Coworker caught stealing 48 muffins intended for the entire team, turning the quarterly goals celebration into a CCTV thief witch hunt: ‘There were just 4 muffins left for 30 people’ – FAIL Blog

In any other office, this would lead to an eventual firing. Theft is theft, even when it’s a collection of goodies. HR should recognize this outlandish behavior for what it is, disregarding their employee’s potential predisposition for muffins and looking at the bigger picture. They bought almost 50 muffins for a team of 30+ employees, but only one employee got to benefit from it. 

That’s not good office politicking if you ask me.

Many of the employees are calling for retribution for Muffingate, but HR may have its hands tied. Here’s hoping the next muffin party doesn’t get ruined by a baked goods bandit once more, and if it does, perhaps she’ll have the decency to be more lowkey about it.
