Why do you think this is a process problem? How much should the process prevent willful lying, cheating, and stealing by process users?

Is periodically firing employees not part of the process too?

If these people are habitually and willfully lying and stealing from the company for $20, what could that mean for the rest of their work and interactions.

Several thousand dollars of stolen meals is a bargain to identify these individuals and get them out of the company. Who knows what else they are stealing and lying about. opportunities about

Because if the employees were using some kind of non-monetary compensation that was allowed to be accepted in an uncontrolled manner that's a process problem. When they swiped their decoder ring or what the fuck ever it should have errored out.

Prove it beyond a reasonable doubt and i'll listen.

Firing the employees is a feature, not a bug.

24/70,000 employees seemed to have a problem with theft. The process worked for 99.97% of employees who weren't thieves abusing the system.

Not even the fired employees are contesting what they did. They are just saying they didnt think it was a big deal
