This is mine now

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I took my printer to work because the one in my office is broken. When I tried to leave, my boss stopped me and accused me of stealing it from the office. Nobody would believe me when I explained. Now my boss has a new printer. FML

If you don't care about losing your job, I'd report him for theft

You should've at least told him you were bringing you own printer in.

I mean FYL for getting your printer taken but why would you bring yours in? I dunno that seems really unnecessary and weird, like were you about to get fired for not having a hard copy of a report and already reported the broken printer?

Sometimes going above and beyond gets you screwed

I would've kept walking and taken home my damn printer anyway.

shouldn't have brought your own printer in. Where I work, IT regularly visit and take whatever they damn well like, including my brand new ergonomic mouse (company paid for though). I just learned to say "equipment don't work, so I can't do that job until our section replaces it". If your office has more than one printer, why not just network connect to another one?

Agree or email the work to home and print it out there if they don't

There is no CCTV where you work?

That is why you never ever bring in any equipment from home into the job, let them fix or replace the equipment.

Why not show your boss the broken printer and your printer from home so you can prove your point?

So why didn't you tell anyone beforehand you brought your own printer?

Find the reciept for your printer and bill him for it.
