Survey Says 18% of Your Co-Workers are Terrible People

Maybe this has happened to you once or twice — or maybe a dozen times, depending on where you work.

If so, you aren’t alone.

American Express OPEN surveyed over 1,000 employees and found that 18% admitted to stealing someone else’s lunch from the company fridge.

The numbers are unsettling. You might be looking around your office as you read this, wondering whom you can trust — and whom you can’t.

“To think that nearly 1 in 5 of my co-workers is a sociopathic monster is appalling,” says Alex Mahadevan, data journalist at The Penny Hoarder.

The Office Lunch Bandit is ruining more than just your food routine. They’re also ruining your budget.

According to CNBC, a co-worker stealing your lunch can cost you big.

Not only do you lose the average $6.30 in groceries in your lost lunch, but you’re also out the average $11.14 you’ll spend on a replacement takeout meal.

If the Office Lunch Bandit were to steal one of your lunches every month for a year, that will add up to you losing around $210 total, CNBC reports.
