I will try to make this as short as possible but then answer any questions that require clarification.

Background
Started working a middle sized company(accounting , tax, property ). I tend to be a the run around guy.Its mainly women here who are not the best at some of the manual office tasks, eg lifting heavy stuff, a bit of pest control such as rat poison and driving company car( no one can drive the manual car).

We have this annoying coworker who is a busy body and will micro manage work that is outside of her scope and role. she often comes to my desk and looks over my work , even when im not there.really annoying person . She reported me to my manager for not being able to find a file.(it was in the storage records area being scanned). She does this just to seem relevant and important and i am sick of it.

Incident.
So being the office handyman i was asked by my manager to take the company car and card to get some pest control products for the mice in the downstairs garage area and to pick up some food platters. I picked up my lunch along the way from a sandwich deli shop.

I came back and put the platters in the fridge, put my lunch(deli food platter) on my desk and went downstairs to give the foreman the mice bait.

When i came back the coworker was in hysterics claiming that i was poisoning her because she apparently she had come to my desk to check my work and ate a part of my lunch . The idiot is allergic to something and had mistake my lunch for the staff lunch in the fridge and had some. Her face was red and didnt look well.

She was led away by the first aid officers. she had to take an insulin shot or something.

The manager wants me to write some incident report about her accusation of poisoning her.

Did i do anything wrong here ?
should i get some legal advice ?

Update
Ive had some relationship problems recently so i wasnt here that much but that story is for another time.

Workwise i completed in incident report .
HR was concerned that the food and rat poison got mixed up but assured them that i had the bunnings stuff in the boot and food in the front and didnt handle them together.

coworker had to go hospital for the food allergy her face was ugly af the next day so she looked her standard. she is ok now no injuries suffered , turns out she was allergic to some nut products that was in my platter.

However they said that this will be recorded for WHS reasons which i had no objection to because my contract only has a few months left on it.

i did bring up that she micro manages me and that should not have eaten my food , HR agreed and put aside 30 dollars for my lose.

yeah i also do eat deli platters because they are tasty and when type i can use one hand .

thanks again for all the help and support everyone.

        Take her down for stealing personal items off your workspace. Unless your one big eater she couldn't mistake a small platter for work lunch -.- …

        Then add that you feel she is generally over bearing bordering on bullying and you will be seeking medical leave for the stress this has caused you and they may be liable to cover a psyc visit or 3.

          Yes, the background was well written. Notice the explanation at the start that the co-worker checks on his work, which linked back to the poisoning scene where she checked his work amd ate some of his lunch.

          How was it known she was checking your work at the time of the poisoning?

          Do you ever lock your computer screen?

          Good luck by the way.

          @elgrande: I think the obvious and most chilling inference is that if you'd put a box of rat poison on your desk as well (by accident/whatever reason), she could well have been poisoned.

          And that would not be your fault because she's rummaging around in another person's things.

      You're barking up the wrong tree…

      • JediJan on 07/03/2018 - 12:07
        +1

        Sounds like she is definitely barking mad!

        Careful choice of words required in the report, but yes, I would definitely put those words in as they are so very true.

        Like; So how did I know she was going to steal my packed lunch? I had no pre-warning that I worked with someone that would steal my food. For that is exactly what she did. Say and write everything in a bland voice … flat, so no ill intent can be garnered from your statement.

        Every report etc. expects you to offer some suggestion how such an incidence be avoided in the future. Your suggestion is that ALL staff be advised that no one is to touch any food in the office that is not theirs, or has prior approval from the office manager or member of staff.

        I broke a toe once on a badly designed desk … it had legs outside, not under, the desk. A few supervisors pushed me to report the incident but I was a bit embarrassed about it all. Also the measurement between desks in aisle was far too low … the suggestion at meeting. I was told I could wear safety boots but it was found that there just was not enough room to have new desks installed before we moved to new premises. We did move … I did not wear safety boots in the office though!

        Well, that is what I would do. She simply has no right to touch anything on your desk without prior permission from your boss / manager, and it should be put out there. I simply would not put up with it. Why let her off lightly with a lukewarm report?

      Filing a police report will set her straight.

      HR are there to protect the company and firing her will be the only option available for a soon to be convicted thief.

      This may sound petty for filing a report for stealing your food, but this is your life/career on the line.

        The police don't even bother chasing real criminals that brake into your house and steal your cars, as if they are going to care about someone who steals your lunch.

        • mskeggs on 06/03/2018 - 18:49

          If the boss accepts it is as the OP says, and is busy, they might just say "write the report" knowing nothing will come of it.

        I would be like “You took my food?!” Do you often do that? Have you done this before? Did you mean to be so rude.

        Throw the insult back in your direction. Her behaviour implies bullying to me. I can hear her wails from here, but you need to make a stand against her sometime, and this is perfect timing. Sure no one likes the word stealing, but even if you are frowned at for using it, it is what it is.

        Food is sacrilege in the office. Golden rule #1: One simply DOES NOT take food on another’s desk.

        Once in an office fridge someone had helped themselves to one slice of cheese, that belonged to the supervisor. She ranted and raved about it for hours … You can well imagine how embarrassed that staff member felt. I saw her take it but I did not know what belonged to who at the time, but saw her squirm after. I know … it was a slice of cheese, but it is not what staff should ever do.

        This is a perfect time to bring the manager’s attention that she takes too much interest in your desk. It is a pity you did not have a quiet chat to your manager prior to the ‘incident.’ Also ask, why do I have to write up the report? Surely, as I was not present at the time of the incident (theft of food from my desk) it should not be your responsibility to report on her action, that caused the incident. If they still insist then report as theft; see how they like them apples!

    File a claim for theft.

    I mean if she knows she has allergies you'd think she'd be a bit more cautious about what she's eating, especially from other people's desks.

      Exactly. I'm allergic to a multitude of things and the last thing I'd do is eat something random not knowing what's in it, let alone from someone else's desk. If she were serious about her allergies she'd carry an epipen, if not then it's just a blame someone else game. Well, I don't carry one , I should but I don't, but I'm also stringent about what I eat and in case I make a mistake well… It's entirely my fault.

    Very strange. I think perhaps what you've brought back with you looks like it would feed multiple people, and that's where the misunderstanding has come from. However, even if it was, what on there would be something that she's allergic to, that she didn't know about?

    Whatever it was, was it also included on the platter you'd brought back for the team?

    Were you holding her down forcing her to eat the item in question? Is it a known allergen that you are forbidden from bringing into the office?

    Far too many questions here. It sounds like she's taken something that she shouldn't, that's it.

      With lacto intolerants, glucose intolerant, nut alergics, and god knows what else, I wonder why companies still have staff fridge.
      I have my fridge under my desk, and every evening I lock it with a chain and padlock. I also have a hidden camera installed as USB stick, and one in the desk clock to check what happens around my desk. I also take a picture of the ink level on my pencils to check if someone used them.
      I also put the chair in exactly the same position every evening so I can see if someone sat in it after I left.

    include in your report that in your opinion she is not following safe practices in the workplace to care for her own health and wellbeing by intruding your personal workspace (and food) and you find her a risk and danger to herself as an employee, as per workplace health and safety. but using you as the cause and blame of the incident, she is shifting responsibility from her obligations to follow workplace health and safety. She ate your lunch, which you consider theft and damage of personal property, and your personal security has been compromised/violated by said persons in this incident.

    OK, just write up exactly what happened. You are not going to get in trouble for her eating something off your desk. Make the report as factual as possible, do not include anything extraneous nor allude to anything else she has been doing as that sounds like you might have tried to do something to be vindictive. When it has all cooled off a bit have a quiet chat to the manager about some of her other behaviours and ask them what the excuse was for eating something off your desk and what she was doing there in the first place.

    Keep this as clinical and unemotional as possible, you need to come across as the rational and sane one.

    • JediJan on 07/03/2018 - 12:31

      Yes, flat and unemotional. Stealing is stealing. Should be written as such.

      Check the thesaurus to find additional words to er … describe the theft and don’t leave out that you were shocked by her behaviour. All my years working in offices I only once came across someone stealing someone’s food; supervisors slice of cheese!

      • try2bhelpful on 07/03/2018 - 19:15

        I would leave out the words stealing. I would just indicate it was your food on your desk and she ate it. I think theft is a judgemental word. She will probably say she thought it was a common platter that hadn’t been put in the fridge.

          I guess so; where the thesaurus would come in handy. But I'd definitely be offended if someone helped themselves to my lunch, on my desk or elsewhere, without asking first. Not on; very baf manners. It is quite obvious the woman is at fault, but as she has tried to make things worse by trying to put blame on him, he needs to be firm in his words. She should also pay for his lunch; probably not even offered either. The platter was put away in the fridge for a later lunch, so she should have had no reason to touch that either anyway.

          Would have thought the manager should have instructed the woman write up a report also as it was her direct action that caused the problem. Manager obviously wants to distance himself from all the drama; can hardly blame him. He has the fun of formulating a plan to avoid a similar problem in the future.

          @JediJan: the manager will be getting her to write up a report. The OP should be careful about what is put in writing; using words like “theft” may well escalate the situation. I think the woman involved probably genuinely thought it was the works food platters, rather than the OPs lunch. If she has allergies she would not just eat other peoples food as it is not in her interests to do so. The OP needs to make it as easy as possible for the manager to sort out the mess by being the rational one. I’m not condoning what she is doing but reading through how the OP has described the situation rings some alarm bells. I’m not sure why the gender balance of the office is important, nor that of the other person. I would be using coworker and paring this back to explaining what happened and leave out the assumptions. The most likely outcome is this will end in mediation and keeping neutral and just explaining the facts allows the other person to hang themselves.

          @try2bhelpful:
          Don't disagree with you. I only said "woman" to distinguish the identity of OB to perpetuator. Maybe I should not use the term "perpetuator" either.☺

          The Manager may also be asking the OB to file a report too, as it appears the woman is trying to put some blame on him. He should not accept this at all. You would understand the significance if this was a pre-school setting, but as an adult she has behaved very inappropriately. A better person would have acknowledged that, apologised and moved on.

          Don't think mediation should come into it, as no mention of quarrel etc. between them. The woman appears to be just trying to "pass the buck." The company has to be seen as taking proactive action to stop this ever happening again though … staff meeting, more rules and posters reminding staff of their obligations. I think other staff members would be rather bemused, if not amused, by all this.

          @JediJan: Like all posts on this site we are only seeing one side of this issue. We have no background from her position nor why she is acting the way she is. My view is that the best way to deal with any of these complaints is to do exactly what you are asked to do in a logical and unemotional manner as possible. I have actually had to go into mediation with one of my coworkers, he was a nightmare to deal with, and I kept it very professional and presented my case with the facts. The other person pretty much hung themselves but we both got told to behave ourselves. It didn't go on the record for either of us and we moved on. Management doesn't want a mess to deal with, it is looking for an easy way that causes the minimum grief to everyone. It wouldn't surprise me if the outcome was also, "both of you behave" but she is now on the radar for them. The trick is to try to stay under the radar.

          @try2bhelpful:
          I would still be annoyed as I do not see (if OB account is correct) any fault with OB leaving his lunch on his desk. It is something all workers do almost every day. If woman does go over the top at the meeting, the OB can always ask for time out if he was finding it difficult to remain cool.

          Yes, we have all had to work alongside "nightmares" at some time of our careers. We don't always get to know or understand why they are the way they are though. Sometimes you just have to let the reason why slide and distance yourself from them. Toxic workplaces are usually the end result of such individuals' behaviour.

          Finger pointing individual is usually the one who is the perpetuator though, and I feel management would already know this, but just playing it by the books.

          @JediJan: I would be annoyed if I was the OP too, if nothing else he is out a meal. I think we are basically agreeing with each other. The best way to deal with these situations is to keep the emotion out of the situation, don't make accusations and ensure you have everything documented. Let the other person rant and rave, if they want to, then keep your own voice measured and explain the facts.

    This is quite funny actually.

    It's like your co-worker is accusing you of putting a poisoned lunch there with the expectation that she'll be coming to eat it.

    Is it normal for her to randomly just come and eat your lunch?

    Copy and paste from here:

    Incident Report
    I wasn't there but this is what I heard. Coworker ate my lunch while I wasn't at my desk and suffered an allergic reaction. Coworker was taken away for first aid and further examination.

    The End.

      This the best advice.
      Cut the nonsense and drama, and just do this.

        I'd add one sentence, make it the third; Co-worker accused me of poisoning her.

      If a similar incident happens again, you can say " I always put rat poison in sandwiches on my desk to deter rodents. I was totally unaware that a coworker would eat it."

      100% perfect. The op's story was long winded and confusing. You've captured the whole story in three clear sentences.

      Also coworker is an idiot. Stealing people's lunches when she has allergies!

      I would add some details and make it as:

      Incident Report
      I wasn't there but this is what I heard. Coworker ate my lunch while I wasn't at my desk and suffered an allergic reaction. Coworker was taken away for first aid and further examination. I confirm that there were no any form of authorisation, consent or offering from me whatsoever to allow anyone than myself ate my lunch.

      END.

      You expect us to believe your employer would ever side with your co-worker?

      The employer wouldn't be siding with the co-worker as you've put it, but an incident report must be written for these kinds of things, regardless of who's right or wrong or how stupid the whole thing sounds.

      That'd just be normal process for most companies so that there's a record of it. The co-worker may come back and try to sue the company at a later date and those records, along with the records of what was done about it at the time would be used as evidence.
