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
That's dumb, sorry about that. If you want to smooth over the office politics, you could bring in an identical bag of chips (or equivalent item) and offer to share with coworkers. Obviously maybe cost prohibitive but might make your narc coworker relax a bit.
No it won't, people like this don't do reciprocity or appreciate gestures of kindness
An antisocial ghoul that would report a ziploc of chips stolen would probably see that kindness as some kind of aggressive gesture, anyone who would do such a thing is living in a different social reality.
