Ford fired a $200,000 Kentucky worker over a $1.95 cookie, then found he had paid
A Kentucky factory worker who says Ford fired him after allegedly stealing a $1.95 cookie that he actually paid for has gone viral.

The Electric Viking (@electricviking) covered the widely reported move that has sparked widespread backlash, putting the automaker's corporate culture under heavy scrutiny.

What happened?
Kurt Kromm, 60, says Ford dismissed him after accusing him of not paying for a chocolate chip cookie at a factory snack kiosk. As reported by The Electric Viking, CarScoops, and other media outlets, Kromm worked at the Ford factory in Louisville, which manufactures the Super Duty, the Expedition, and the Lincoln Navigator models and earned $25 billion in revenue in 2023.

It's no wonder cars are so expensive now-a-days... $200k as a factory worker in Kentucky? Where do I sign up...
All those dues paid to the union were for nothing... They didn't stand to defend this man. They actually urged him to apologize for stealing.
