An amazing 21% of tech employees confess to stealing from their employer. Out of the 21% of respondents who did steal, we asked them the average dollar value of the item stolen, and found that 66% of those employees admitted to stealing an item valued at $1 to $19, among 3 other higher value tiers.

This study further went to ask tech employees “Why did you steal?”, and found that 29% stole because they were too lazy to go out and buy the object, while second highest majority group of 24% said they stole because they knew they can get away with it.
