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.
Exactly. Ford is the company that took “fines for illegal actions as a normal cost of doing business” to the next level. There are others, but they’re pretty much at the top of the list, IMO.
