OT Man fired stealing chocolate from employer

Man fired for taking candy from trash for his kids

Canadian Press
Dec. 20, 2005 10:21 AM

ST-HYACINTHE, Que. - A single father of three fired for taking chocolate
bars from a garbage bin at a Zellers store will get some Christmas cheer
from a charitable organization.

Guy Masse, 47, had planned to give the discarded chocolate to his children,
ages six, nine and 15, for Christmas.

Masse, who was on welfare and had been working at the store only for a
couple of months, was first suspended and then fired.

"I think it's inhuman," Masse told CJAD radio station in Montreal of his dismissal.

Zellers has said Masse should have notified his superviser that he was
taking the chocolate out of the garbage at the St-Hyacinthe store, about
50 kilometres east of Montreal.

Have your Virtual Pet spayed/neutered!!

Since this father of three did his employer no harm, the action by Zellers
seems arbitrary.

Zellers had already decided that it could not sell the stale product and so
put it in the trash.

It is not good to waste things, and it is better to recycle.

It is probable that Zellers paid Mr. Masse minimum wage. No agency protects
him from arbitrary actions by a supervisor. He took the wasted chocolates
to give to his children for Christmas. One might take the view that Zellers
found it is easy to beat up on someone who is powerless.

It will be a bleak Christmas for Guy Masse's six-year-old child, his
nine-year-old and maybe the 15-year-old as well. Welfare is mostly given
over to the landlord, with a bit left for the grocery store. It will be
very hard to find another job following a firing by the previous employer.

Perhaps this chain-store might reverse this inappropriate action if people
didn't shop there until they re-hire Mr. Masse. What's your opinion?
Perhaps a phone call (or letter) to head office?

My thanks to group members for your wise automotive help, and best wishes
for the holidays.

So now stealing is no harm? Neat!

Not if their policy is to fire thieves. Who knows what else he stole
before he got caught?

It's Zellers trash. All the dude had to do is ask.

Probable? So you don't really know.

Sort of like "right to work" here. In other words, they could fire
him for any reason, they just chose the theft.

He _TOOK_. That's the point.

One might take the view that they evenly enforced their work rules.

He should have thought about that before he tried to walk out without
asking, eh?

You're supposing, right? How do you know how much he pays in rent?
Maybe he spends the money on crack.

You mean hard to find a job after stealing, no?

I think they should have filed charges.
[color=blue]

Complementing them on doing the right thing? Sure!

Yes - he stole garbage! He should be shot!

I wish Burnore could just move on, but he can't resist reading my posts.

It doesn't really matter. He stole. He got caught. He got fired. My
bet is that the theft of candy wasn't his first or only offense. Most
likely just the last.

Supposedly.

Unfortunatley, while it is trash, it is either Zellers trash, or the
cities trash, not his trash.

He stole. Crap rules I know, but rules is rules.
I know when I worked for Safeway, similar rules were in place for
"stale" cakes and bread. It would be recorded then trashed and claimed
back as spoilage against insurance.

To get fired he most likley got caught more than once. I don't think any
supervisor or manager is that evil these days to do anyone based on a 1
offence.

Claimed back against insurance? They were pulling your leg. I guarantee
you that Safeway was self insured for millions of bucks. Big companies
don't buy thousand dollar deductible policies.

Many stores give day old bread to soup kitchens. Same with restaurants.

Not THAt kind of insurance. The bread co's give a sort of insurance
on what's not sold. Paying the store some for the trouble. Store has
to certify the stuff wasn't sold/given away.

Where, exactly, did he say anything about deductables?

That, of course, depends on the contract with the supplier.

Are you sure you know all the facts he may have damaged the goods in the
first place just so they would be trashed and being as this sounds like a
store trashing story they wouldn't mention any suspicion of that. also who
do you think would have ended up paying out if this guy's kids got sick from
eating those chocolates.
