Nearly one out of every five workers across the US has admitted to stealing their company's
office supplies at some stage of their working life, a new study has revealed.
A recent Spherion Workplace Snapshot report found that 19 per cent of workers polled admitted to stealing some kind of
office supplies from one of their emplioyers throughout their career.
Of those who had admitted stealing
office supplies, only 21 per cent said that they felt guilty or regretted taking the
office equipment.
The results of the survey are bad news for companies throughout the country as a similar study in 2006 found that only 18 per cent of workers had taken
office supplies for personal use.
A total of 15 per cent of workers who had taken
office supplies claimed that their place of employment would not miss them.
