Reporting the loss of snacks was not the only choice you had, and it did result in your colleague losing his job and making his life significantly worse. You could have left a note for the night staff letting them know you’d set aside something in particular for them, since their regular overnight meal clearly isn’t enough. Alternatively, you could have banded together with your fellow teachers and set up a community “fridge” where anyone could leave food and anyone could take it as needed, or pushed the school administration to do so officially.

You could have purchased an inexpensive portable safe, or a cheap bike lock to shut your desk drawer with overnight.

Let’s then consider the other options you had available to you, bearing in mind that you, your students, and all of your co-workers-faculty and staff alike-have been forced into very difficult situations: You could have taken the snacks home with you in your bag at the end of the day, which might have been inconvenient but not impossible. Yes, it’s frustrating and often expensive to lose food at work, but remember the circumstances-a night janitor at a school where many of the students are going hungry likely has limited options. The fact that your colleagues were also concerned about food going missing does not necessarily mean that you made the right choice. You say the administration installed cameras and fired the man “unbeknownst to ,” but you could reasonably have anticipated that reporting would lead to such a consequence, so I think it’s important to acknowledge your direct, intentional role in this man’s firing. Your former colleague was already struggling with hunger (or supporting a hungry relative) while working now he’s got joblessness on top of that to contend with. People who steal food usually need food very badly, and while you’re not personally responsible for the collective social failure that’s led to so many of your students’ and colleagues’ food insecurity, I do think it’s important to “tolerate” food theft inasmuch as it seems to me an act of desperation that requires additional support, not punishment, and certainly not unemployment. Clients or staff who are feeling ill, or have a family member who is showing symptoms will be asked to reschedule or stay home.It’s safe to assume that the overnight custodial staff continued to take food from your classroom for the same reason your students do-because they or someone in their family needed it, and the single meal provided by the school was insufficient to meet their needs.Nail stations and front desk will have plexiglass barriers installed.Staff will take lunch breaks in designated areas.
