If his claim was true, then it doesn't say much for the company's bosses. And he was the guy that tried to steal from us ... a nice oak chair. We caught the chair, but there was some other stuff that went missing that we didn't notice right way, which never turned up. I'm assuming "Tiny" bagged the stuff.

Not surprising. That company is operated out of a dumpy old warehouse in NE Calgary (sorry, jack). I worked there for 5 weeks. After one week, I had my own truck and crew. The place is embarrassing. The trucks are not roadworthy. The guys they'd give me to work with were street people (on a side note, I had bales of respect for the so called 'street people' that would actually show up and haul stinking couches around all day so that they were a penny closer to a damage deposit), generally, that company is on the very fringe of credibility. Having a driver's license gives you an extra dollar an hour. Being able to manouver a 5 ton out of a parking lot puts you on the ladder toward senior management.
