How do you deal with co-workers who steal food?
This is a common workplace problem. Please provide any proven solutions.
take the food that is being stolen from you, ie a ham sandwich or a yogurt. if it is being stolen from you make a sandwich with terrible ingredients - Take your ham sandwich and put some spicy horseraddish and soy sauce on the inside of the bread along with a huge amount of salt. Make your lunch as good looking as possible while putting terrible ingredients on the inside. A few laxitives wont hurt either. I seriousley dowbt they will continue taking your food after they think what you eat will give them diharea for a few days.
People are sneaky, but you have to get creative. Once I talked about the chicken I had made me sick, said I was fixin to throw it out. Instead later, I ate it, no one touched it. But you cant use that line again or they know you're fibbing. I make sure it is not appealing to others. Crunched up aluminum foil, tore up labels on drinks. One time I was mad and wrote on a soda bottle, after tearing the paper label off a little, and wrote with a black marker ' POISON Do u feel lucky today?!! But some people will steal anyway.

How do you deal with a co-worker who doesn't like you?This is a major issue. Your work place should be a place of productivity and friendship. But, is not always like that. There are a lot of people jealous of you, who envy your work, and there are many people willing to give you such a hard time.

What are some good Christmas gift ideas for co-workers?I want to get everyone the same thing instead of going out to find personalized gifts for each person. Candy in a cup is getting a little old. I have run out of ideas...
