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.
The cost of hiring and training a new employee is something a company of that size should know, and it’s definitely more than the cost of a $2 cookie.
Most companies i have worked in have just decited in a meeting a number for how much they think new hire costs.
That number rarely is even close the real number.
