A Ford employee says he lost his job after being accused of stealing a $1.95 cookie, only for the company to later realize he’d actually paid for it.
60-year-old Kurt Kromm had worked at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant for 11 years, but told Shifting Gears he was fired after the company believed security footage showed him taking a cookie from the break room without paying.
Who puts cookies in the break room and expects you to pay for it.
It’s cookies.
They’re cheap.
Treat your workers.
Treat your colleagues.
Edit: very curious to hear the mindset of the few down voters of this.
Lolz. Public corporations don’t care about your well being. If there is an ROI on any action, it’s worth taking and if that means no cookies because it ensure the shareholders get a fraction of a percent return, then no cookies for you.
I’m working hard to leave my current corpo. They’re down to the “bring the dry pen back to get a new one” stage of bean counting. That’s a sinking ship to disembark from ASAP.
If large company needs to count bullshit like that, they are not in a healthy position.
Craziest shit is that has to cost way more than just buying an extra box of fucking pens
Last two companies I worked for treat their workers to a lot of goodies, like food, after work parties, stuff like that. Not everyone is that stingy. But of course, they only care in order to make workers happy to make more money for the company.
In the end, it’s all about the moolah.
If it ain’t in a vending machine, it should be free.
I have definitely seen vending machines at various office over the years.
