When you're considering a job, you want to look for red flags that might exist in your office environment. Do the employees seem happy? What is the employee retention rate? Will you be able to store your food safely in the office fridge without others chowing down on your lunch? These are the factors that matter!

Stealing is never okay. It's morally wrong, and especially in the workplace, can cause a massive dip in employee comfortability and drain the trust you and your coworkers have with one another. The golden rule is to treat others the way you want to be treated, so the coworker in this story must want someone to ransack their refrigerator like a thief in the night.

The woman in this story has had her lunch stolen every day for the last two weeks and was dumbfounded at the audacity of a coworker feeling so entitled that they can call dibs on her food. The woman finally puts her foot down and starts storing her lunch in her cubicle. One day, she goes to microwave her lunch and brings it back to her desk to eat. A coworker then proceeded to ask her if she had come in late that day because her lunch was not in the office refrigerator. Everything clicked. The woman asks her if she is the lunch thief, and she responds that she was simply "borrowing" the meals. How does that work? She goes so far as to bring a plate and demands that the woman share her lunch with her. You can't make this up.
