We've all done it, a pen here and there, a packet of post its from work...
So just how acceptable do people think a little pilfering is?
Do you think you've earned the stationery you acquire from work? Have you already paid for the items you bring home from a hotel? |

I always took a whiter than white approach to misappropriating things from work.
I used to be in the services and when I split up from my ex and fought custody she called the military police to try to drop me in it.
I had five officers spend hours searching and fail to even turn up a battery or roll of tape.
I was so glad I'd never taken a thing home. That would have ended my career and lost me my pension. |

I often end up taking stuff into my work place such as stationary so i am able to do the childrens learning journeys, books so they have new interesting and whole books, toys, i have also taken stuff i in order to be able to certain activites with the children such as items for holistic and sensory play, many of us staff do that and last Christmas i even took art and craft stuff so we could start making Christmas "makes" after october half term !!!!
We are allowed to eat the meals alongside the children when there is enough food left over and it would be thrown away otherwise, although Ofsted like staff to eat with the children for social reasons anyway !
I dont take stuff home unless i am going to do some work such as preperation for an activity.

I work for a charity and I wouldn't dream of taking things as in the long run it would have a effect on the care we can give our patients.
I would take the miniature soaps from the hotel if they were a decent brand |

OK, feel really bad after all the whiter than white comments. I used to work for a popular restaurant chain and when I got my first house the crockery and cutlery all came from said establishment. I never had any work colleagues over for fear of them discovering my 'sticky fingers'
That was until I was invited to my bosses house a few weeks later and found out his tableware was remarkably similar as hed been doing it for years! |

Not if I feel I'm being looked after. However, I have worked in a couple of places were I felt like a mobile energy unit. These places I looted bare. One place I worked, I was being made redundant the day before I moved out of my aged parent's house and I went to town on that place. It was a call centre and I managed to annex all the boxes I needed to flit, a few vases, clocks, fruit bowls, computer chairs, stationary, Christmas decorations (I had to return the big tree as neither parts matched), white spirit and a step ladder.
Owing to the place closing and a good attendance clause in my redundancy contract I had to work New Years Eve on my own and was most put out by this. Hence the industrial scale acquisition of kit. I was quite impressed at what a call centre had to offer to the intrepid person with the hump.  |
