I worked with this guy who swiped lunches from fellow colleagues. Then other daily office supplies. We noticed, of course, but nobody had the heart to confront him and despite his sticky fingers, he’s good at his job.
Once, we walked into the office and found the fridge had vanished, chairs from the conference room, and some ceiling tiles from the bathroom were missing. The CCTV footage wasn’t very clear, but the guy in the footage resembled his build. HR sent out some emails, but no real action was taken.
So the floor staff adopted a new rule to never leave anything unattended. His office haul continues to grow weekly, and he’s not only still employed— he’s also in line for a promotion.
