Would you ?????

I do it and I am doing it more frequently nowadays because I am planning to quit the job where I am right now and there are things in abundance over there, even other staffs take some at home and when I join thatr work I was so afraid to take even a paper at home but now I have a punch even at my place.

I am a businessman and I can't answer this question as an office goer.But as a boss,I don't like people taking home office stationary for personal use.If I were an office goer,I won't do it either.Think for a second,if you were a boss of some company,will you appreciate this and find where you are.Cheers!

hi kethy! its been a long time.^^ i also take some little things from the office. like ballpoint pens, pencils, plastic covers, etc. yeah, its shameful because its already a form of corruption. and there's no excuse for that. but then, i don't use them for only personal use, i also use them in the office. so i guess i can call it borrowing. it happens a lot here in the office. not just borrowing, but outright taking. ^^;; oh well, it's already in the mentality of the people. it's hard to get rid of it.

honestly and frankly - i do that... but usually i only take the item considered - recycle or 'going to the wastebin'.. i've taken home - used files, used colour paper, big clips.. we usually have a big cleanup day, where we 'identify' what things we no longer wish to keep, we empty our files from all the outdated documents, etc.. and we end with quite a number of things which we could use again, and some which we decide could go to the dustbin.. and normally these items are the ones i take home. why?.. like colour paper - i have schoolgoing kidz and most of the times they have 'school projects' or art project that needs just a little bit of colour paper - so, instead of having to buy a whole stack or packet of colour paper, i just give them the used ones.. we also have a lot of foreign staff, who leave after their contract is due.. and when they leave, they usually leave behind loads of personal stationery - these items also we normally ask if there are any takers - before we 'donate' them to the admin department safekeeping...

If it's got your company logo on it, be aware that someone would have proof to turn you in. When I was first dating my husband, I received a letter in the mail from a company. It turns out that it was a harassing letter from my old boyfriend. My husband actually called the company and told them that this guy had been using company stationery to harass me. The manager there sounded rather stern and I can only assume he got in trouble for it....... He left me alone after that, by the way! :)

Yes I also take few stationary from my office.Some times I take few office pins or clips.I know this is negligible,but not fair.Now I also try to full stop to it.Thanks.

Yes, envelopes, notebooks, a stapler, staples, loo rolls, I've used the office franking machine to post something I sold on Ebay, I got a taxi home and charged it to the office account...what else? Mind you, that was over 20 years working in many different offices! Most people I work with charge their cell phones at work too.
