Heroic IT Dept Less Likely to Steal... Lunches?
An anonymous reader writes "According to an article in the Houston Chronicle concerning lunch theft, people from IT are least likely to steal lunches because they are a "hero department." The most likely? Accounting and Customer-Support... "
This article... it's pretty useless.
So are you saying the more you make, the more likely you are to steal something like a laptop or a phone because to your income it really isn't that big of a deal?
I guess in a way that makes sense b/c to someone making 30 million a year a 2000 dollar laptop is equivalent to the mints at the counter of the chinese food restuarunt.
Current job, 3.000 EUR of computer gear and software gets delivered and stored right behind my desk. I leave the city tomorrow and the country on Tuesday and I know at least 3 shops + ebay that won't ask questions. I didn't even fondle the packaging.
I think your wording of that last sentence is a little confusing in this context, at least possibly for some USA English speakers. If someone doesn't entirely understand the meaning of that last sentence, it seems like you will be stealing all that stuff. I think you mean that while it would be laughably easy to do so, you will not be taking the stuff, and have in fact not even gone digging through the gear to see what is in there in more detail. Correct?
Qualitas edurus commercium, nullus penitus net rimor, nullus deus beneficium
feeling guilty? this is quite the rationalization for theft.
very few people admit, "i'm evil, therefore i do evil things."
rather, they feel they are good and find ways to justify their evil deeds.
i think it is clear that unethical, manipulative and sociopathic people have advantages climbing the typical corporate ladder.
