pilferage

Then there’s internal theft — pilferage or embezzlement by employees.

Konchalski criticized “the rampant pilferage of talent” as “craven” before wishing subscribers continued success.

"The bigger issue is a pilferage issue and it may not necessarily be around cabin crew," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

The debate appears to have intensified after a column in the Kenyan newspaper Business Daily noted the “pilferage of African culture over the years, through the use of intellectual property rights.”

Hotel representatives say the change does not directly save the companies money, even though it will cut down on pilferage, but could help attract and retain guests.
