While it's great that many employees feel at ease in the office, some become so relaxed that they start taking office items home with them. A survey by Harris Interactive and lawyers.com reveals that 58% of office workers have taken supplies for personal use. This practice puts them at risk of being fired and could lead to legal issues, even for something as minor as a stapler or a pen.Among those who admit to taking supplies, the most commonly pilfered items are pens and pencils (77%), sticky notes (44%), and paper clips (40%). Surprisingly, 2% have even taken decorations like plants, paintings, or furniture.
Attorney Alan Kopit, legal editor at LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell's lawyers.com, notes that many people forget that these resources are company property. It's not just about pens and paper?"employees are also taking expensive items like computers, software, and books. Kopit advises employees to review their office policies to ensure their actions align with company regulations.
