I worked for a privately held company that had one standard rule. Steal from the company, and you are fired. A manager of a remote facility was arrested for dealing drugs. The company stood behind her as she was arrested, not convicted for dealing drugs. As the weeks unfolded, it became apparent that she had a drug problem herself. It also became apparent that she had stolen thousands of dollars from company receivables. So she had stolen from the company and as a result, she lost her job. However, the owners of the company personally paid for in-patient treatment for her drug addiction (not covered by insurance at that time), paid her house payment for six months and ensured her children were well cared for as well. Yes, she lost her job, but hopefully got her life back.
