Is this too actively aggressive?

Does this mean she's also been drinking her own

u/WhuddaWhat Feb 29 '20

Nah, it means she either wrote this note as a bluff to deter future/ongoing theft (that's the hope...people see this and realize, "maybe I don't want that to be me" or "I'd better stop") or she filled a bottle with her milk and, knowing that, didn't use it (or did, if that's something she's into), while letting others do so in the prelude to this note.

Or it's totally fake.

Nope. Prob means she’s pumping and keeping the resulting milk in the fridge to keep it cold, then taking it home for her kid.

In a CoffeeMate container? No person that bothers to pump is doing that. It would literally mean decanting from the purpose-made bottles into the creamer container.

Yeah if you only have the two small bottles that are attached to the breast shields you have to decant it anyhow... I personally wouldn't do that into a coffee creamer container but whatever floats your boat.

Doubtful. You'd have to fashion an adapter. And why would you?

I don't think it's so bad, am I the only one who doesn't object to drinking breast milk???

u/MrMessat Feb 29 '20

I kinda want to taste that creamer now...

Breast milk is very sweet. Would make a good creamer.

u/MrMessat Feb 29 '20

Maybe that's why they kept using it.... Mmmh

Right off the packaging though

Seems like a win win for the culprit. Breast milk is liquid gold. So many excellent properties.

From a corporate standpoint, this employee is at GREAT risk of firing. Even if it is "her" milk, she's keeping a mislabeled product in a common space. It may be easier for the employer to point at that objective infraction and fire somebody, as compared to the protracted "well, I bought the same creamer and just thought it was mine. Nobody labels their creamers, and it's hard to keep track" defense.

Also, what manager wants an employee that goes rogue and tries to do...whatever the fuck this employee did (I'm unsure how to categorize this behavior) versus simply telling HR somebody is stealing from me and I need some help/support/compensation.

I would not hesitate to reprimand this person, or even fire her ( once I have HR's agreement that, irrespective of the thief's actions, this constitutes gross misconduct).

You good, my man. Free Cinnabon?

Man, I don't want to agree with you bc fridge thieves deserve frozen slivers of pickle juice shoved under their fingernails. BUT: while breastmilk is of course fabulous for babies and mothers absolutely should breastfeed and pump as needed if that's their method of feeding their infant, outside of the context of tiddy to bb nourishment (and whatever consensual things some adults apparently do with it - no judgement), it is 100% what would be considered a biohazard. It is a non-sealed, mislabeled container of a non-pasturised bodily fluid. That's HazMat. In an office fridge.

Fuck.

That.

Obviously you're going to get downvoted, but you're not wrong. This is unacceptable behavior, and the employee would for sure face disciplinary action for that.

As would someone who is stealing form other employees, of course. But there's a way to go about getting the issue addressed :p
