S Dilemma: Is It OK to Take Office Supplies For Kid's Back to School Needs?

Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Carrie and it's about back to school supplies. Here's her email: Hi Jaime. I have a question. My office offers us all kinds of office supplies for our work. They are very generous with just about everything from pens/pencils to post it notes, paperclips,even notepads. Well, it's now time to start looking at Back to School needs for one of my children. Since my office is so generous, I decided to take some stuff and give it to my kid. One of my coworkers told me it was stealing. I told them that the office happily supplies the products and never once asks where they're going so I don't think it's stealing at all. What do you think? Thanks for the help ~ Carrie. Well, I do think it's stealing. I'm sure a lot of us have accidentally taken one pen or one paperclip, but to take a bunch of supplies. It's wrong. The office is being very generous but unless you ask the boss if it's okay, I think it's the wrong move. That's my take anyway. What do you think? Let's help Carrie out and let me know on the TRY Facebook page.
