Dumping a load of rubbish from home into the work skip undetected

Shiraz 4.99

Further good news on the freeloading front.
Work has fiber so only took about 30 minutes to download season 3 of The Wire.
No 720p option but I suppose it'll have to do.
Excuse me while I copy it onto my phones SD card.

Would you not just sit back there and watch it, save you having to copy it to your SD card !!

I snuck all the cushions off a couch and 2 armchairs into the work skip over the last week,
keeping the frame for fire wood

Feels good!

It makes more sense if you're in R&D, they do get away with a lot of spending, but a day will come when they want to reel that in and have the department account for the money it's spending.


It's also a fallacy to assume you're safe because your job is important. corporations have made it their goal to reduce their dependence on smart educated people, that's why companies have departments with people taking on specific roles and tasks. They don't need experts they just need someone who can fulfil one specific role. That way it's easier to fill the jobs with inexperienced people.

OP just keeps baiting that hook........and it's taken repeatedly.

Honestly, I'm enjoying this. I had a good giggle at the box set download. Keep up the good work doss, OP. Sounds to me like you've earned it

In case your thinking how could he put have his shed into the work skip unnoticed I may have unrepresented the size of the thing.
It's one of the 40 cubic yard compactor bins, you could drive a car into it.

If you get caught no ones going to accept your robbin hood for stealing, the company will more than likely press charges to make an example out of you which would turn up if any future employers search for you online.

If its a big company its most likely nobody in the whole building is going to care, most people are probably up to similar stuff themselves. Its not a like a small company where the owner is there and would see it as money out of his pocket.

did this in work before alright

although it was all garden rubbish, and I didnt have a car, so on a paid taxi visit off-site, I had it swing home for some personal effects >.>

Well done OP for actually throwing it in the skip, people who do as you where I work just empty their contents beside the skip, I suppose it better that way in case someone might do themselves a back injury and put in a claim against the company.
I think the government should bring in a law where every household should have a bin and when the bin people come it is weighed so its proof that they are not illegally dumping it. If you dont have a bin then the litter warden can stakeout your house.
Its this kind of nanny state attitude that really makes me sick of this country, out law cigarette packs, cant show alcohol advertsiment before 9pm and now a bin collection monitering system,
It just makes me wonder where they are willing to stop, just to keep pay back the bondholders.

I guess you'd have no problem if someone stole the milk out of your fridge, it's only a small thing.

Shane-KornSpace

Used to print everything I needed in work. No cctv, and manager didn't give a damn.

Myself and my manager used to use the work Internet for torrenting movies.

Always charged my phone and tablet in work. I'm sure that saved me a few quid on the electricity bill.

Also used to use the work VOIP phone to make international calls. What was 2c or 3c to them, would have been a few euro for me at home.

frozenfrozen

The best part is that loss of efficiency by people constantly checking facebook, boards, youtube will dwarf the couple hundred euro in printing.

Funny, I just stuck a free add on adverts that my old kitchen was 'free to take away' and somebody just came and took it the next day, I didn't have to bring it anywhere a unit a day

Um ...yeah. Someone dumped some home-stuff in the skip of a big multinational I work for a lot. (wasn't a whole lot either..)I had a meeting with the facilities manager about putting a lockable lid on the skip to prevent this- he was very huffy that this happened. His big Boss was even huffier. The skip was removed from site straight away to prevent a recurrence. Camera drives were scanned but none caught the deed. I'm guessing if they had, the boot for that person was on the cards. This might not be the best idea ever, if someone wants a reason to can your azz. People get huffy over odd things.

Scum lord must have quit smoking the weed. Got blasted by him a year or so ago cost he was pro weed and I was against it. Not really in a position to be holier than thou with the OP on this one IMO. I mean illegal is illegal...

Jeefff

I was labouring on a site in Dollymount, this fella came up in a new Mercedes, came over to me and whispered if he could use the skip for a couple of items, I was the only lad out the front so I said 'yeah, no bother'.. He threw me five euro, went to the boot and took out a full set of Callaway golf clubs and a rubbish bag.
It was a huge high skip so I said 'here let me put them in for ye'
I chucked the bag in and carefully put the clubs in my van when he drove off..
Got a couple hundred quid for them later on..
This was 2007 though

I could work plenty efficiently browsing boards at the same time, working in a call centre for long enough means you take the exact same calls every day so can sleepwalk through most of your shift.

I used the office printer to print off cvs to apply for other jobs :pac:

Everyone takes advantage of their job in some shape or form. Even if it's always charging a phone.

FrStone

A few where I work use the skip for all their household waste.

Personally I just do the printing and charging my phone. I'd take the odd few items home too.

I started off hating the OP, now I think he's great. His charm won me over.

goz83

I don't agree with stealing from work. Little and often adds up to a lot. I worked in a german supermarket on night shift a good few years back. On,y things i ever took were things that we had to throw into the bin because the sell by date was expiring that day, even though the food was not yet at the expiry date. The supermarket still called this stealing, but I saw them wasting good food and took small amounts home with me sometimes to eat. I had free milk and donuts for break every night

WTF would you start off hating OP?

As someone rightly pointed out earlier in the thread, nearly all jobs have their perks, some more than others, but if you think about where you work, I'm sure you have too. The OP is maximizing his perks allowance, no big deal IMO. There is a lot of worse sh1t going on in the general workplace than excessive ink/paper use and a bit of downloading.

I say OP should update this thread as a "daily diary" of sorts.

Bookmarked.

Oh such pressure, yesterday was a standout day, not much planned for today.
I tell work this time every week I'm just slipping down to the bank during my 10am break.
What they don't know is that I'm doing the weekly cash & cheque lodgement for the wife's business, saves her lugging the 3 kids into town during the holidays.
It only takes about 5 minutes owing to those new self service lodgement machines which then gives me 15 minutes to run around Aldi to pick up the stables of the weekly shop.
So I'm back in work about 10 minutes after my break but so what, everyone else are still rolling out of the canteen then anyway.
Next I log onto Tesco online to book a late slot for Thursday evening for the other half of our weekly shop.
So I can then spend the next hour perusing all the special offers & wondering if I deserve cashew nuts or not.

Made it into work about 10 minutes early

Ah lads, give the OP some credit. He DID figure out this masterplan all by himself. AND he DID get up early. Might even have missed his Wheaty Bangs and toastie soldiers. AND he used his own petrol to get the rubbish to the skip. AND, instead of dumping his stuff in a ditch or open ground along the route, he drove it all the way to work. AND he unloaded it all by himself. AND he probably clocked in on time.

I'm sure that, when working, he's the best employee they've ever had and he has a marvellous career ahead of him. I just hope he smiled for the CCTV cameras along the way - that always looks better at the tribunal - and has access to his employer's network printers activity logs.

It's always nice to freeload something off work now & then.
Missus needs about 160 colour pages printed a week for her customer handouts.
I manage to run these off for years unknown to my colleagues.
I also update her blog, admin her bulk mailer & update her website during my office hours.

Regale me with tales of how you use your work hours or workplace to your advantage ?.

I use my work hours and workplace to my advantage in the following way.

I work hard during my work hours.
I get better at my job.
I increase my level of contacts and people who know how good I am
I get a promotion twice in a year
I earn more money

We had a massive document shredder in my office for shredding confidential documents (stuff with account numbers/id etc) and every now and then I'd bring in all my old bills and shred them. It wasn't really on the sly though, we had permission to do it.

Ooh, the bitterness is grand and strong in this one.

If it's a big company, meh. It's kinda crap behaviour when other people aren't doing it, but somehow the OP thinks they have a right to do it and won't admit they're in the wrong. If they just admitted they were in the wrong I'd kinda think "fair enough" tbh (if it's a big company).
It's the people cheering on the OP for socking it to the man (and has it actually been confirmed it's a big company?) who are hilarious. What are ye? 15?
