Don’t talk to the ATM, young man, it’s just a machine and there’s nobody inside

Re: Staff don’t care about access to the computers

What's sad was that, even though the RAM sticks were expensive, they were a pittance compared to what the two guys in question were already earning. And so, for a pittance, they threw away a lucrative contract and, since they gained a criminal record, any likelyhood of getting another one.

Many years ago somebody was dismissed from my office for stealing a bag of coffee-whitener while the vending machine flunky was refilling the machine and had his back turned.

The ridiculous thing is they didn't even drink white coffee - they just saw this bag sitting unattended and couldn't resist swiping it. One stupid impulsive act cost them their job.
