Bad employee

That was my reason why I don't recommend anybody at any kind of job. I don't want this thing to happen but with regards to other people stealing making friends because they up to something, I became a victim many times before. I just learned my lesson from previous experiences, personal experiences actually and not related with my present work. So I am always careful in dealing with others especially if my name will be used for one purpose or another. Just be careful!

Thats good that you haven't experienced anything like that. it was very disappointing. But at the same time, i was mad too, because she caused a lot of issues with everyone having to get written up for warnings. I refused to sign it because I know i didn't do it and to me it was unfair. But anyway, thank you for your input and you have a nice day as well. Blessed :)

I agree. I worked in a food distribution warehouse and I remember HR literally dragging an employee out of the building. Prior to this, he had stolen some food off the trucks. Perhaps he was hungry and didn't have food at home, or who knows! Still, the point is that it is legally and ethically wrong! It is still someone else' property.

this is also true, people can become addicted to stealing. It short of does become and illness. But still even if they may have good reason to steal, it doesn't make it right. You know? And its sad people will start stealing from elementary school. It starts with something small like cookies, or maybe a box of crayons and then it gets bigger and then you end up stealing things like car's, money and iPhones! lol But anyway, thats why when you see someone stealing anything, it should be stopped or reported because if not, then they'll continue until its too late.

thats a good rule. There's a saying, "Don't ever assume because you'll make a @ss out of U and ME. Get it? lol But anyway, you're right. Sometimes we wanna believe people are good hearted, but then we're sadly mistaken how bad and evil people really can be :(

Nope, I got fired for standing up for another mployee. But I was at that job number of years after this situation. But still they always brought it up even after the fact, I knew the girl from school, adn she wasn;t over a close friend. But in the last couple weeks, I wouldn't trust my best friends or who I thought were my best friends either so you never know.

Wow, that seems so similar to my situation. And its not you're not at fault, you didn't hire her right? lol and I know you probably felt a little bad (i did), but at the same time, like you said, you didn't know she wasn't someone you could trust. YOu never know who you can trust. defiantly not your fault. People just like to throw the blame onto others and they need someone to blame. You know? Do you still work at that job? Do they still give you a hard time?

i completely agree. You really can't trust people and its pretty sad. And you think people at church can be trusted. Maybe some yes, but not all. There was this one incident i heard where a lad left her purse and she came back and her money was gone! You can't leave your stuff anywhere and expect it to be there. In some parts of Canada, there are people who actually leave their door open, but in America, thats a different story. Canadians are also less violent then Americans. Maybe thats another reason too. Have you ever watched, "Bowling for Columbine?" (i kinda went off subject lol)

wow thats so sad. :( and very unfortunate. Isn't it sad that the good have to suffer for what the bad did? Yes, i did feel bad that my job lost a lot of money and i was just trying to help her out, but again like the good brother, i had no idea she would do such a evil thing. No only are these people bad and inconsiderate, but they're greedy as well. And eventually their greed will catch up with them.

i know right? i couldn't believe it. And she's actually in jail. I heard she made bail (probably with the money she got from the stolen iPhones). And yes, I will not be speaking to her. She probably won't be able to look into my eyes and probably will never step foot into that store again. She won't be showing her face around. The only person she really hurt was herself and her family. They're nice people. I feel really bad for them.

Agreed. We should trust people to a certain extent, but don't ever let our guard down. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt until they can prove they are trustworthy. There are a lot of people that are wolfs in sheep's clothing.

Yea thats also true. I met her at church, but she was really different from everybody. Its kind of hard to explain. She would do stuff that made me think, wait didn't you go to my church? why are you into stuff like this? you know what i mean? Sometimes she would use her beliefs not to work on certain days. She was never consistent. But at the same time, i didn't want to judge her you know? And the managers at my job know that i have a good heart and they didn't hold it against me. Its not like i called her up and said we have a job opening. she walked into my job and asked if they were hiring and i said yes. lol And being in a situation sucks and i too hope you don't experience it, But if you do, would you report that person?

NOOOO what!? What the heck! Not cool! you know what? I had another incident that happened at my job. There was a girl who was just recently hired as a rep one (front lanes ringing up items) . I was in the bathroom and she was too. (there were not customers in the store because there was a store meeting) and i left my little coach bag in one of the stalls. So later another fellow employee found my purse and i was like thank you thank you! She said make sure everything is in there. And i looked and my credit cards were missing and my money. So i told a manager what happened. And he confronted the girl. She denied it right in my face too. I called the cops and they said they could review the camera's in the bathroom and see that she did steal it. And of course there are no camera's in the bathroom, they were just bluffing. But the dumb girl believed it and she was busted and i got all my stuff back! Now at first i wasn't gonna press chargers because I felt bad, but then i thought about it. She lied to me, right in front of my face! So i pressed charges and she got fired and arrested. And she worked at the front with the money. I'm pretty sure she would have stolen money too but would have been caught immediately.

Yes agreed! And you know what funny? I had customers complain about her not caring about her job or other customers. Or coming to work high and stuff. So as a friend i would go and talk to her and she would get very defensive! No one could say anything to her. Sometimes she would ague with the managers. I remember one day she was complaining about money and then the next she was like "oh money isn't the problem." Then when the cops came for her, she was with a customer and the cop and manager said come with us. And she tired to kinda blow them off and the manager insisted and she walked away so heartlessly. When I saw that, everything made sense! So She was not remorseful or sorry for what she did. And yea to find out it was a female stealing was mind blowing. Everyone thought it was one of the guys.

Thats so true. I didn't know she was stealing, but if i found out, i defiantly would have reported her to a manager and let them deal with her. Even though she was a friend, she wasn't a close friend. She would do things i thought she'd never do, but i was always there for her as a friend, you know what i mean? But what i really didn't understand was, she saw how everybody was hurting from all the phones that were going missing, but she didn't care, or even stop and think what she was doing. So yes you're absolutely right! She had to learn a lesson and unfortunately it was the hard way. She owes my store a lot of money.

so lucky!! But you should keep in mind, some people can not be trusted =/

THats a shame that someone close to you did such a thing. And with no remorse whats so ever. He did not deserve your friendship and its good that you ended it. We you able to retrieve the information he stole from you?
