So my boss once robbed a museum to prove a point and honestly, I think she is my new role model.
If this gets notes I’ll tell the full story

Many years ago, my boss was working at this museum and they had these original Churchill documents on display. These documents are worth millions of dollars… The only thing separating the public from these documents was a sheet of glass secured with 4 philips head screws. Seriously. No security guards in the room, no cameras, just an easily removable piece of glass.
My boss pointed out the security concern, but she wasn’t taken seriously, so she took matters into her own hands.
She bought a ticket and pretended to be a guest. She entered through the main entrance with a huge drill clearly visible on her belt, went straight to the documents and opened the case with the drill. (While wearing gloves,) she removed the documents, put them in a folder, reattached the glass, and walked out the main exit. Literally no one even questioned her.
She immediately went around to the back of the museum, entered using the staff entrance and went straight to her boss’s office. She dropped the folder on his desk and said “I just stole these in 15 minutes“
Once he was done being mad at her, he listened and the museum increased security.

Dying for a Paycheck, published by HarperBusiness and released on March 20, maps a range of ills in the modern workplace — from the disappearance of good health insurance to the psychological effects of long hours and work-family conflict — and how these are killing people.
“Job engagement, according to Gallup, is
low. Distrust in management, according to the Edelman trust index, is
high. Job satisfaction, according to the Conference Board, is low and
has been in continual decline. The gig economy is growing, economic
insecurity is growing, and wage growth overall has stagnated.
Fewer
people are covered by employer-sponsored health insurance than in the
past, according to Kaiser Foundation surveys. And a strikingly high
percentage of people, even those covered by insurance, say they forgo
treatment and medications because of cost issues.
I look out at the workplace and I see
stress, layoffs, longer hours, work-family conflict, enormous amounts of
economic insecurity. I see a workplace that has become shockingly
inhumane.
…And obviously these workforce things that
cause ill health do not fall equally on the population. If you are less
educated, you have more economic insecurity, the likelihood of receiving
benefits is lower, your ability to control your work hours and your job
are worse, and so health outcomes are worse. But I didn’t think it
would be as bad for as many people.
I didn’t think the workplace would be the
fifth leading cause of death in the United States. And, by the way, when
I talk to HR people, they say the numbers we have are certainly wrong:
They are too low.”
