I come in to work yesterday morning to find that someone had broken the arm rest on my office chair over the weekend. #1 No one should have any need to be at my desk. #2 If they are or need to be, put shit back where it came from when finished. So, someone went through my pen cup, took all my good pens, left the cheap pens they didn't want laying on my desk and broke my chair. My office chair came from home and was my fathers office chair before he died, so it had sentimental value to it. Work is replacing the chair but that isn't the point; it's principal! No note, no one came by to say it was an accident or apologize. What they did do is position back in place to where it fell apart when I sat down in it. 
To go a step further, the manager approved the purchase of another office chair and left it at that. When I was in management, we found out who destroyed whatever the item was/is and held them accountable for destruction of company property or made them replace whatever they ruined if it belonged to another employee. Nothing said to anyone, nothing done whatsoever; in fact, he acted like it was a pain in his ass to hit the "approve" button in our system when I sent the PO to him. Regardless, I have new chair for my ass to sit in, problematic situation averted, but still, no accountability so the mentality will continue. This is the problem. Let them get away with it and they continue to do it, if you attempt to do something about it then YOU are the asshole. 
It amazes me at how so many people, have such little regard for anyone but themselves. |
This right here. There is so much stuff that goes on where I work, and they do not hold anyone accountable. And half the crap they do my guys are responsible for having to fix.
I even started keeping a spreadsheet of stupid shit that people have done to destroy equipment that I present at monthly management meetings. It lists the equipment, ID tag, reason of premature failure, and what it cost.
YTD we are at $67K for stuff that could have been completely avoided. President then says we have to start holding people accountable, the facility manager agrees, then does nothing about it. So ultimately it's the Company President's fault for not following up with the manager.
Meanwhile I want to grab any of the guys doing this shit and squeeze them by the neck until they almost go unconscious...and whisper to them as they are slowly passing out....This is why your bonus you complained about sucked so much last year!!!!
