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.
Should sue for defamation and damages
Wrongful termination for sure, idk about defamation. I think it’d be hard to argue being accused of stealing a cookie actually hurt your reputation in any meaningful way.
If the employee isn’t ready to retire, being fired for theft of company property is something that will absolutely affect their reputation.
Law suit territory. Time for a comfortable retirement.
I think Kromm should give them a first hand lesson in the riddle of steel…
Kromm is the best God, because he is the worst God.
Other Gods offer power, strength, abilities, riches…
Kromm?
Kromm offers nothing.
Yet if you please Kromm… you will already have all that you need.
Howez man if you’re going to use an Arnie meme in this context then use this:
For modern cars, it’s the riddle of aluminum
Seems like a slam dunk case. What a joke of a company. Hope they fire everyone who thought it was smart to fire this guy. Huge waste
Yeah the fire people committee will get right on firing themselves
Should buy a Komatsu D355A and a mig welder.
Should accept the job offer elsewhere and sue the fuck out of Ford for wrongful termination. It’s the only thing they understand.
lol for what?
The only damages are one week’s pay.
