A woman in Milwaukee is paying for a crime she committed 40 years ago by losing her job. Wells Fargo found out during a background check that she had shoplifted in 1972, and subsequently fired her. She thinks she's already paid her time for that crime, but Wells Fargo's policies disagree.

Bull crap.they especially they should've caught that before they hired her.
And i feel her pain.I got in trouble 13 years ago when I was 21,and it still bites my but to this day.I've not been in troubke before or since.I feel depending on the crime and personal history I.e. how many times prior has the person been found or pled guilty, that needs to come of their record in time.kinda like how the mva does points on licenses. I also believe this should only be used after say five to ten years after the judgement of a persons crime.I also believe that f that person is given that chance then they need to recieve full punishment if they happen to get into trouble again.
No love for Wells Fargo, but I'm not sure this is as heartless as it appears. If she put the charge on her application, then WF will pay. If not, she was a fool for not doing so. Didn't see a mention of felony or misdemeanor.
I agree 4:25. If she lied on her job application by not listing the conviction, she is wrong. If she didn't list it, what else did she lie about.
She should ask that it be expunged, then there's no need to worry over it or mention it on an application. In my state, it's expungable after 3 years. I was going through the list, and came across my divorce, and decided to leave that one on there! Didn't want HER coming back...!
Great comment but sad too.
