"When I worked in the office at my last job, we had a strict policy against taking office supplies. Another medical secretary in the office took home several items like paper, printer ink, staples, etc. I reminded her that the company had a strict policy regarding taking home office supplies, which could result in disciplinary action or termination. She put the items back, but I witnessed her doing the same thing a week later, taking even more valuable items. I notified my supervisor of the situation, including the first time that I reminded her that it was against company policy. It's never an ideal situation to turn in a coworker, but it's important to speak up and do the right thing, even when it's difficult or uncomfortable."
