Seriously I see these posts all the time about people who have a co-worker who steals food so they make gross food to ‘get back at them’ cause HR doesn’t do anything.

Legit question but how do you not just freak out and yell at the person? If a co-worker stole my food the 1st time I’d yell at them and curse them out, the 2nd time I’d threaten to shove the food in their fat face next time I see it happen. If HR didn’t do anything I’d threaten to quit and sue if they claimed I don’t get EI because it’s a toxic work environment.

I just don’t get how people are so passive when co-workers literally steal from them? I’d be fucking livid.

      That’s poisoning and you absolutely can be held liable for any injury you cause.

      Also, it’s a completely reasonable reason to fire you.

        What do you mean? It as a laxative to help me poop. Why are you eating my medicated sandwich?

      Careful, people have been terminated and been sued for this kind of behavior.

      You can make it very very spicy, however, as long as you’re willing to eat it too
