Has anyone had someone on their team fired due to time theft? Like using bereavement after a year/ abusing volunteer time?

With all the forced ratings and punishing people like this why are there no class action lawsuits from employees?
So my eccentric and decedent (2025) mother, GRHS, wanted her ashes dropped from a Sopwith Camel onto the Bay of Bengal on a certain rare planetary conjunction in 2027. I can take bereavement right?
Not to be a sn-t, but you should just worry about yourself and life becomes a lot more enjoyable when you're not worry about everyone else. There are limits though like when someone else's scheme impacts your own life/work.
@a9 it all rests on your manager. Hopefully, people don't take advantage and make that a widespread problem because they'll shut that down too. Or create a bunch of rules.
No, hard to prove people abused.
Most of the corporate side committed time theft for years without repercussion so its doubtful they'd suddenly go back in time to get someone for theft when they let the coffee badgers, who blatantly stole from the company, off scot free. Going forward however you may wanna be more careful about all that totally legitimate volunteering I'm sure is actually happening. Would be an open/shut case for fraud if someone did decide to follow up.
I've taken volunteer time. What surprised me is that there was no checking. I even asked for a note from the place where I volunteered just to be sure. Nope, no one asked for anything.
Either way, the volunteer time and the volunteer dollars one can earn are an awesome benefit. I've earned dollars and then contributed them to several deserving organizations and it felt really good. One of the few things at Wells Fargo that I feel is an awesome program.
Sounds like a case of nunya
Brown or a woman and on PTO? Not on OP's watch!
as a former manager there, yes.
