A Ford employee says he lost his job after being accused of stealing a $1.95 cookie, only for the company to later realize he’d actually paid for it.

60-year-old Kurt Kromm had worked at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant for 11 years, but told Shifting Gears he was fired after the company believed security footage showed him taking a cookie from the break room without paying.

But the executives can get away with making decisions that kill innocent people to save a few bucks.

    Making short-sighted decisions that fails, lays off 8,000 employees, gets a govt bail out, flies home on the corporate jets, uses the bailout money to give a huge bonus and buy a new corporate jet
