Online (Ask a Manager Blog): Alison Green invited readers to share stories of office theft—food, stationery, even personal electronics. Multiple anecdotes highlight how surprisingly common such pilfering is, ranging from stolen lunches to a boss absconding with an employee’s iPad. Commenters confess either having been theft victims or, occasionally, perpetrators. The post underscores that even small-scale theft damages trust and creates a toxic undercurrent in workplaces.
- If you frequently bring lunch to the office, consider packaging or labeling methods that discourage theft.
- Over 1–2 months, watch for recurring missing items and discuss with colleagues or managers if it becomes a pattern.
- In the longer term, office theft might signal deeper cultural or morale issues—raise concerns through proper channels.
- In the meantime, keep valuable electronics or personal heirlooms secure rather than leaving them unattended.
