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.

      The one true way is to find a new job if your coworkers/boss/the job itself is mistreating you.

      We did not mistreat you, so don’t take it out on us.

      Correct, that is another way of putting what I said.

      If the choice is:

      • Have a stable job, continue paying my bills on time, enjoy the coworkers I do enjoy, continue on with my life -or-
      • Have a few seconds of glib satisfaction after yelling at a coworker

      I mean, yeah, I’m gonna just keep my lunch at my desk.
