Update: Entitled Older Coworker puts her name on everything; I’m pretty sure she’s a hoarder.
I made a post a few months ago about how this coworker loves to put her name on company supplies and how she takes items from others without asking. Including my own supplies and the bottled water that’s reserved for everyone.
I’m pretty sure that same coworker is a hoarder.
We were talking about it yesterday where she takes supplies she doesn’t need and how messy her area is because she takes too many supplies.
One of my other coworkers is an obsessive neat freak and even she was commenting on how messy their location was due to the hoarding.
She also has more than 2 supplies.
I understand having a back up for when you’re almost out, I used to do something similar where if I knew I was going to be out, but didn’t want to run back to the supply closet, I’d have a backup for that reason but she’ll have 5 big jugged bottles of certain products and she doesn’t need them and doesn’t go through them as fast.
This morning, I walked in to see her name stickied note on a product that’s only for one of our machines and that machine only. She doesn’t need this product at all so I took a picture of it and let my other coworker see it just so I had another witness and told her that it was only reserved for one machine only and she ripped the sticky note off and put it back.
Besides only two of us know how to use this machine and I’m one of them. As far as I’m aware, she does not know how to use this machine and because of her age, I don’t think she’s capable.
We don’t use this machine as much as others. It pretty much sits dormant until summer. There’s no need for her to have this product.
Because she took this specific product, I have a small theory she might be stealing these products to bring home. She’s already been caught stealing already so I wouldn’t be surprised.
