It can be as minor as taking pens to as major as budgeting an entire chunk of the company to fund a private island. Whatever the case may be, it's Stealing from the Till — committing some form of theft on resources, money, or items that the thief's workplace uses. How acceptable the crime is perceived as depends on narrative focus and the relative scale of the theft. If you work at a soul-sucking job with awful pay, then it's "okay" to take money out of petty cash to help cover the bills, but your boss wiring money to an off-shore account is not. If you take supplies rather than cash, that's even less frowned upon, because the company was expecting it to be used, right (a similar logic applies to Stealing from the Hotel)? Large-scale schemes to defraud people are almost always seen as a worse crime than other kinds of theft, not just because of the number of people ripped off, but because of the breach in trust. The legal term for this sort of behavior is embezzlement. It's such an ugly word, though. A subtrope of White-Collar Crime and Inside Job. Compare Company Credit Card Abuse, Stealing from the Hotel, The Help Helping Themselves, Hoarding the Profits, and Fake Charity. Not to be confused with stealing something from Till Lindemann. |

House of the Rising Sunflower: The rent from the Academy's retreat is paid directly to Sundance rather than the barony. His predecessor used this to outright steal from the barony; Sundance, by contrast, is carefully managing it so that the barony has some income that can be used for development, rather than automatically shuttled towards paying the previous lord's debts. The Royal Brood advise him to keep very good books. | |

In early episodes of Better Off Ted, Linda takes petty revenge on the company by taking absurd amounts of creamer packets from the office kitchen. She stops when Ted becomes worried that she will get into trouble, but is later seen repeatedly triggering an automatic paper towel dispenser, rolling out yards of paper towel out of spite for its only dispensing a couple inches at a time. | |

On Suits, the official story is that Danial Hardman resigned as Managing Partner and went on an indefinite leave of absence so he would have time to care for his dying wife. The real story is that he embezzled money from clients' accounts — already an extreme violation of attorney ethics (seriously, do it once, with an amount however small, and you're supposed to be disbarred) — and then, compounding the violation, tried to frame Louis for it. Some of the money went to pay for his wife's treatments, but most of it was spent to fund his affair with one of the junior associates. When he tries to gain back control of the law firm, he leaks information that causes the firm to be sued, thus costing the partners millions. The kicker is that he was the one originally responsible for the serious ethical misconduct that caused the lawsuit. | |

The Simpsons: In "Marge Vs. The Monorail", Lyle Lanley is ultimately revealed to have kept most of the money the citizens of Springfield entrusted him to build a monorail with, thus endangering its citizens when they go on the monorail's maiden voyage. Homer in "The Last Temptation of Homer": "Another day, another box of stolen pens." In "Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment", when Mr. Burns shows up Homer asks Bart to hide everything the former borrow... er, stole from work, up to a computer. In "Brother from Another Series", Sideshow Bob's brother Cecil pulled a stunt similar to Lanley when hired to build a hydroelectric dam, but instead of fleeing town he planned to blow the dam up and pin the blame on Bob. In "I Am Furious (Yellow)", when the company making Bart's Angry Dad web animation goes bust, they explain "Bart, it's not about how many stocks you have, it's about how much copper wire you can get out of the building with!" In "How I Wet Your Mother", Homer finds the office supply depot door open, and everyone in the plant proceeds to loot it empty. By the time Burns notices, everyone's trying to make off with everything they could grab, from a photocopier to the taxidermied bear in Burns' office. In "Elementary School Musical", after running away from home to find Kurt and Ethan, a pair of hipster art camp counselors who have inspired her, Lisa is shocked to find that they're actually a pair of Starving Artists who have to resort to stealing food from the Subway expy they work at in order to survive. |

Chocoholic Mysteries: This is what the villains of Cat Caper were ultimately up to, embezzling from the murder victim (who only caught on when her credit card was rejected because they'd spent too much from it) whom one of them worked for as a secretary, handling all her bills and such. The villain of Book Bandit was doing this too. As treasurer for several community organizations, she stole funds from them and funneled it into her husband's failing business. He, it turns out, is completely innocent in the matter, having had no idea what his wife was up to. |

Hannah Swensen: As revealed in Cream Puff Murder, this got Ronni Ward fired from one of her previous jobs — she was a cocktail waitress at a bar, where she totaled her customers' bar tabs early, took their credit cards and rang them up. Then, when they'd order another round, she'd ask them to pay in cash and pocketed it. When the owner complained to the bartender about his coming up short, the bartender started keeping a closer eye on the cocktail waitresses and caught her in the act. | |

On Mad Men, Lane Pryce forges Don's signature on a company check. He insists that it is just a "13-day loan" that he will repay once the Christmas bonuses are given out. Then the bonuses are postponed till January. Then the bonuses are canceled altogether and he has no way of returning the money. He kills himself shortly after being found out by Don. What makes this doubly tragic is that Don would have gladly authorized the loan if he had simply asked him. The only reason he didn't was out of pride. | |

Most of the plot of Office Space revolves around a trio of friends who attempt to do this to the company that screwed them over. They plan to siphon off the fractions of a cent left over from various electronic transactions, which is too small to be noticed but over years will amount to a huge payday. Unfortunately they make an error in their coding and wind up with over $300,000 in just a few days, which instantly sends the corporation into panic. Milton, who is unconnected to this plot, coincidentally burns down the building that night, which shuts down the company and destroys all the evidence. The three conspirators are happy to just not have this hanging over their heads, and Milton escapes with the money to a tropical island. | |

For Better or for Worse: One story arc involved April learning that Kortney was stealing from the till at her mother Elly's store. When she attempted to warn Elly about this, Kortney manipulated Elly into firing April instead by Playing the Victim Card. Elly eventually learned the truth when one of her coworkers confronted her with evidence of the ongoing thefts, but never apologized to April; instead, she fretted about not wanting to "be the bad guy" by firing Kortney, forcing her coworker to do so instead. | |

Married... with Children: Al Bundy was known to pocket the money customers gave him on the extremely rare occasions he sold a shoe. Peggy played it straight at least once. Being more specific, she got a job as a door-to-door cosmetics saleswoman and purchased a bunch of cosmetics for herself, completely ignorant of how commissions work. Al was not only gleeful to explain to her that detail, but forced her to work at the shoe store to get the money to pay the company. |

Discworld: Discussed and averted in Unseen Academicals, Lord Vetinari (while a little tipsy) says that, However, Drumknott later feels the need to set the record straight: However, played straight in other Discworld books with Nobby of the Watch. It's said that if you need petty cash in the Watch, you go and shake Nobby until he gives it back. In Making Money, when Moist von Lipwig learns that the City Watch also serve as bank security, he reflects that the money might be safe, but the coffee and pens almost certainly aren't. Feet of Clay features a palace maid who takes home food and candles, and is quite clear that this isn't stealing, it's perks. Commander Vimes agrees with her. |

Spy X Family has Loid and Franky go on a sub-mission alongside the main Strix mission, where they have to bust a smuggling ring and take back a load of stolen jewellery. Franky is hesitant to do so until Loid suggests that a few small pieces could go "missing" in the process. Loid pockets a diamond ring intended for his fake marriage with Yor but loses it in an ensuing gunfight alongside her, so he opts for a grenade pin ring. | |

Retail: Pops up occasionally, mostly in dialogue that indicates the person that Grumbel's is considering hiring would do that...which causes Grumbel's to not hire them. During the South Heights liquidation arc Cooper decides to fire an employee because she's been stealing from the till, and gets advice from Marla on how to do so without outright accusing her of such (cause that could lead to a lawsuit). Marla tells him to fire her not for stealing, but incompetence. Stuart (who has never trusted Cooper) is appalled that Cooper took action without consulting him, and then laughed at him when he found out Cooper consulted Marla because he knew Cooper didn't do it right on his own. (The thief's reaction to being fired was 'whateva'. Should be noted this was at a store that was closing anyway.) |

In Banco, Papillon can't resist a little criminal action even while doing honest work. He winds up running the executive's kitchen for an American oil firm and he embezzles from his department's budget. The high-quality food eventually gets the executives to bring their wives along for meals, which only helps Papillon skim more money with less risk — he's already breaking the rules by feeding extra mouths and nobody is paying attention to the extra expenses. | |

Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold: The framing story in the Borders of Infinity Fix Up Novel involves an alleged peculation plot by Miles Vorkosigan for several million Imperial Marks. Two of the three component stories explain the rather large cost overruns his missions incurred that form the basis of the accusation. (The third story is about why Miles would never steal from the Imperium.) Captain Vorpatril's Alliance begins with looking for a ring stealing military equipment. |

In Dragon Age: Origins, Arl Rendon Howe is helping himself to silver from the royal treasury, seemingly uncaring of the fact that Ferelden's army is desperately underfunded and trying to fight a Civil War with their own people, one triggered primarily by his and Loghain's brutality and incompetence, while simultaneously trying to fight off the darkspawn horde moving up from the south. One of the Warden's side missions involves swiping said silver from a warehouse in Denerim before Howe can ship it to his private estate. | |

While it's usually not portrayed as a bad thing when he does it, Batman spends a lot of the Wayne Enterprises budget on weird bat-themed gadgets, and sometimes a space station. While Wayne Enterprises is referred to as "his" company, it's also generally portrayed with a board, occasionally at risk of a takeover, and other things that suggest that like most large companies it's a publicly traded corporation, or at least has multiple shareholders, and Bruce Wayne is simply the majority shareholder. Consequently Batman has embezzled, or caused Lucius Fox to embezzle on his behalf, millions of dollars. | |

Better Call Saul: Jimmy's childhood Start of Darkness was working at his father's general store and watching his father get duped by an obvious conman. The conman tells Jimmy that there are two people in the world: wolves and sheep. An angry and disenchanted Jimmy apparently resolves to be a wolf and helps himself to cash from his father's register. Many years later, Jimmy's brother recalls their father going out of business, with thousands of dollars having gone missing over the years. (It's later acknowledged, though, that Jimmy didn't steal as much as Chuck thought; his father was a major victim of con-artists over the years.) Jimmy is guilty of more petty thievery while working at Davis and Main. As well as a water bottle he leaves the firm with an awful lot of Davis and Main-branded pens, which he has no shame in displaying in a Davis and Main-branded mug in his office. Craig and Betsy Kettleman conspired to embezzle $1.6 million from the County Treasury while Craig was working there. When they later start their own tax rebate business they're found to be giving clients smaller rebates than expected, pocketing the difference for themselves. They justify their theft by telling themselves they work hard and are entitled to reward themselves. Daniel "Pryce" Wormald steals medication from the pharmaceutical firm where he works and sells it for profit. |

The Cat in the Stacks Mysteries: The villains in book 7 were embezzling from the library budget for over a decade using a phony e-book company, which they themselves had set up and then got a subscription to it for the library, allowing the college access to the e-books it provided. Except all the items were permanently checked out, and the money supposedly going to the company went straight into the villains' pocket. When the library director tried to cancel the subscription in order to reduce the library's spending, the villains killed him and faked his resignation; when his successor figured out what was going on and tried to blackmail the villains, he was killed; and a witness who tried to continue the blackmail was also killed. | |

Averted in Pharaoh. Building a mansion allows you to give yourself a salary from the city's funds every month, which is then stored away to be used at a later date (to boost your kingdom rating via expensive gifts to other nobles or to give back to the city in times of debt), even in later missions. However, the game explicitly tells you that siphoning money directly from the city's coffers to your own is embezzlement (even if you're literally making more money than you know what to do with). ...And That Would Be Wrong. | |

In Malcolm in the Middle, Reese gets a job at a fast food restaurant where his supervisor is Richie, one of Francis' lowlife friends. Richie encourages Reese to perform "pocket transactions" (putting the money in his pocket instead of the cash register), but Reese uncharacteristically can not bring himself to actually do it, only pretending to pocket the cash to get along with Richie. When $400 is missing from Reese's drawer at the end of his shift Richie says this is too much from him to ignore, but Reese denies doing it and confesses he never even did the original "pocket transaction". Later, Malcolm deduces instantly that Richie is the real thief and is trying to frame Reese because it's Richie. | |

Freeman's Mind is a machinima of someone playing through Half-Life while narrating Gordon's thoughts. He fantasizes about looting office supplies throughout the earlier episodes. First, when he assumes he's going to be fired and wonders about how much he can sneak out with him, and then later, after the Resonance Cascade but before he realizes the damage goes beyond just Black Mesa. This gets dropped once the full scale of the disaster becomes clear. | |

The Bible notes this of Judas in John 12:6 when he is among those to complain when Mary Magdalene anoints Jesus: There's also the Parable of the Dishonest Manager, who faced unemployment because he wasted his master's funds. So he cleverly marked down a few of his master's creditors' bills (possibly making up the difference out of his own commission, so he may not have been committing new embezzlement), ingratiating himself with the potential new employers. Moral: If even crooks are wise enough to use their money to do good for people, you should too! Tax collectors in Roman-occupied territories were notorious for claiming more payment than their managers demanded and pocketing the difference, which was part of the reason why tax collectors were so hated by the Jews at the time. |

The whole reason Father Ted "That Money Was Just Resting in My Account" Crilly works at Craggy Island parish. The dots aren't entirely connected, but it appears that at some point in the past he took money intended for a sick child's pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes and spent it on a trip to Las Vegas. At the end of season 2, the charges are expunged, but the season 3 debut starts with an accountant looking into his expenses at his new mainland parish, and before you know it, he's back on Craggy Island. | |

In Bequeathed from Pale Estates, the Westerlands' Miner's Guild features the Winter Fund, a crowdfunding protocol in which every member, highborn or lowborn, donates a small part of their earnings to prepare for purchases to be made on long and hard winters, buying lumber and furs from the North and food from the Reach and Essos. The fact Tywin hasn't called up the Guild to begin arrangements on the disbursement of the Fund in the face of the looming winter worries everybody in the Westerlands. This is because Tywin's been skimming off the fund to pay for Cersei's extravagant lifestyle and to prop up Robert's failing reign. He's fully aware of the sheer folly of what he's doing, especially as not only per ancient treaty is the Guild legally allowed to execute him for daring to touch the Fund, the Guild represents the core of his army. He resorts to having Gregor Clegane murder the Master of Coin - one of his own bannermen - to make sure his fortune will be inherited by one of his cousins, allowing him to replenish the funds he stole. | |

She herself is not a suspect, as she was only recently appointed to the job, but she and Luke have to figure out a cover to avoid the board discovering that two of their former CEOS were Batman and Batwoman, respectively. In the end, Luke forges some documents to "prove" that Bruce Wayne had a top-secret deal with A.R.G.U.S. | |

The title character in Alfie is quite proud of the fact that he has a "fiddle" on the go with the company that employs him as a chauffeur, and even claims that this makes his work more interesting for him. His supervisor is actually aware that he's helping himself to the company's fuel and money, but rather than discipline him he warns him not to be too greedy, in addition to pointing out that Alfie's relatively cheerful demeanour at work makes it all too obvious that he's up to something nefarious. | |

Catalyst Games Lab — producers of Shadowrun, CthulhuTech, and BattleTech, among other things — went into deep financial trouble in May 2010 from flagrant embezzlement and shadiness by the CEO. The story gets murky as to who stole the money and whether the CEO was trying to cover for a close friend who actually embezzled the funds or up to his neck in it himself. It's been alleged that something very similar happened with West End Games. According to the story, the owner used West End as a slush fund to support his other business, bankrupting the company. The same thing happened to Decipher, coincidentally another 1990s Star Wars licensee. Both companies' problems may or may not have contributed to Wizards of the Coast getting both sets of licenses (the RPG and the card game, respectively). |

Asterix in Helvetia: Gaul's governor has been skimming off the taxes the province sends to Rome. To illustrate the depths of his embezzling, when the taxmaster arrives, the governor gives him a lapful of gold, chucks most of the money in his private coffer, and throws a couple of coins into a small moneybox for Rome. This is what forces Rome to send an inquisitor to check the accounts, so the governor proceeds to poison the inquisitor. The poisoned man manages to call for Getafix, who sends Asterix and Obelix to Helvetia to collect an edelweiss for the antidote. It turns out Helvetia's governor is just as corrupt as Gaul's. | |

Midsomer Murders: In "Happy Families", one suspect is the Victim of the Week's Beleaguered Assistant, who has been commuting fraud by charging extravagant purchases to his boss's corporate credit card, knowing that his boss never checks the statements. However, an insurance company check about why a purchased item was not showing up on the policy threatens to expose him, thereby giving him a motive for murder. In "Book of the Dead", The Vicar Rev. Sebastian Butts has been embezzling money from hutch funds to pay for his mother's obsessive search for the treasure. |

Amphibia: In "Toad Tax", The reason the toads haven't gotten their taxes is because Mayor Toadstool hoarded it all and hid it away inside his statue in the town square. Though the Toad Tower collectors take things to make up for supposedly unpaid taxes, they're not above taking some of it for themselves. | |

In Cute Knight, working as a cashier in the local shop would at some point trigger an event that gives the player an option to steal from the till. Not only does this raise her sin level, they may get caught. If so, the shop owner would not only stop working with her, but also charge her more for merchandise. | |

Breaking Bad: Walter initially makes meth by stealing chemicals and lab equipment from the high school where he works. On a much grander scale, this is what Lydia's job is in Gus and later Walt's organization. She makes chemicals useful in meth production disappear. While Gustavo is careful enough to make sure Madrigal is more than compensated for the "losses," without him, the group just outright steals chemicals. |

This trope is referenced in Friends. Chandler, whilst on the phone to his boss asking him to take his job back, says that "It's a lot less satisfying stealing pens from your own home." | |

The SPECTRE meeting in Thunderball had Number One accuse an underling for stealing from him when the illegal drug trade racket he's in charge of earned less than expected, despite the man's explanation of competition from The Cartel driving prices down. He's nervously sweating like his side operation's just been rumbled and he's about to be fired and fried...until Number One abruptly zaps a different member that was acting nonchalant the whole time. Said underling even looked smug, but Blofeld knew that he was the real thief. Blofeld even uses it to warn the other members to not betray him. Truth in Television as real life criminal gangs have killed members who knowingly stole from the organization. | |

Not Always Working has a few examples. Sometimes, it isn't even the highlight of the story. In one case, the supervisor has the Mundane Solution of explaining that they'd been forced to pay the missing amount out-of-pocket. The thief expected to be stealing from an anonymous corporation, and is visibly horrified that her nice supervisor is the one affected instead. Sibling site Not Always Legal has this scam artist, who gets busted when the customer involved tries to return the item involved and the receipt doesn't match. |
