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.
Why are employees expected to pay for cookies in the break room?
Oh right, capitalism. Human decency be damned.
Under socialism, employers must supply free cookies in breakrooms.
My employer offers free fruits in breakrooms. Life safers when you have low bloodsugar.
That coupled with other benefits like free gym, company paying half of any bicycle i buy and discounts with local massagers have made me healthier and i have turned down an job offer from better paying job because they had worse benefits.

Where do you work?
Historically every job provided all workers a meal, often two if it was a long day. This didn’t stop being the norm until clocks and factories became common.
It’s also a win-win for the company. Happy, well-fed workers work better, and hang around longer.
And you can ensure that they’re at least eating one healthy meal which can increase their focus and stamina
Technically yes. The employees own the company, and part of the company expenses, it’s make sure the break room have free cookies.
They just steal your paycheck instead lol
Cause capitalists arent interested in taking your tax money to enrich themselves either.
