Reddit user ‘tKLogicTA’, who is also the boss of a company, used to bring coffee, snacks, and chips for employees, but lately, the snacks have been getting over before the month ended. When the Redditor asked the employees to be mindful of picking up the snacks, there was no change in their behaviour. So, ‘tKLogicTA’ decided to implement some changes in the company.

Everyone was pretty stunned, and one of the mechanics even had to drag his toolbox from home to be able to work properly again in the shop,” wrote ‘tKLogicTA’. The user further added, “I believe everyone here is getting paid fairly based on where we are in the midwest. Most of these individuals I have known for years, and the turnover is pretty low. Most of it is apprentices graduating or senior mechanics wanting more money, but there really isn’t any unless you want to go management in another shop.” Take a look at the post shared the Redditor here: This post was shared just a few hours ago.

Don’t see why you would throw away all that goodwill,” said a fourth. (Also Read: ‘Stealing electricity’: Boss yells at employee for charging phone at work)Another said, “I don’t really get it. If OP wants to generously provide his workers with chips for the month, why does it matter to him if those peeps prefer to go heavy and eat them all in 3 weeks instead of 4? It’s not as if they came to him whining after 3 weeks that he needed to buy more. That would have left a bad taste for sure. But eating them faster than he expects?”
