What would you do if you found a co-worker stealing from the company?

"My reaction to employee theft would differ if I were a retail associate or manager. If I were a manager and caught an employee stealing, I would terminate them immediately. If I were an associate, I would report the incident according to company protocol. I would avoid approaching the employee as I would not want to make it a personal issue."

"During the first week I worked in retail, one of my coworkers was caught stealing cash from the register. It was a little family-run shop, so I was even more horrified that my coworker would steal from them. The employee was fired immediately, and the rest of the team members were informed during our next shifts. I would never betray my employers' confidence like that. I would notify my manager immediately if I suspected or witnessed a coworker stealing. That behavior is unacceptable, no matter where you work."
