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.
I’ve gone through psych evals in corporate hiring that ask a bunch of bullshit “would you steal a penny to feed a starving orphan” questions, intended to weed out anyone with an ounce of conscience.
They mostly just teach you to lie to your boss
Jesus Christ. Should’ve followed it up with the question, “why is the company purposely withholding a penny when it could be used to feed a starving orphan?”
It’s like with overly strict parents; the only thing they are teaching their kids is how to lie and sneak around
they want brownosers, in case the higher ups get caught with something unethical, they want lies to protect them.
