They were all but guaranteed to be thrown out and wasted, so after asking if anyone else wanted any, I took them home in a ziploc for me and my friend.

Apparently didn't sit right with someone, and walked in today and got scolded/job threatened over it. Over some leftover BBQ chips.

Lack of solidarity and brown nosing management man...sucks. Just feel disappointed and let down.

Edit: Thank you all for the support and sympathetic comments, they helped me feel better than I did. I was pretty shaken at the time, but have calmed significantly since (albeit quite tired mentally and emotionally). I'm going to try and move on from the experience, though I may have an idea who the culprit is due to circumstantial evidence. I'll just be more cautious around them and the majority of my coworkers from now on. Wish I didn't have to be, but thems the breaks. Thx again <3

    One thing I've learned working my first job: Don't tell anyone anything, because they'll tell someone else eventually.

      No friends at work. No trust — just business.

      You can even like your coworkers, but do not mistake a coworker for a real friend.

        When one of you quits etc then you can start a real friendship, which is nice. But otherwise keep it cordial and don't get too personal. And don't gossip for the love of god.
