Most policy is written to say that so-and-so MAY lead to termination, not that it SHALL require termination.

    Yep that is my complaint. I understand the policy and understand he would be reprimanded. But in this case termination was way beyond what should have happened. Looking at all the online chatter I'm sure Academy wishes they had handled it different. Heck the manager that was fired still wants to go back to work for Academy.

      As a 20+year employee of Home Depot, I can tell you that thieves have gotten more and more brazen. We put things like generators in the overhead to prevent grab-and-go thefts. But it's hard to secure everything when so many are inclined to steal. Remember, that many of these folks are addicts and not stable individuals. Sales associates are not armed, trained or ex-Marines, for the most part, so policy needs to protect people over merchandise, while trying to safeguard the product as well as possible.

            Lawsuits go both ways. We live in a frivolous world.

                Glad to see the correction from the top in this case.
