"My mumma often fingers (steals) things at her workplace she sees it as a lil perk of the job for being on a crap wage lol she works in a care home, her fav things to finger are toilet roll packs, bin bags and cleaning supplies, some of which she passes to me and I dont complain lol so I wonder how many of you guys go on the finger at work? Would you admit to it? Raise your hands "Personally, I’d like to see more fingering happening in the workplace. Is your mum on Fab? | |||

Agreed morals are lovely, but won't pay the bills or keep you warm at night so if someone I love has to resort to a lil tea leafing here and there to make ends meet then | |||

"The thing is though, with multi million pound companies who treat their staff like shit.. do you think they just swallow the loss from acts like this? Nope - they pass it on in the charges to their customer base." This is true but I think as many people that steal, and there are loads, do it because they need what they steal as those that steal and think they’re sticking it to ‘the man’. I do think there’s overlap though. Like I do also think some steal because they need to but also feel like they’re sticking it the company when in actual fact they’re not. But regardless I don’t think the consequences of this theft or understanding this consequence will lead to less people stealing toilet paper and other essential items. | |||

Plus there’s the fact that this is being suggested of someone’s (your) mum and the implication is that they’re also of an age that makes content niche. Idk. | |||

In previous jobs where there have been damaged products that couldn't be sold to customers, staff had the option of buying them at well below cost price. Something with a retail value of £10 could be bought for £2 for example and yet some staff felt it was their right to take it without paying anything which over the period of a year cost the company £20k.

She is not stealing because she can't afford things but simply because she feels entitled to these products due to poor pay and conditions. How can we know that this person’s family, specifically her daughter, doesn’t need these items? I also feel as though these industries which are so reliant on front line workers are the real thrives for prioritising profits over paying employees better and giving them better working conditions and experiences.

" I’ve never stxlen either but I’m not judging these people or pretending they’re muggers. And on topic, I really don’t think the OP’s mum stealing toilet paper or bin bags or whatever is that bad. I certainly reserve greater disdain for the higher ups at the companies that willingly pay workers the minimum they can get away with for the sake of profit. So steaking is ok in your world? Where do you draw the line? 5 gbp? 10? A laptop? A chair? What happened to honesty and values. If people genuinely think it's about making ends meet or just because I want it and won't get caught they are deluded. It's just theft. The consequences of which impact all of the other employees and customers. If you want something... Simple... Buy it just like everyone else. If you steal...stop pretending it's some kind of justifiable act because someone else owns the company. It's stealing and it's shitty. I’m not going to get into a long drawn out debate on this simply because I don’t want to and don’t think the threads need it. All I’ll add is this: I hear your perspective.

These big business just pass the cost of these losses onto clients or use them as an excuse for not paying a decent wage in the first place. If all the staff do this can you imagine the cumulative cost to the company? " This was my point earlier. The people who decided to take the products in the company I worked for rather than buy them at vastly reduced prices ended up paying the price in the long run. In 2018 I was able to buy approx £2k worth of household products including bleach, toilet/kitchen rolls and numerous cleaning products for £100 because of the company policy on staff being allowed to purchase damaged or unsaleable goods. That was a quarter of my weekly wage back then. Enough to carry me through the last 5 years in fact and still have some left over. The idiots who thought that throwing the goods over the back fence to family members rather than do what I did ruined it for the 100+ employees who had the option to purchase removed and also lost their overtime as the company had to spend that money on new CCTV. | |||

Obviously if the person in question worked for a small business we could be having different conversations about of different things. What we do know is this relates to big companies paying shit wages and treating employees like shit. Not any of the hypothetical stuff you’re trying to coax me talking about or trying to apply my comments to. | |||

"My mumma often fingers (steals) things at her workplace she sees it as a lil perk of the job for being on a crap wage lol she works in a care home, her fav things to finger are toilet roll packs, bin bags and cleaning supplies, some of which she passes to me and I dont complain lol so I wonder how many of you guys go on the finger at work? Would you admit to it? Raise your hands
Does she realise it’s not her employers paying for the things she is stealing? It’s the residents & council. The basic cost to someone only with a state pension is £691.20 every 4 weeks leaving them a maximum of £28 per week to buy their own toiletries, clothes, hair cuts etc… with the council paying the difference.
Can I suggest your mum is possibly in the wrong job for her if she thinks it’s acceptable tk steal from vulnerable people?
J
It's not and my mum herself is a vulnerable person she shouldn't even be working but she's stuck. She has so many health conditions and ailments yet she continues working all the hrs god sends and still ends up broke at the end of the month.
Anyway not what I intended this thread to be about...have a nice evening
Would she not be entitled to universal credit or something might be worth asking local citizens advice what help your mum could get
She is actually going through the process now of applying for pips on universal credit, an ty for your suggestion "Ah that's good... fingers crossed she gets some help | |||

especially when you see what they throw away. But I never would. I think I would only steal in desperate times. | |||

"Personally I think it's disgusting in any place of work but especially in the industry your mother works in!! Ok ok goody two shoes, id like to point out she does not steal from the residents only the multi million pound company that treats her like crap. Also I don't condone stealing but its a few essential everyday household items not the crown jewels so I'm not gonna get my knickers in a twist over it lol" Doesn’t make it right !
