This article speaks for itself. This man should have been named Employee of The Year. Corporate cowardice is on display here for all to see and cry over.

SPC Margaret Higgins Sad but this corporate CYA and PC BS is becoming all too frequent. Are turning into a country of cowards? I wonder. PO3 Grant Skiles Grant, by reference, I say the same thing as a reply to your comment. Thank you both.

They didn't want to show their gratitude. Karma bit them in the rear.

As a former Safety guy I see both sides of this story. I can certainly understand corporate policy that dictates complying with instructions of a thief(s) and doing nothing to harm them or yourself. That's the lawyer speak that just about every company has for the safety of their employees and avoidance of litigation. I don't agree with what happened to this employee however. Yes he made a conscious decision to ignore company policy and in the process prevented a robbery. I somehow doubt that corporate reaction anytime someone violates company policy is termination and suspect prohibition and/or counseling is the most likely result. A thank you for your actions but you do realize company policy when confronted with a robber is......... session makes more sense to me.
