Personal experience. They were under a repressive communist regime for generations and developed appropriate responses, they are very tribal and largely parochial. Don't respond well to authority and poor education for the most part. Corruption widespread.
I work at a hotel in Northamptonshire. I currently come across East Europeans (Romani and Albanian) in 2 settings:- 1) stealing cooking oil for recycling from outside the kitchen and 2) stealing guests (contractors) tools from their vans! I rest my case.
I think you misunderstand- these are not employees, these are criminals. They hit us for a couple of weeks maybe 4 times, then disappear for a couple of months and return. Damaging vehicles to steal a man's work tools is not pilfering.
