NBR - Office vultures on the prowl...

An attorney in my office had her last day of work yesterday.  The office she occupied is currently empty, but another attorney is moving in next week or the week after.

For the last two hours, there has been a slow trickle of people going into her office, scrounging for office supplies, and walking out.  It's pretty funny because each new person looks like they're expecting to make this great find, like a chair or a computer monitor, but end up walking out with a huge handful of big binder clips or packs of post-its. 

Cracks me up.

We used to call that squirreling at my old office.  People always looked like squirrels looking to score a good nut!

Oh man...at my old office it was all about nabbing someone's jumbo flatscreen monitor as soon as they left.  too funny

My group at work got hit with layoff's pretty hard a few days before I returned from maternity leave.  You would not believe how quickly people were grabbing the supplies from offices of those that had left.  We had to put all of the equipment into a locking office to prevent the good stuff from being taken (monitors, nice keyboards, laptops, etc.).  People are ruthless!
