thing happened to me- wine in the NY. But it wasn’t the same.

Unlike you I didn’t quietly take myself off. I loudly proclaimed how disappointed I was and how unprofessional the person buying my present was. I proper got on my high horse about it!

My workplace had a monthly breakfast for staff. Had a colleague, luckily not on my team but another near by team, who would arrive with a carrier bag and start loading up. Pretty sure he was the reason it stopped being a self service breakfast.

he also would never buy his own toilet paper and would just steal a few rolls a week. Also, took from the drink fridge to stock up his home.

The CFs need to work Xmas. Do they expect you to do it.

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

Don't put anything on the shared drive or she'll never learn. Those types of HoDs always ground my gears!!

Theft isn't very holy!!!
