Obelix Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 OK. If it is actually company policy and you had all followed the procedure as others have said you could verbally complain along with your colleagues. I dont know how big your company is but if your boss has a boss of their own make a complaint to the next higher authority. Something seems very unfair. As stated before, in law there is probably very little you can do as the fridge will always belong to the company who will have every right to whatever they want with it. However, who makes the final decision be it your boss of someone higher could be a different matter. Throwing the food away is criminal damage. Whilst the company owns the fridge it doesnt own the contents. How far you can take it depends on how much you want to rock the boat - but if you can do it without people knowing who it was I'd stuff the food up her exhaust pipe and see what happens come closing time.

Mummytwo Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Sounds like your boss had a strop. You and the now lunchless staff should have eaten the profiteroles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummytwo Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Her reasoning was that the fridge 'was full and look untidy'. She couldn't fit in a big tub of profiteroles she had just bought. Everything in the fridge was in date and had a receipt taped to it, in tune with company policy. As I say, some stuff had been only been bought by people on their dinner break earlier in the day. There wasn't anything expensive or anything, just 2 for £5 ready meals, yoghurts, sarnies, milk, etc, but we thought we may have been given a warning or something. We do have it in writing that the fridge is for 'staff use', incidentally. All bar one of us was in the building at the time, it would've taken five minutes to mention it. The profiteroles, as it happens, was the only thing that remained in there. 2 meals for £5 is expensive to me I should hope people aren't too afraid to ask for their money back. How the hell can she expect the staff to perform up to scratch if their brains are starved for her fatty profiteroles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regatta Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 easy answer to this! chuck her/his stuff out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 easy answer to this! chuck her/his stuff out. Silly childish answer. Only likely to provoke ongoing problems and disharmony. The adult, sensible way to tackle this is for the OP and his colleagues to approach the boss tell them they thought her behaviour was unnaceptable and ask that she refund the cost of the food she threw away.

On the contrary. If all of the people affected present a united front and put their concerns in writing - with a word to the boss that their concerns will be passed to the boss's boss unless there's a satisfactory outcome I think they stand a good chance of getting a) an apology and possibly b) their money back.

A UNITED FRONT:hihi: you will be suggesting taking the boss to a tribunal next, infact it's a wonder you hav'nt suggested an all out strike. get real and grow up, the boss has got a bazzy on and chucked their grub out, not threatened to shoot them at dawn.

hair-rig Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 You should have put bogeys on her profiteroles and watched her stuff her greedy fat face with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWOL Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Surely she stole the food which is a criminal offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
