“In an effort to discourage stealing, Amazon has put up flatscreen TVs that display examples of alleged on-the-job theft, say 11 of the company’s current and former warehouse workers and antitheft staff. The alleged offenders aren’t identified by name. Each is represented by a black silhouette stamped with the word “terminated” and accompanied by details such as when they stole, what they stole, how much it was worth, and how they got caught—changing an outbound package’s address, for example, or stuffing merchandise in their socks. Some of the silhouettes are marked “arrested.””
Sounds horrible, and pretty creepy. If I had to work in a place where bosses just assumed I was a thief, I'd constantly be looking for another job.
Of course, I used to work in corporate retail, and it sounds like the kind of attitude toward workers that exists in a lot of those kinds of environments.
