There is someone stealing food from work!

May this woman doesn't want to do it but have to do it for he family to survive. Even so, it is still wrong. Either she should be fired from work or should be suspended for doing this. This sanctions won't do her any good so she better know what's good for her or not. The company or the management of the kitchen might have problems with their stocks if she won't stop this. As for my work, since I am new in the company, I was only informed that other employees really love to put their grocery in our pantry but when they saw that their stock got less everyday because someone is stealing and eating it up, they already stopped stocking up food in our pantry. That ended the happy days of the food thief..

Hi, blue65packer. It really seems like this woman needs some financial assistance when it comes to having food in her household. It is a shame that her daughter and husband will not work. It makes her feel stressed out. She is now placed into a tight situation of where she is trying to make ends meet for her family. Stealing is very wrong and she should not take away from the company's food products. When she steals, it takes away from the college students and staff as well. This is a serious issue here and I hope that someone will be able to talk to her privately about this. I believe that she should be spoken to about this. She obviously does not have enough of money to buy food and she may not have enough of food in her home to eat at all. Her husband and daughter should get off their lazy behinds and try to at least provide some kind of financial assistance to their home, so that everyone can be properly fed. It is not fair that this woman has to work hard and then steal, just to feed herself and her families stomach. This is a very sad situation here and if the husband or the daughter does not try to help out, it will only get worse. Besides, if anyone should be busting their behind working, it should be her own husband anyhow.

Wow!! She is deliberately doing things like this and no one seems to want to Stop her? Is she making everyone feel Sorry for her since her husband is not working and her daughter lives at home? I can remember back when I used to work for Circle K there was a girl who worked there who was always helping herself to stuff and it is a wonder they never seemed to bother saying anything to her as well.

Your supervisors "can't" do anything about it, or won't do anything about it? To me, if it is a private contractor to the college, then you've done pretty much all you should be doing. That is, you have reported it to your supervisors. It's not your job to make the supervisors do theirs. If you are all state employees, then you do have more of a case to do something about it. If she's a state employee, then she is stealing from the taxpayers.

this is happening in our office too. we suspected the people who cleans the area but nobody caught them in the act yet. never happened to me personally but lots of my officemates complained about their food being stolen. actually there was this employee before whom they caught stealing in our pantry. she's no longer part of the company and i dont really know the real reason why she left. some says because of the stealing issue. sad to think of them because they're working so they can buy something to eat, not steal something so they can eat..

Stealing is a crime, and this case, the woman has to suffer the consequences of her wrong doing. If she is left unchecked, she will take it to mean that what she is doing is right or that you are all tolerating this kind of behavior. I think she should be reported to the right person who can give her the punishment she deserves. What she is doing is not good.

I would report someone for stealing from work but what can you do if even the people who run the place, do not do anything about it? Her husband and daughter should get out and get a job to help her because one day she is going to get in major trouble for stealing for all of them.

Why can't the supervisors stop her? That seems to me to be their job...otherwise that is called stealing in most places! If anyone else got caught what would they do?

I am not really sure about that,I guess it depends on why she is doing that. So at least I would take her beside and talk to her to have more clearness

what could an employee do if the supervisor said he cant do anything? if you have the guts to bypass your supervisor then do it and report it to the top management. i agree that to take such a measure would appear extreme. why not try to talk it out with her? or with her friend? does that employee have friends. if she has, might as well course it through her friends.

wow. I also have plenty of experience regarding stealing. My grandmother's helper steals a lot from her house. And it is also food. Maybe she brings it home for her family at home too. To come to think of it, it's just too much... since we are paying her everyday. She also took home some curtains and as my grandmother visited their place, she saw her very own curtain hanging in somebody's window pane..hahaha Another helper too sneaks on my mommie's telephone. Then telephone bill arrived, we we're so shock to receive the bill!! My mommie can't believe it, since she was only the one using the telephone in the house... until we found out and caught that helper using the phone. She worked hard and served my mommie for how many months just to repay those telephone bills he made - calling only her meaningless boyfriend.

I work in a hospital and we are having the same issue and some. Anything left out or any locker left without a lock is targeted. Anything from an opened drink, to sandwiches, to pocket change, to over 100 bucks has been stolen. Our supervisor put up a note saying we understand these are hard times due to the economy but it doesn't mean we have to add to it. I found out who one of the people were and I let my supervisor know. If anything, I would go the route I did. Tell them to ask first because you'd be surprised how many people will say o.k. If they continue without permission, notify somebody.

Wow, this lady has some serious issues! I know she would be trying to help her family, but if her family isn't helping back she shouldn't be stealing food for this! I believe that she should be fired for what she is doing. It might be a little extreme, but maybe cut her ties with the family for a while until they learn how to get off their lazy butt. I would tell her something and lock up all the food before she leaves for work. She should be reported for this.
