Penny-wise and pound foolish. Quite a lot of this scenario reminds me of a local case that got a bit of press, and it's analogous, as in bad thinking: Drunk guy takes a cab to hotel, doesn't want to pay cab driver $40, so he punches the cab driver and runs into the hotel. Cab driver follows, has hotel staff call Police. Police get info for drunk guy's room and knock. Drunk guy's friend answers and lets the Police in. Police discover bag after bag after bag full of Tax Return ID theft evidence. Multiple arrests, leading to other arrests in other states. Multi-million dollar bust...over a $40 cab fare... Yet another instance where "Do unto others" as a basic "Hmm is this fair" moment of reflection can be very enlightening. Other side of the fence type thing. I've been on both sides enough to understand it's not everybody's skill, but, eh, for management it's rather fundamental...
