Don’t think of it as stealing, think of it as taking direct action to make up for the imbalance in what his labor is worth and what he is being compensated.

Kidding aside, I am so thankful that my employer is concerned with general results and my overall productivity and not on pointless bean counting of what I do every moment of the day.
