I don't know if I would sack them right off the bat, but I would definitely keep a very close eye on them. The fact that they are adults in the workplace who steal from colleagues definitely points to their character simply being incompatible with societal norms, so who knows what other demoralising actions they are taking part in?

Six-year-old primary school children who haven't been disciplined yet steal lunches. Not supposedly functional members of society.

When I was younger, sometimes I would hesitate to fire people even though they had crossed a bright line into fireable territory. With experience, it became very clear that it was never a good idea, so I stopped hesitating.

That sort of thing gets old, though, so I don't manage anyone now. Life is much less stressful that way.
