How are people so chill about co-workers stealing food? (lemmy.ca)

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.

I'm guessing that they don't know who stole the food

I would still make a big deal about it, and demand a solution

So say 100 people work at this company, the other 98 not involved don't want to listen to you rant and rave either. They might understand, but the more you escalate the less they want to deal with your shit either.
