Your views on people who steal from their workplace or boss?

[froggyboy604]

I think it is not a good idea to steal from work since it can get you fired and your ripping off your boss. Plus, you also lose a reference for your resume when applying for a new job.

However, some people steal from work like using their office printer for printing up non-work related documents like bank statements, electric bills, or resumes for applying for other jobs, and stealing office supplies like pencils, pens, post-it notes, staplers, and bringing it home to use.

I also heard of people using Software which their boss bought like Windows XP, Vista, and MS Office for their home PC which their company bought for company use only.

The bottom two seem ok, the top one isn't though.

91% of store theft is done by employees.

I know of some people who are employed at stores who hides merchandise which is on sale, so the customers can't buy sale items, and they buy the item on sale when they get off work, and they use their employee discount, so they pay even less then the sale price for the item, and the store earns less selling products on sale to employees.

I also seen some employees who eat junk food which they grab from the counter or soda stand.

I also experience cashiers which tried to over charge me double the amount of money for products I was paying for. I also heard of cashiers which gave back less change then expected.

Lol, unfortunately, this happens a lot more than you think. Of course, some employers are kind enough not to mention it on your file.

Then you end up on a slippery slope, with things getting more and more acceptable as time goes by.

What's even worse is when the cashier hits "cash back" and pockets the money without telling you.

Heads would roll if that happened to me. Heads would roll.

Most stores the cashier can't do that. The cash back button is on the customer side of the register, so it would have to be someone really stupid and unaware to have that happen.

That'd get you a serious theft type sentence if caught, wouldn't it?

It depends how much, I suppose. Now I think about it, no-one ever asks for £100 cash back, never mind anything more. 😛

Can I have 40 bucks please? It's clearly not worth much to you. :lol:

He isn't saying that it doesn't mean anything, he's just saying it's doubtful that it would be investigated.

Forty bucks may be the difference between being able to eat one week for my family, but to a big company like Wal-Mart, $40 isn't really a significant figure.

If they hit the cash back button, you lose 40 bucks, not wal-mart.

If you get caught stealing from your employer, it should be the employer's choice whether or not to fire you.
