      Poor Tesco, because of that missing €20 they only made €2,999,999,980 in profits. How are they supposed to keep the lights on with that sort of pocket money?

      12k is a disgracefully low payout. Judges looking out for the corporations

      He is 61, should have been awarded pay until retirement age. Wouldn’t be surprised if they were just trying you get rid of him.

      What am i missing here, the man accepted that the missing money had been misplaced into his pocket and apologized. Why does Tesco have to pay him. I don’t understand why they needed to search bins or interview anyone else if he seems to have admitted it. If i take money and keep it in my hand for 5 minutes before putting it in my pocket am I allowed to keep it too. I know its fun to stomp on Tesco and all that but im genuinely confused here.

      what a disgusting little world we’ve built for ourselves with petty tyrants adding their ha’pence to their pence and destroying a man’s life over an honest mistake with an amount of money that’s less than a rounding error to that multinational multi-million euro/pound corporation. what was the fucking point of all this? so some sad little authoritarian can stroke his ego that he got the company’s hard earned €20 back off this dangerous thief? this whole story is so fucking pathetic. 

      fuck tesco, fuck that store’s management, fuck “Aisling McDevitt of the Irish Business and Employers’ Confederation” and fuck capitalism

      13 years, not a penny missed, and a mere single instance of 20 being misplaced after 13 years? Very sad.

      An excuse to get rid of someone surely.

      Like I get that people are angry, but when it comes to things like this the realistic thing is that it usually isn’t the first time it happened, it’s just the first time they were caught.

      This case feels really strange to me.

      >He said things were busy at the time and that he had receipts in his hand at the time along with the note, while he was engaged talking to a customer. The correct thing to do was to set the money aside in a cup for a manager to deal with but it had been “so busy” that he forgot, he said.

      I work in retail and I can’t think of any conceivable reason why it would be the correct thing for money to be left in a cup. Cash is either in a till, in the safe, or being transferred between them. It can’t be anywere else.

      What was this guy’s role? What was the scenario and why should a manager have delt with it?

      >”It was a breach of trust and amounted to theft. The facts were not disputed. The complainant had said he was sorry,” the HR officer told the tribunal in evidence.

      So he admitted to stealing it? In which case why did it go to tribunal?

      Regardless, Tesco really seems to have handled the disciplinary process badly. Other employees were not interviewed and bins where the money could have possibly ended up were not searched. The man was also not shown CCTV evidence which he said contradicted Tesco’s version of events.

      In my view, if you steal or ‘misplace’ cash from your workplace without a good reason, then you should be fired no matter how good your service record is. However, Tesco doesn’t seem to have evidence of this, and even if they did, they screwed up the investigation so badly that it should be ruled null and void.
