Doesn’t matter what the statistics say, I can only speak for myself. I couldn’t work under a cloud of suspicion and distrust.
That may be an exaggeration, but definitely need a proper policy in place. You are probably quite privileged, but there are people who will be willing to go out of their way for that extra $10.
If they get paid for that 45 minutes, why not? The problem right now is they don’t get paid for that time.
I think many people feel as you do. I’m just saying that these kinds of things is the price we pay as a society for the deeds of a small number of bad actors. I just accept it rather than take it personally.
I find it a little disconcerting that we, as a society, have “normalised” treating people with suspicion and distrust. We've forgotten little things like "benefit of the doubt", and "innocent until proven guilty".
That's a good point with Disney and TSA. Whether it's security at the airport or bag checks at Disney, a concert, or sporting event...you are considered a potential threat until the screening determines you aren't. No one bats an eye at that.
That's just not realistic. I doubt most people who haven't worked in retail management will appreciate the scale of staff pilferage across the industry. Large retail organisations even factor it into their accounts and accept a degree of it as the cost of doing business. But there are limits.
That's quite cute. It had me wide eyed by the time you got as far as "own mobile phone".
I wouldn't say it's a lack of common sense as such. It's a company playing extreme hardball. Pushing employee goodwill right to breaking point. They've worked out what the possibilities are from day one.
Yep, it seems they stopped this abhorrent practice about 7 years ago so why did they continue to fight this case? Why not be honourable and moral and withdraw? Because it is Apple. So sad what it is these days. I somewhat forgive or overlook sleazy transgressions from certain other firms because they don't loudly snd publicly claim to be fair, out to protect the vulnerable, privacy driven, interested in democracy etc. etc. like Apple does. That is the big issue. They preach so much and then do the opposite. That can not be easily overlooked.
Ah yes, the old fallen-from-grace bit. So when and how exactly was Apple once great in this specific way? Restrict your answer to employee pay. I’ll keep an eager eye out for your answer.
