Ford fired a $200,000-a-year employee over a $1.95 cookie he paid for.
Kurt Kromm, 11 years at the Kentucky Truck Plant, felt his blood sugar drop at 3:30 a.m. He's diabetic. The kiosk flashed red on his card, so he paid at the second machine, ate the cookie, went back to building trucks.
A week later security walked him out. Wouldn't even let him take his tools.
Then he pulled up his bank statement. The $1.95 charge was sitting right there. Ford checked with the kiosk company, confirmed he paid, cut him $28,000 in back pay, and begged him to come back.
He said no. Took a job closer to home with a raise.
So the final scorecard: Ford spent $28,000, lost an 11-year veteran, and took a national PR beating to recover a cookie that was never stolen. The cookie cost $1.95. Firing the guy who bought it cost 14,000 cookies.
@TheBHentel loll why was i making the same face as her. watching that. when she turned around all i could do is laugh because i felt the same level of disgust as her and i wasn’t even the one kissing that thing 🤣
@CherieBeneteau they take so much from us while the rich gets richer. I do okay but I want to do better. I live a good life on my net pay but I could live a great life on my gross😭
I’m thinking about stopping my insurances too because they never want to cover anything I genuinely need.
@onlydubsX why do women keep going around him??? I only ever see this man doing weird stuff like this when I’m scrolling on social media so i know they know about him.
he should be locked up or put down but in the meantime i will victim blame any woman who is assaulted by him.
@TheEXECUTlONER_ there hasn’t been a job I’ve worked where we give a customer clear instructions or information about something and they didn’t return clueless as to why whatever penalty or inconvenience occurred as a result of them either not paying attention or walking away not understanding
@TaraBull what happened to good ol fashioned tattling? If you feel like someone is doing something wrong it is not up to you to enforce the rules. you should locate the closet employee or security and inform them of the situation as quickly as possible.
@ChURchVanDrawls@PoliceThePolic1 did we watch the same video because he did show his license registration and was getting his insurance. Even though they didn’t have a legit reason to conduct the traffic stop.
do you disagree that he should be able to exercise his rights?
@mattvanswol@Omowale99949437 sigh. they think this makes it better
if anything that’s worse because they have strong disdain for Black people and take pride in their proximity to whiteness it’s really the same as an all white jury the only upside is they can claim diversity
@basbugsy@cartisburner__ i wish this didn’t crack me up how it did but ive decided not to even feel bad for this type of situation because when you’re “not that type” you know what type of men not to be around. I would never be in a man like that dms. idc how rich or how famous.
