The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Is There Really a Shoplifting Tsunami?
(Mis)measuring the Shoplifting Crisis
Is there a wave of retail theft? Data tell a
more complicated story than the headlines.
 For
the past 18 months, America has allegedly faced a shoplifting tsunami.
Much of the evidence for the shoplifting surge comes from scary but rare
anecdotes, backed up by industry statistics based on private data that the
public can't double check.
What's the truth of the matter? In short, there are holes in both sides'
stories. A closer look at the numbers suggests shoplifting fell in 2020,
though it may have risen in 2021. The bigger picture, however, shows a much
deeper problem: America isn't experiencing a short-term surge in shoplifting,
but a long-run wave, one that has been growing in big
cities for over a decade. Addressing that issue should be a top
priority for city leaders, who need to keep shopkeepers and residents on their
side or risk municipal catastrophe.
What's Wrong with Current Coverage
Video of someone stealing thousands of dollars of merchandise in one go is
shocking. But how do we know it is representative of a bigger problem?
The problem is that we have no way of independently assessing their validity:
summary statistics, devoid of context, just don't tell us much, especially when
presented by interested parties. Firms like CVS and Walgreens could release
"shrinkage" data-precise information on how much inventory each store loses to
different sources, including shoplifting-but they don't. That not only makes
their claims hard to judge, but should cause us to trust them less.
 What
the Data Show
While most coverage of the shoplifting wave has looked at trends in larceny or
burglary more generally, police departments break down information about
property offenses, allowing a count of shoplifting offenses. Those data show
that in cities that today with more than 500,000 people, the per capita rate of
shoplifting offenses peaked at 562 per 100,000 in 1990. It then fell
nearly 60 percent to a low of 225 in 2006. But as of 2019, just
before the pandemic, it had risen to 379 per 100,000, a
50 percent increase. A similar, albeit less dramatic, pattern
obtained in smaller cities.
Why?
There are popular explanations for the recent surge. In San Francisco, one is
Proposition 47, the ballot initiative that raised from $450 to $950 the
threshold amount after which a theft qualifies as a felony. On the one hand,
shoplifting in the city-and in California, in the FBI data, for a year-did spike
after the initiative was passed in 2014. On the other, an analysis from the Pew
research center found that similar changes to the "felony theft threshold" in
other states
consistently yielded no change in the larceny theft rate. Policy
in San Francisco also doesn't explain the nationwide increase in urban
shoplifting.
Cause, though, is less important than policy response. If the big city
shoplifting rate is up 50 percent since its pre-Great Recession low, that should
be a call to action for city executives. The dramatic decline in
shoplifting, and most criminal offending, since the early 1990s is one of the
great civic triumphs of our era. Mayors should be willing to commit law
enforcement to swift and certain consequences for serious, big-ticket, or serial
shoplifting offenses-if the SFPD isn't clearing shoplifting complaints, it's on
London Breed to fix the problem. A failure to do otherwise degrades the
quality of life in their city, hurting shopkeepers and residents and
threatening America's urban renaissance.

Progressive LA County DA Could Be Taken Down
By Crime Surge
Package thefts and other high-profile crimes threaten to derail the
reform-minded Los Angeles County DA
 A
rash of package thefts from freight trains passing slowly through downtown Los
Angeles has raised a fundamental question facing this city and others: how to
balance attempts at criminal justice reform with the need for crime prevention.
"What the hell is going on?" asked an exasperated Gov. Gavin Newsom last week
when he joined an effort to clear the cargo detritus from the train tracks.
Railroad behemoth Union Pacific, in large part, blames the thefts on Los
Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, a progressive who took
office 13 months ago on promises to enact a "more humane" criminal justice
system. The company has claimed that despite over 100 arrests, "UP has not been
contacted for any court proceedings."
Gascón, however, calls that "misleading," telling CNN, "They did not send 100
cases to us."
Union Pacific points to a controversial order issued in December 2020 by the
DA to his staff not to prosecute many misdemeanors including most cases of
trespassing. A company executive about a month ago wrote to Gascón, "UP and our
goods movement partners strongly urge you to reconsider the policies detailed in
Special Directive 20-07."
But Gascón isn't backing down from the mandate -- or from other
initiatives that have drawn fierce opposition from within his own ranks, as well
as from the community he serves, where organizers are now driving a second
attempt to throw him out of office.
Flanked recently by other progressive district attorneys from around the country
as he marked his first year in office, Gascón doubled down: "We have set a
path for ourselves to turn around the criminal legal system in this country,"
he said.
Gascón is also now taking some heat for a spate of smash-and-grab
robberies in Los Angeles and beyond before Christmas. "He has created this
environment where there's no accountability," Siddall said. "Criminals are
arrested, and within 24 hours they're back on the street committing crime."

Controversial Crime-Tracking App
Crime tracking app Citizen acquires Harbor, a disaster prep app
 In
the 60 U.S. cities where it operates, Citizen says it delivers over 20
million alerts,
sourced from public 911 blotters and verified by staff, each day. Users
used to be able to report incidents directly to Citizen, but now its website
encourages them to
call 911 instead.
Harbor, which raised a
$5 million seed round about a year and a half ago, gamifies the process of
preparing for crises like fires and earthquakes. The app, which
launched in October 2020, asks users to enter their zip code. Then, they're
told what disasters are most likely to befall them (which sounds a little
terrifying).
"I couldn't be happier for our team to join Citizen and its mission to make
your world a safer place," said Dan Kessler, the CEO of harbor, who will
join Citizen as Chief Business Officer. "There's so much we will do together to
continue building our new technology category around mobile safety."
This acquisition could help Citizen give users ways to stay safe that don't
involve anxiety-inducing alerts about nearby incidents. Citizen also
recently launched
Protect, a $20/month service that lets users contact a Citizen agent if they
feel unsafe, but don't want to call 911.
Now with 10 million users, Citizen has been embroiled in various controversies
over the years. Starting in 2016, the app - previously called
Vigilante - was
removed from the App Store for encouraging activities that could lead to
risk or physical harm (this iteration of the app suggested that average
people should approach the problem of crime "as a group," the company
wrote at launch).
The app has also come under fire for
offering to pay users $30,000 for information about a suspected arsonist
who turned out to be innocent, as well as trying to
deploy private security workers to examine the scene of reported crimes.

Store Associates Call for More Security Amid
NYC Theft Surge
Retail workers feel powerless over shoplifting surge exposed by celebrity video
 Workers
at Upper East Side drug and grocery stores said Wednesday that brazen
shoplifters target their stores every day - and they are powerless to stop
it. The employees spoke to the Post a day after actor and comedian Michael Rapaport
filmed an alleged crook casually strolling out of a Rite Aid at 80th Street
and Second Avenue with his loot.
"It happens everywhere around here," said Herman Diaz, an assistant manager at
the nearby Morton Williams supermarket on First Avenue and East 81st Street. "They
come here, 2 or 3 [shoplifting incidents per day] for meat and beer and Red
Bull."
Diaz said he started to see such incidents happening last year. "Every store
is losing money because of this," the assistant manager said. "I've never
seen that before. It's brazen."
He said police need to be given "more power" in order to stop the thefts. An
employee at CVS on First Avenue and 82nd Street said "there are way more
[shoplifters] now."
She blamed the uptick on pandemic-fueled unemployment, and said thieves are
emboldened because workers aren't allowed to stop them. "We can't even touch
them," said the employee, before she was ushered away by her co-workers. "We
don't have security here. We should have security. It happens every day."

'Encouraging Signs' as COVID Cases Plummet
Omicron loosens its grip, but the pandemic hasn't ended
After a frenetic few weeks when the Omicron variant of the coronavirus seemed to
infect everyone, including the vaccinated and boosted, the United States is
seeing encouraging signs.
As cases decline in some parts of the country, many have begun to hope that this
surge is the last big wave of the virus - that because of its unique
characteristics, the Omicron variant will usher Americans out of the
pandemic.
What's driving the optimism? The idea is that so many people are gaining
immunity through vaccination or infection with Omicron that soon the
coronavirus will be unable to find a foothold in our communities, and will
disappear from our lives.
"Things are looking good," Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the Biden
administration's top adviser on the pandemic, said on Sunday. "We don't want to
get overconfident, but they look like they're going in the right direction right
now."
But in interviews with more than a dozen epidemiologists, immunologists and
evolutionary biologists, the course of the virus in the United States appeared
more complicated - and a bit less rosy. The path to normalcy may be short and
direct, the goal just weeks away, and horrific surges may become a thing of
the past. Or it may be long and bumpy, pockmarked with outbreaks.

Retail Workers Showing Up with COVID
'Just wear a mask and don't tell anyone': Workplaces are filling up with sick
employees
 Maria
Bernal, an employee at a Jack in the Box in Folsom, Calif., couldn't read
the orders popping up on her screen. Her vision was blurry, her hands shook from
chills and her head felt heavy.
A pharmacist told her she probably had COVID-19. When she told her boss,
the manager told Bernal to keep working.
As the Omicron variant knocked out swaths of the labor force, people in a
variety of jobs - fast-food workers, grocery clerks,
teachers - say they have been under immense pressure to report to
work while feeling sick or having tested positive with the virus.
"A lot of workers feel pressure to come in - a supervisor is leaning on
them, saying, 'I really need you today,'" said Kristen Harknett, a professor of
social behavioral sciences at UC San Francisco who has polled service sector
workers during the pandemic.
Two-thirds of service workers surveyed in the months leading up to the Omicron
surge said they did not stay home when they were feeling sick and went to work
ill. The numbers highlight the precarious situation for workers without sick
leave, Harknett said. They also show the pressure of chronic short
staffing, threats from bosses and the possibility of losing pay that also
causes people to keep going to work, she said.
Ill workers are serving meals, taking orders and talking to co-workers and
customers through cloth or surgical masks that offer less protection and
raise the risks for all.

Federal Retail Pharmacy Program
Walgreens, CVS Begin Offering Free N95 Masks, With More on the Way
Masks will be distributed at health centers
and pharmacies enrolled in the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program
Walgreens and CVS are starting to distribute free N95 masks from the
government to area residents Thursday and Friday, while other Illinois stores
and pharmacies have already begun. According to CVS Health, some locations
expect to receive mask shipments Thursday, with more arriving on a rolling basis
as supplies become available.
"Inventory is expected to begin to arrive at these locations as early as
Thursday, January 27 and will continue arriving on a rolling basis as
additional supply becomes available," the company told NBC 5 in a statement.
"Masks are limited to three per person, while supplies last, and signs will be
posted to indicate N95 mask availability."
A Walgreens spokesperson said in a statement that first stores will begin
offering free N95 masks starting Friday. Like CVS and other pharmacies,
Walgreens noted that participating locations will show signage indicating mask
availability.
Meijer
began handing out free N95 masks to shoppers Monday, becoming one of the
first major retail chains to do so as part of a Biden administration initiative.
Des-Moines based Hy-Vee, which operates more than a dozen stores in
Illinois, said the majority of its locations in the state have received
shipments of N95 masks and started distribution.

Anti-Vaxxers Harass Restaurant Employees &
Customers
A Bunch of Anti-Vaccine Protesters Clashed With DC Restaurant Workers
At multiple businesses, protesters harassed
employees, heckled patrons, and refused to leave.
 A
group of anti-vaxxers walk into a bar, and clashes ensue. That was the punchline
in DC a few days ago, as anti-vaccine protesters descended on the National Mall
for Sunday's "Defeat the Mandates" rally.
The District's vaccine mandate for bars, restaurants, and other indoor venues
went into effect on January 15. It requires patrons age 12 and over to show
proof of at least one dose of the Covid vaccine.
At Union Pub, right-wing monitoring organization Patriot Takes shared a video of
anti-vaccine protesters doing an alleged "MLK-style sit-in" at the Capitol
Hill bar. In the footage, a small group of unmasked protesters heckle
patrons and a doorman, calling him a "fascist Nazi" as nearby patrons rush
to put on their masks.
Employees at Old Ebbitt Grill by the National Mall were forced to call DC police
for assistance after two women entered, refused to wear masks or show proof of
vaccination, and declined to leave after being repeatedly asked.

COVID work rules: A guide for California workers
As omicron ripples across California, workers are learning they've been exposed
and coming down with symptoms. What happens next? There are rules employers and
workers are supposed to follow to keep workplaces safe and limit the spread of
the virus.
Most California workers who are working in person are covered by emergency
temporary rules from the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, better
known as Cal/OSHA. A subsection of workers, including some in health facilities,
correctional facilities, homeless shelters, and drug treatment centers, are
protected by different workplace rules.

Dark Stores - Retail's Future?
New Retail Technology Lights the Way for the Rise of Dark Stores
The growth of e-commerce combined with the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a
permanent shift in consumer shopping behavior, leading to a rapid increase in
online shopping that is unlikely to reverse. As a result, a new player has
emerged, particularly in grocery shopping and traditional retail: dark stores.
Dark stores are springing up everywhere to meet the new consumer needs. This
flexible business model caters to customers who prefer to shop from the comfort
of their homes.
It Poses a Challenge for Retailers - With
some dark stores promising to deliver goods in as quick as 10 minutes, retailers
have to figure out how to make this channel profitable and prevent losses that
can stem from poorly designed business operations. Dark stores need to operate
efficiently to meet the demand for fast delivery and real-time inventory.
Easy Task Management - Dark stores don't
serve customers inside the warehouse, but plenty of work still needs to be done
on the floor. Management can simplify task allocation and monitoring through
a cloud-based solution. Using an app, supervisors can input important tasks
and assign them to the right person.
Convenient Communication - Unlike
traditional retail or e-commerce, dark store operations don't simply involve
a store or a warehouse. So aside from pickers going around the floor
preparing orders, expect to have employees on the road for curbside pick-up and
home delivery. A one-stop mobile-based solution with video call functionality
removes the hassle of looking for a phone number-especially in an emergency.
Outstanding Operations Optimization - Since
new retail tech runs on the cloud, the central office can track dark store
operations and spot problematic areas. Through auditing and smart analytics,
retailers can identify specific challenges and issues they are seeing at each
location, adopt newer and better processes, and ensure employees clearly
understand them.

Lowe's Evolution Into 'One-Stop Shop'
Lowe's will open Petco shops inside some stores, as it looks beyond appliances
and paint
The addition of pet merchandise is part of
Lowe's strategy to become a one-stop shop for everything homeowners may need
 Lowe's
will soon test a new offering: A Petco shop inside its stores where
customers can buy dog food and cat litter, and even visit with a vet, while
shopping for paint and other supplies for home projects.
The two retailers announced a deal Thursday to pilot the store-in-store
locations. The first one will open near San Antonio in early February, with
14 additional locations planned in Texas, North Carolina and South Carolina
by the end of March.
Lowe's and Petco have been pandemic beneficiaries, as Americans took on
do-it-yourself projects and adopted pets while spending more time at home. In
the coming months, however, the retailers could face a more challenging backdrop
if consumers feel squeezed by rising inflation or decide to spend a larger chunk
of the budget on vacations and nights out instead of pet accessories and home
projects.
The store-in-store will vary in size, but the first location will be about
1,000 square feet and will be placed at the front of the store, said Bill
Boltz, Lowe's executive vice president of merchandising.

How McDonald's Beat the Labor Shortage
McDonald's expanded its workforce in 2021, offering better wages and benefits to
beat the labor shortage
The total number of staff on McDonald's
roster grew during 2021 despite the wider labor shortage.
Fast-food giant McDonald's revealed Thursday that improved employment
packages enabled the company to expand its payroll last year despite the
tight labor market.
McDonald's finished 2021 with more staff than it had at the start of the year,
CEO Chris Kempczinski said on an earnings call Thursday. He attributed the
increased staffing levels to
higher wages and
better benefits. Nearly all its US restaurants are now back to normal
opening hours, he added.
A post-lockdown
labor shortage devastated much of the restaurant industry in 2021, as
record numbers of Americans quit their jobs in search of better wages,
benefits, and working conditions. Others
returned to education,
switched industries, or took
early retirement. Many businesses were forced to offer better conditions to
staff in order to keep operating.
Some McDonald's franchise owners took more unusual measures to tackle labor
shortfalls in 2021, with one
calling on 14-year-olds to apply for jobs,
another offering iPhones to new hires, and another handing out
$50 to anyone who came for an interview.

Retail-Driven Recession Coming?
Retail expert warns recession just 'around the corner'
Returns, inflation could lead to a
recession, Burt Flickinger said
During an interview on "Mornings with Maria" retail expert Burt Flickinger
explained how the increase of items returned at retail stores combined with
inflation could potentially lead to a recession in the near future.
BURT FLICKINGER: It is troubling, Maria, because to your point, you've
go to 16.6% this year versus the 10.6, the reference the cost of every return is
$33 on a $50 item, the profit out of $50 items, only $1. So the retailers are
losing a fortune. So that means higher prices and lower standards of living for
consumers. And that with the McDonald's news, today is a harbinger of the
recession coming more quickly around the corner.

Cybersecurity Budgets & Staffing Increase in 2022: New Report
Ransomware resilience planning tops the list
of key initiatives that chief information security officers are tackling this
year at consumer-facing companies.
 Vienna,
VA (January 27, 2022) - The
Retail & Hospitality
Information Sharing and Analysis Center (RH-ISAC) today released the CISO
Benchmark Report, which includes data about budgets, personnel, and
organizational priorities from cybersecurity leaders across consumer-facing
industries.
The report reveals that 70% of survey respondents expect the 2022 budget for
information security to be higher than in 2021, and only 2% expect budgets to be
cut. Additionally, 67% of survey respondents expect to see an increase in the
number of full-time employees who work in cybersecurity at their company.
The increase in budget and personnel will, in part, go toward supporting key
initiatives that CISOs and cybersecurity leaders are planning to implement in
order to mitigate security risks. Ransomware resilience planning tops the list
of key initiatives, with 69% of survey respondents saying they are working on
ransomware resilience projects in 2022.
"The upward trend in both budgets and staff for InfoSec departments demonstrates
the critical importance of cybersecurity," said Suzie Squier, president of
RH-ISAC. "Companies are making investments in cybersecurity in order to protect
their bottom line, and participating as an active member of the RH-ISAC
community helps that investment to go even further."
The companies represented in this survey include retail, restaurants,
hospitality companies, and consumer packaged goods and reflect more than 304,000
total locations, 2.1 million corporate employees, and $1.3 trillion in annual
sales.
A
summary version of the CISO Benchmark Report is available here. The full
version of the report is available to RH-ISAC members.

Negligent Employees - Malicious Insiders -
Outside Hackers
With Cloud the Norm, Insiders Are Everywhere - and Pose Greater Risk
After companies accelerated their adoption
of cloud infrastructure, remote workers are now insiders and pose significant
risks, and costs, to companies.
Organizations dealing with insider threats spent $15.4 million on average during
2021, a 34% increase from 2020, and required 85 days to contain each
incident, according to a survey of 1,000 information technology and security
professionals released on Jan. 25.
 The
survey, conducted by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by enterprise security
firm Proofpoint, documented 6,803 total insider incidents, including those
caused by negligent employees, malicious insiders, and the theft of credentials
by outside hackers. Because companies have accelerated their move to cloud
services in the wake of the pandemic, the theft of credentials has become a more
common - and the most expensive - insider threat, nearly doubling in frequency
over the previous year.
The move to remote work and cloud services has changed the way that companies
have to watch out for insider attacks, says Ryan Kalember, executive vice
president of cybersecurity strategy for Proofpoint.
"The relationship with the employer is different, and the set of technical
controls you use to identify those incidents are different," he says. "There
are no classic insider risk program elements when you are not all going to the
same office, and can say, 'Oh, that guy is acting funny.' You can't do that
when everyone is meeting over Zoom all day."
Based on a sample of 278 companies, the survey found that the insider attacks
cost companies in North America the most, with the average firm in that
region paying $17.5 million per year; the financial services industry had
the greatest cost, with each company paying $21.3 million on average,
according to the report.
Overall, 43% of the cost from insider threats was due to negligent employees,
27% due to malicious insiders, and 30% due to credential theft. The most
common insider incident, negligent insiders, accounted for 56% of the incidents
but cost the least - about $485,000 - to remediate on average, while the
least common type of insider incident, credential theft, which accounted for
18% of incidents, cost the most, at $805,000.

157 Total Ransomware Families - Up 26%
Ransomware families becoming more sophisticated with newer attack methods
Ivanti, Cyber Security Works and Cyware announced a report which identified
32 new
ransomware families in 2021, bringing the total to 157 and
representing a 26% increase over the previous year.
&uuid=(email)) The
report also found that these ransomware groups are continuing to target
unpatched vulnerabilities and weaponize zero-day vulnerabilities in record time
to instigate crippling attacks. At the same time, they are broadening their
attack spheres and finding newer ways to compromise organizational networks and
fearlessly trigger high-impact assaults.
Top observations and trends
Unpatched vulnerabilities remain the most prominent attack vectors exploited by
ransomware groups. The analysis uncovered 65 new vulnerabilities tied to
ransomware last year, representing a 29% growth compared to the previous
year and bringing the total number of vulnerabilities associated with ransomware
to 288. Alarmingly, 37% of these newly added vulnerabilities were actively
trending on the dark web and repeatedly exploited.
Parallelly, 56% of the 223 older vulnerabilities identified prior to 2021
continued to be actively exploited by ransomware groups. This proves that
organizations need to prioritize and patch the weaponized vulnerabilities that
ransomware groups are targeting - whether they are newly identified
vulnerabilities or older vulnerabilities.
157 ransomware families exploiting 288 vulnerabilities
With 157 ransomware families exploiting 288 vulnerabilities, ransomware
groups are poised to wage rampant attacks in the coming years. And according to
Coveware, organizations pay an average of $220,298 and suffer 23 days of
downtime following a ransomware attack. This calls for an increased emphasis on
cyber hygiene. Looking ahead, automating cyber hygiene will become increasingly
important, especially as environments continue to get more complicated.

e-mails with a personal impact resulted in more clicks and that technical
teams - such as IT workers and DevOps teams - clicked just as often and reported
suspected phishing attacks less often compared with nontechnical teams
Software-security firm F-Secure worked with four multinational organizations to
create campaigns featuring one of four different phishing e-mails: a purported
message from human resources, a fake CEO fraud message, a spoofed
document-sharing message, and a fake notice of a service failure. On average,
12% of users clicked on the phishing e-mail in their inboxes, but the rate
depended significantly on the content.
In addition, the median time to report a suspected phishing attack was 30
minutes - good but somewhat problematic as a quarter of those who clicked on
a phishing e-mail did so in the first five minutes, says Matthew Connor, F-Secure's
service delivery manager and lead author of the study report.
Fast Phish Reporting Is Key
The lesson is perhaps the the study's most important: Speed is critical,
Connor says. One way to improve the reporting rate, and the speed, is to make
reporting very simple, such as a click of a button. Two companies that did not
have such an easy way to report suspect phishing attacks had an average
reporting rate of less than 15%, while a third company that did have a
ubiquitous button had a 45% reporting rate.
Because companies need to rely on workers to report phishing as soon as
possible, keeping the process as friction-free as possible is important,
said Riaan Naude, director of consulting at F-Secure, in a statement announcing
the results.

Amazon Spying on Warehouse Workers?
NLRB accuses Amazon of 'threatening, surveilling' warehouse workers
on Staten Island
Federal labor regulators on Thursday accused Amazon of illegally surveilling
and threatening workers who are trying to unionize a Staten Island, N.Y.,
warehouse.
The complaint, first reported by Bloomberg News, marks the National Labor
Relations Board's latest brush with the e-commerce giant over questions about
its tactics. The NLRB wants to compel Amazon to take certain actions to inform
workers of their right to organize, according to Kathy Drew King, a regional
director for the agency.
Amazon "repeatedly broke the law by threatening, surveilling, and
interrogating their Staten Island warehouse workers who are engaged in a
union organizing campaign," King said in a statement.
Amazon spokeswoman Kelly Nantel said the allegations were false, adding without
elaboration that "we look forward to showing that through this process."
The complaint comes as a separate, high-stakes unionization effort is playing
out in Alabama, where Amazon workers in Bessemer are poised to vote. Workers
there
overwhelmingly rejected a union last year, but the NLRB called for a revote
after finding that Amazon improperly interfered in that election. An NLRB
official specifically cited Amazon's efforts to place an unmarked U.S. Postal
Service mailbox in front of the warehouse just after voting started, writing
that Amazon "essentially [hijacked] the process and gave a strong impression
that it controlled the process."
It also coincides with a surge in labor activism across the country;
dozens of strikes and strike authorizations have flared up in recent months -
including at Kellogg's and John Deere.

Paying Amazon Employees to Quit?
Amazon's 'pay-to-quit' program won't cover most US workers this year
And it could be because of staff shortages
caused by COVID-19.
 Amazon
won't be paying most warehouse workers in the US to quit their jobs this year.
According to
The Information, the e-commerce giant has paused its "pay-to-quit"
program for majority of its workers for 2022, and it's unclear if it will be
reinstated. The publication has obtained a copy of Amazon's message to its
employees, which was then verified by a spokesperson from the company.
Typically, Amazon pays its warehouse workers up to $5,000 to quit their jobs
after peak seasons like the holidays as a way to pare down its workforce in the
slowdown that follows.
Jeff Bezos also once told shareholders in a newsletter that it's a way to
give employees an out if they're no longer happy working for Amazon. The
company would usually make "The Offer," as it's also called, towards the end of
the first quarter of the year. For 2022, however, it told employees that only
workers who graduated from Amazon's Career Choice training program will be
eligible for the payout.
They're also only eligible within 90 days after graduating. Amazon pays tuition
reimbursements for workers part of the Career Choice program, which
expands this January to include GEDs, English as a Second Language (ESL)
certificates and bachelor's degrees. It only used to cover certificates for
technical skills and associate degrees.
Karen Riley Sawyer, the company's representative, has confirmed the changes to
the pay-to-quit program, telling The Information that it's currently
only available "to graduates of Career Choice to support their transition to a
new career should they choose to leverage their new certifications."
While Sawyer didn't say why the program's scope has been narrowed down, it
could be because vaccine mandates and the rising infection rates caused by the
spread of the Omicron variant are making it hard for Amazon to find adequate
staffing. Earlier this month,
Motherboard reported that over 1,800 workers at a single Amazon facility in
New York were out on leave due to COVID. A source also told The Information
that the warehouse had been facing severe staffing shortages over the past
months.

Raleigh, NC: 'It does make me angry': Brazen burglary of Raleigh shoe store
caught on camera
 Most
of the shelves are bare right now inside One of One Boutique in Raleigh. The
display case is also empty. The owners aren't sure when they'll be able to
replace merchandise after a brazen, orchestrated burglary. "As soon as they come
in, they go straight for the alarm like they have been in here before," said One
of One Owner Terry Mangum. Mangum was at home early Monday morning when he
started getting notifications from his security system and began watching in
real-time as his store was hit by a group of burglars. The front door was
kicked-in and five people quickly filed inside to grab pricey items. Mangum
called police and frantically dressed to race to the store, but he couldn't
match their speed. The thieves were seen in the storage room stacking in their
arms with as many boxes as possible before bolting. "It's hard. It sucks. It
does make me angry and if you watch the video, just the way that they stole.
They were just taking anything," said Mangum. The Raleigh Police Department is
working to arrest the people seen in the surveillance video. According to the
police report, $30,000 worth of shoes and clothing were stolen, along with $500.

Athens, GA: Same burglar suspected of stealing $26,000 worth of cellphones from
2 stores
Athens-Clarke police detectives are working to identify the person who
burglarized two cellphone businesses Wednesday and stole about $26,000 worth of
phones. The burglaries of Cell Phone Guy on Oconee Street and Boost Mobile on
Hawthorne Avenue occurred about 35 minutes apart, according to police reports.
The businesses are about four miles from each other. Police spokesman Geoff
Gilland said Thursday that detectives believe the crimes were committed by the
same suspect, who may also have committed similar crimes in Gwinnett County.
Police were alerted to the burglaries when a burglar alarm activated about 3:47
a.m. at Cell Phone Guy after the front glass door was shattered. An officer
arrived to find the store already looted, but later while on scene with the
store manager, he learned another cellphone store had been burglarized in
similar fashion on Hawthorne Avenue, according to police. The officer was given
a partial list of stolen merchandise at Cell Phone Guy that amounted to 35
phones valued at about $11,120. Officers who arrived at Boost Mobile found a
similar situation with the front door shattered along with a door to a back room
forced open. After the manager arrived, he estimated that $15,000 worth of
phones was taken, but he didn't have an exact amount.

Laredo, TX: Woman shoplifted at Best Buy to later sell items on Facebook
 A
woman caught shoplifting at Best Buy would sell the stolen merchandise on
Facebook, according to Laredo police. Miriam Nalleli Hernandez-Castor, 34, was
arrested and charged with theft. Officers responded to a theft report on Monday
at the Best Buy on 7905 San Dario Ave. A store employee stated that a family of
four -a man, Hernandez and two children- had gone into the store. Then, a female
walked to the home theater department. The store employee witnessed the female
suspect concealing items in her purse and walking towards the exit without
paying for the items. Loss prevention personnel stopped her. She was
allegedly found in possession of 11 firesticks valued at $39.99 each and two
Chromecast with Google TV valued at $49.99 each. When police arrived, they
had Hernandez and her juvenile son detained for the alleged theft. The son
stated he had no idea his mother was stealing from Best Buy. Asked if her son
was involved in the alleged theft, Hernandez stated that she had acted alone.
Further investigation revealed that Hernandez is the suspect in at least four
other incidents that occurred at the store. Charges are expected to be filed
once the proper paperwork is done, according to court documents. Asked if she
was involved in those incidents, she allegedly stated "yes." Most of the
stolen merchandise was sold on Facebook's Clasificados under the name of "Pecas
Castro," states the arrest affidavit.

Shootings & Deaths
Mesquite, TX: Security guard dies following assault at Mesquite gym
 A
security guard at a gym in Mesquite ended up dead when police say he was
attacked while doing his job. Police are not releasing many details about the
assault Saturday at the Fitness Connection or what led up to it. That has the
family of the victim, 43-year-old Patrick Prejean, concerned. Police say they
are waiting for the medical examiner to give them a cause of death. Prejean's
family is upset because they aren't being given answers. Mesquite police say a
physical altercation happened Saturday inside Fitness Connection on Town East
Boulevard. Investigators say the altercation was between Prejean, who was a
security guard there, and others in the gym area.
What happened during the fight is unclear, but Prejean was taken to the hospital
and pronounced dead.
A purported video of the incident was posted on online showing Prejeans final
moments. FOX 4 has seen the video, but we are not showing it. Hall says Prejean
had been working security at the gym since last summer. She says many family
members found out about his death from the video posted on YouTube.
Fitness Connection released a statement saying, "We strongly condemn all acts of
violence in our communities, but especially within the walls of our fitness
facilities. We send our deepest condolences to the family of the victim of this
needless attack." Fitness Connection says it is cooperating with law
enforcement. Investigators say they have identified some people in the video.
But at this time, no charges have been filed mainly because the cause of death
has not yet been determined. The medical examiner will determine if Prejean was
the victim of homicidal violence.

Philadelphia, PA: Police warning about rash of armed robberies at fast-food
restaurants: 'They appear organized'
 Philadelphia
police believe a group of young males is responsible for a crime spree targeting
fast-food restaurants in the city. Authorities say the five suspects appear to
be between 16 and 20 years old. "In many of these robberies, in fact, all of
them, they are done like a takeover," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector
Frank Vanore. "One or two of the individuals either jump the counter or find a
way to get back behind the counter. They order the employees, and they move
quickly to where the money is kept, whether it's the safe, different registers."
Investigators say at least five robberies are believed to be linked to the
group.

Education is a broad term usually defined by an individual as a singular focus
with an end result that oftentimes stagnates the brain and limits horizons.
Reaching milestones is incredibly important, but keeping your curiosity and
wonderment is the key to reaching beyond. No singular degree or certification
will bring you the success - it merely opens the door to more learning and the
realization that if you don't know something, you go find someone who does and
learn it from them.
Just a Thought,
Gus
