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.
You know that saying “two wrongs don’t make a right?” if you retaliate you’re exposing yourself to liability. And if you legitimately have no options to eat then go home and if your boss fires you lawyer up because your employer didn’t take reasonable steps to make sure you were able to bring lunch to work and failed to provide an alternative.
