Use your head.. Or leave, Simply put.. You are part of the problem..
Actually the problem is that people put up with the corporate buttf*cking that goes on every day. They go home depressed, feeling powerless and impotent.
Fight back...or leave. If you're not fighting back, you're part of the problem.

HA! You know nothing of me.. Your nothing in comparison.. I am 27 years old, and if i were to die tomorrow i would die a happy man, knowing i spent the better part of my life FIGHTING and PROTESTING for REAL change..
Stealing only makes you a thief.. Enough said.
I had a great Job, Chose my own hours.. I lived in a apartment complex that cost me 1,600 a month just to rent.. And i gave it all up.. ALL OF IT..
As i became more and more disgusted with the system.. watching my fellow brothers, and sisters deal with poverty.. I quit my job lost the apartment, And gave up most of what i knew as "normal" to give back to my community..

I'm not picking a fight.. You asked our advice "Stealing From Work and Corporations...Good or Bad?".. And we gave it.. Sorry you don't like our option's..
If you want a personal answer from me.. I suppose it's because if you are trying to fight corporate America.. You are going about it in the COMPLETE wrong way..
My advice.. hunt down your local activists.. get involved in a movement for change.. Don't assume stealing is going to help anything.. Because we all know it won't..
It just degrades you to there level..
EDIT TO ADD: Be the change you seek, Don't add to the problem..edit on 10-5-2011 by TechVampyre because: (no reason given)
Ha! Corporate spies who infiltrate and turn in fellow employees. Ha! I'm not surpised one bit.
If you still work there, why? What were they stealing? Paperclips? Corporate documents?

Yeah I've done activism. Like I said, it just creates divisions and funnels you right back into the hands of the media and politicians. If activism is negatively portrayed by the media (which is almost always is) actually does more harm than good to your cause. Stealing isnt the only method of resistance I employ and I thank you for your opinion on it. I really do appreciate it.
Peace.

As a lifelong fighter of the system and sower of discord, I feel a sort of passive agressive satisfaction when I steal from work. Its a way to be a wolf in sheeps clothing, smiling and nodding while secretly undermining the system that enslaves us all (CEOs to janitors, we all work to eat).

I have a nibble because its getting thrown. I have a nibble because sometimes they make me work 5hrs without a break.

Why not take the cakes at the end of your shift and give them to a shelter? or even just take a half hour out of your day and hand them out to those less fortunate than others..
Act's of kindness, and goodwill seek no collateral.. And earn you respect as a person..
EDIT TO ADD: There is a fine line between being a thief, or being a general good person.. Your situation could be a bit different from the op's..
