some employees can really make you lose your cool

Hi, You are right. Some employees are very annoying. They work as per their will. The employee should shown courtesy to ask or tell you or other employees about taking printer. He has no right to take anything from other department. Permission should be taken by him. His behavior is really irritating to lose your coolness.

I honestly find it offensive. I agree, every office have their own equipment and it is under their care. On their accounts whether stolen, damage or what. If it was on good intention, the staff who used it should have asked permission earlier. But since he took it when they all left, he must really have no intention of letting them no. In our office, though we have different equipment assigned, whenever other departments would borrow we allow because in the first place, these ALL BELONGED to our office. Just that, the permission since required because it's accountable for different people. A lesson learned for him.

That was sneaky of the other employee. If he needed to print something, he should have asked. Hopefully if it was work related, he would be able to do it.

Yes it happens, during my teaching and administrative career of 40 years i have many such, but i tried to keep cool and handled the situation very tactfully, i have punished the defaulter too, it is necessary. thanks for sharing

of course yes,i think that everyone would also feel the same way,because its really annoying and pissed you off when other people or department use your things without any notice,because those things are all in your care and anything will happen to that will surely charge to you.

That really happens in all workplace. Since we are working with different people with different personalities, it is hard to maintain our cool. This is understandable. But we also have to make sure that we should also take control of whatever emotions we are facing so not to complicate the situation even more.

There are really people who doesn't care towards the feelings of others. They are just thinking of themselves and how they can take advantage with other people.

You are right some employee also hot tempered and some time argue with boss or other employees. While I was working in a company there also separate printer for department but if needs then move here and there.

Well asking permission is really important so the owner wont be take for granted. Permission is really important so the owner will not have hard time finding things. It will pissed me off if that happened to me too.

I agree with you that some employees can make you lose your cool. Some just do not appreciate everything that you do for them. I feel that a lot take advantage of you and your hard work. Most of the time you do not get credited for your hard work. I also cannot stand working with others who do not want to work together as a team to get task completed.
