Company supplies, is it okay to just take them? Break room snacks, office supplies, event swag...that "just a little bit" could be career-ending. Company supplies are the property of the company, and taking them without authorization can result in internal discipline and even criminal prosecution for theft. Especially if you're in a position to manage the equipment, you could be guilty of embezzlement. This cartoon is intended to be both a laugh and a warning, as it depicts the "temptation of the break room" that many office workers face at one time or another. Theft of company equipment is not just a mistake, it's a matter of trust. Approve before you take, keep a ledger, and return immediately - the basics will protect both you and your company.
