Robbery motive: to get off work early

To quote from a news report:

An Oklahoma convenience store clerk is facing embezzlement charges after reportedly asking a friend to find someone to rob the store where he worked so he could go home early.

Notably the Facebook post by the police department, explaining the conviction,  was titled ‘Friends in Low Places’ and carried this footnote:

Our Human Resources department, and likely every H.R. department in the world would like to advise people that this is not the recommended way to leave work early.
