Boss’s boss grabs and eats employee’s special-ordered chips, ignores ownership, and turns snack packs into a power move while everyone watches in silence: “ He admitted he had taken them. No apology, no “oops”’

Executive privilege now apparently comes with access to snack thievery. Corporate lunch hour delivers yet another case study in office life with the added thrill of watching the food chain in action, literally. Miss Vickie's Jalapeño chips, purchased with those sacred after-tax dollars, go missing. The only trace left, a satisfied senior manager and a faint scent of jalapeño drifting through the HR-approved break room. The chain of command gets a new rung labeled "will eat your lunch, then dismiss both you and your complaint in the same breath."

This brand of leadership doesn't just take credit, it takes chips. Grabbing whatever is sitting still for more than five minutes. Food disappears faster than PTO approval emails. But, if you ask me, although my list of "will risk my career for this" is longer than Amazon wishlist. A bag of chips isn't one of those instances.
