I would have at least stuffed my lunchbox with as many packs of seeds possible before I clocked out.
What are they gonna do...................fire me?

Yeah, it's not that people got fired, its how it was done.
I couldn't justify stealing, although that attitude among others may have played into the way the company handled the firings.
personally, I keep my side of the street clean in all endeavors.
as DH is fond of saying,
"a clear conscience makes for a soft pillow at night".
As so as companies cannot become as big and evil as Monsanto things like this won't happen. Mother Jones magazine did a story about "what if we acknowledge congress by who sponsored them instead of the state that elected them?". As in the gentleman from Monsanto yields the floor to the gentleman from GE....
It is not that seeds aren't selling like buggy whips. Gardening is up, way up. Power is being concentrated in the hands of the few. We have to decide if that is good for society not just business. Hell, I could make a great business selling drugs to teenagers but is that good for society and should we allow it?
My DH worked for a window company and back in 09 they had to close down some factories. The first one they closed down they gave the people a two week notice. The people destroyed the factory. There was know more two week notices. I feel really bad for these people that lost there jobs but I understand why companies don't give a notice anymore.
Wait. Since when does an employee get notice that he's about to be let go?
At best, that costs the company money because they'll have everyone taking every available sick day before they leave, and stealing everything that's not nailed down. And who's motivated to work when they know they're about to be let go? What gets accomplished in that period of time?
I suppose if the whole location is closing down and everyone is being eliminated I could see letting people know in advance, but they'd have to offer a nice severance package to everyone, to ensure they stay on their best behavior and keep working.
But generally, I've never known a company to give notice before firing.
This is the new reality, folks; IMO, companies don't have the luxury of being "employee-loyal" now. Times are tough.
