Entitled employee eats more than half of the homemade cake his coworker brought for the office: 'When someone brings food in for the office, it's generally meant for the whole office, not just one person.'

She was right to call out his greed in front of the whole office. If she had let it slide, he would've done the same thing to another innocent baker!

Many employees are afraid to call out their coworkers' bad behavior directly. If someone is making you feel uncomfortable in the workplace, you're allegedly supposed to go to HR about it instead of handling it yourself. Not everyone wants to escalate problems to the level where company higher-ups are getting involved, so you have to make a decision about how you're going to handle problems with colleagues. 

Whether it's better to go to HR, talk to your coworker personally, or ignore the problem depends entirely on the nature of the problem. Is your coworker mildly annoying to you in social situations? If so, you should probably just grin and bear it, because there's nothing you can do to change their personality. Is your coworker loudly burping at your shared table every day, grossing you out? It's best to talk to HR about it rather than handle it yourself. If your coworker is constantly commenting on your weight in a "positive" way that makes you uncomfortable, you might want to talk to them personally first before escalating it to HR. Saying, "I don't feel comfortable talking about weight loss at work," could be all that you need to say to make them stop. A lot of people don't even realize that discussing certain topics is uncouth until someone directly tells them how they feel about it!
