Pikk a side: Petsmart fires employee for "theft of service"

Petsmart-favettajpg-ae3e037788f4127a_large

The alleged "theft" occurred during an overnight shift Favetta worked as a favor to his manager.

Favetta brought his dog, Gizmo, to work with him, and the dog stayed in the store’s doggie day care facility — which at the time was not manned by any other employee — while Favetta prepared the store for a special showing to potential business partners.

founder Regardless of whether Petsmart has a case, it is completely ridiculous and petty. 1) It was a one-time occurrence 2) The employee made changes to his schedule to accomodate a corporate initiative 3) Petsmart encourages pet ownership and pet companionship in general, so this seems a bit hypocritical 4) There is no mention of any warning or even that this is a rampant problem 5) The "service" was unmanned at times. Not only do I hope Petsmart loses, I also hope that PETA jumps all over them. [QUOTE]
