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.
It’s worse without unions, but setting expectations beyond capacity and pointing a camera at points of failure is key to a good turnover rate.
If you’re looking at 300-400% turnover then you don’t really end up with that sort of issue in the first place.
