Some admitted to stealing early on in the chaos [not the word I'm looking for
] to get the 'bosses' off their backs even though their Tills were affected by the 'bugs'. Which Horizon were apparently aware of as early as 2019. Each Post Master was told not to tell any1 especially within the Company: and of course each PO is isolated, they are hard working, running shops as well as PO in many cases, so probably never socialise with others: which should have raised alarm bells
Having been blamed 4 something I hadn't done in a large Company I can understand why people admitted - because it was draining
.
As soon as the new 'system' was installed a friend of ours walked from her job in the PO - she had been told that if the Till was even £1.00 out she would be in Court. The thought was keeping her awake at night so she left. No job is worth keeping awake for!
