'Am I wrong for physically taking food away from [my] coworker?': Employee spots their new replacement stealing coworkers' food from the office

There's nothing like an office party to figure out who's really a team player and who isn't. This Redditor was leaving their company and had spent the last two weeks on the job training their replacement, Amy. OP's boss threw a "going away" party that happened to have a ton of leftovers. Now, it's quite clear from this post that OP is a team player who always thinks about the well-being of their coworkers (personally, this mentality is foreign to me). They ensured that all leftovers would be divided equally among the coworkers so everyone could take some food home.

However, Amy was the anti-team player in this situation. She tried to take more than her fair share home, to the point that OP had to physically remove some of those leftovers from her hand. What a way to make a strong impression during your first two weeks on the job, Amy!
