Seriously I see these posts all the time about people who have a co-worker who steals food so they make gross food to ‘get back at them’ cause HR doesn’t do anything.
Legit question but how do you not just freak out and yell at the person? If a co-worker stole my food the 1st time I’d yell at them and curse them out, the 2nd time I’d threaten to shove the food in their fat face next time I see it happen. If HR didn’t do anything I’d threaten to quit and sue if they claimed I don’t get EI because it’s a toxic work environment.
I just don’t get how people are so passive when co-workers literally steal from them? I’d be fucking livid.
Sounds like the thief won. Made you change your habits.
As opposed to continuing to bring the thief food?
What was I supposed to do? HR won’t help, and I sure as hell won’t put laxatives or ghost peppers in the food as a trap for the thief like some people on the internet proclaim to do since this is a potential felony charge. Besides, I get to eat a warm lunch every day without needing to worry about a thief. Good enough for me…
