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?

It had been practice unofficially that the person booking the travel got the points.

Said manager already had a squillion perks and a three figure salary.

You stay pedantic now.

I have to admit, I am a meat eater, but at work, they invariably order the meat pizzas as pepperoni, which I hate, so I go for the veggie one. I often have a veggie pizza at home as I generally think veg a better match with pizza than meat. Obviously I wouldn't take more than my share at work!

It’s not pedantry, it’s accuracy. I’m not a psychic either, so why you expect me to know what was unofficial practice, I can’t imagine.

You're still here! You legend, loved your original thread👏🏻 😂

Also, you mean six figure salary.

NOW I’m being pedantic…

Yes but did manage to fly over and help with the move whilst both were too ill to work.

They were also able to attend viewings for houses. I just don’t know how they managed it all.

Absolutely fair that you should have got the points.

No you're not psychic

Just nitpicking.

Agreed. I am not a fan of meat pizza but eat meat. @Zanatdy Maybe a better options is to order half or three quarters the pizzas as veggie and the rest meat. Or all veggie as you have said!

I cannot imagine ...all stories about the better paid people grabbing chocolates or sandwiches. These are so cheap to buy, if not the cheapest food items

I don’t much like pepperoni either but we do flag that the veggies won’t have any food if everyone eats the veggie. We do get more veggie now than meat but I think if we do pizza again we just do veggie. Last time we got halal (as most of our veggies are not veggie but only eat halal meat) but they said they didn’t trust it so some ended up not eating! So veggie pizza all round it is next time. I don’t want to ban non veggies eating the veggie pizza!

I hate the assumption that as a meat eater I will eat whatever meat things there is. I always order veggie pizzas when buying for myself. I hate pepperoni. Can't stand it.

Did you head tilt and tinkly laugh?

My story would have been even more boring had I thrown in all the relevant shite details.

But there's always one snartarse in a thread of mostly pleasant posts.

I actually had the same glasses and cutlery as our office - pure coincidence, from ikea!

when they cleared out the office they gave me the office ones as they knew they’d match my stuff 🤣

I used to run the tea fund. Someone smugly admitted to using the brew kit without paying in. Not realising that the guy he told liked me more than he liked the smugger. I handed the brew fund over to the guy he told, on the spot. Smugger was forced to pay as the new tea fund runner knew his dirty secret.

Same job, I coincidentally ordered a large stock of loo roll just before covid. We all got sent home over the pandemic. A few people came in on a rota to do a solo day. When we all came back, someone had thieved 300+ loo rolls.

When I worked in retail my first boss was fired for stealing out the till. Same lady used to sell her old season stuff from our brand online and pinch the distinctive mail bags we had to send items out.

The worst though, was my ex colleague who was also the Assistant Manager. She would call in sick for days at the slightest, undetectable to anyone else hint of a sniffle but would be very ungracious and disbelieving if anyone called in sick on her duty day. She'd be vile on the phone to them and roll her eyes afterwards.

We had a first come first served holiday booking system and the manager and I had no holidays because of her. She'd book off as many weekend days as possible and so we'd give up trying to book a decent fortnight off as she wouldn't ever relinquish them. She was within her rights but she overlooked quite how much resentment she caused.

I never worked boxing day due to transport issues. I worked Christmas eve, all of new years basically every other day going to show willing in return. This cow tried to bully me into swapping with her so she had it off as we walked home on Dec23rd. I got glares and evils when I refused. I was ruining what may be grandads last Christmas. She pouted when I pointed out that I had a granny in the same boat and an older father... and still no way of getting in on boxing day. What got me was that she was so expectant. Genuinely amazed that I wouldn't do as she asked. Her whole family took the piss tbf - her mum booked her a surprise holiday and said nothing to us until she'd sent her on it!

The ballsiest move she ever pulled though was the Disney on ice debacle. We're in the SE of England. Months of her getting excited to see DoI. On a Saturday, obviously. The week before, she reveals it's not in London. They've booked to go to Birmingham- for a day out. The day before she reveals it's the evening show and she'll be back too late and be far too tired to work the next day - as she walks out the door. Sneaky bitch. Unsurprisingly when she took ill with a bug at work, neither of us answered her summons for relief so she had to just stay there & shit herself until someone from another branch answered the call. I was sadly in a location with no signal...

It was literally the most relevant detail!

And I really don’t think I’m the one being unpleasant here.

Work in the NHS. Our manager watches our annual leave like a hawk. Docking us 10/15 mins if we are late or family emergency.
every year for the last 6 or 7 she has taken about 55 days annual leave when we are entitled to 33 which she writes in the diary in pencil and then rubs out.
She’s been reported to the fraud team but it appears she has got away with it as retiring in October

@Sethera I don’t much like pepperoni either but we do flag that the veggies won’t have any food if everyone eats the veggie.

As a meat eater I would not have any pizza either if the choice was only pepperoni.

This was such a good read!

I worked for a charity with a royal patron Every Christmas our patron sent an enormous box of exquisite chocolates and all the staff got about 5 chocolates each. A new head manager was appointed and the next year I saw the box in her office but none of us were ever given one again. I was presented to the said royal on several occasions after this and I always had an itching desire to tell her my boss scoffed the lot each year .

I had just assumed that if @PreciousMahoney wasn't allowed to take the points, then that was company policy. Either nobody gets the points, the points go to the company to put against later trips, or the points go to whoever made that journey. NOT that all the points went to one greedy fucker who hadn't made the majority of the trips and hadn't done the bookings either.

Love this thread! For some reason the one that stands out as most annoying to me was being asked to come in earlier despite a 2 hour each way train commute, "because X lives two train stations from you and he's here at 6.30am every day!".

X was on a base salary of £350k to my £30k, had a company chauffered car to get him in at that hour, and he got a bonus and dividends also in six figures every year - my bonus was £1k. Appreciated but really not in the same league. Explained that when they paid me 10 to 20 times my current salary over the year including bonuses I'd consider getting in at the same time as X. Manager who asked seemed genuinely surprised at my reasoning - and I left not long after 😂

It was fifteen years ago and the CF expectation still winds me up!

I used to write reports with a colleague - we both had our own parts to add to them and then her job was to send them out once done and move them out of the "current work" folder, so we knew they were done. We all had access to the same file system so the workflow was transparent to everyone, including our boss. At the end of each week she would always seem to be on top of her workload while I was drowning in what was a very busy small business. I discovered one day she'd made a secret folder, unnamed and buried deep in somewhere you wouldn't expect to find it. She was moving work into it so that it looked like it had been done and sent out, but really she was behind and just didn't want my boss to be able to see the extent of her backlog. Pissed me right off and I confronted her about it. She got very defensive and turned it around on me, accusing me of checking up on her, it being none of my business and why was I acting like I was in charge of her etc. She was nasty about it.

She knew that I knew, and that was enough. She stopped doing it and eventually was fired around this time due to a build up of other things, e.g. taking job interviews during company hours while pretending she was working from home.

We had a manager that was well known for micromanaging and generally being rude and unreasonable with her team. One Christmas she took an extended lunch, came back drunk & ended up rolling around the floor. She got reported and disciplined, but was more concerned about who snitched on her.

OP, please tell me you work at a company beginning with H?

If not that's an amazing coincidence
