I fired a woman tonight. She's in her 40's, has a 17 yr. old daughter, which she is raising on her own.

With out going into all the details, shortly after I hired her 6 months ago, her life went to hell. I risked my life AND loaned her over 2 grand to help her out. Because that's what you do when you see someone in need that you can help.

Tonight, I got proof that she was stealing from me. Selling merchandise under the counter. I don't know how much, yet. At least $800 so far. I won't know the full extent of her treachery until I do a full inventory. Which will cost me even more money.

I'm not helping people any more.
Instead, I think I'll just drink alot. It hurts less and never really disappoints.

Fnord.
(and I'm damn glad I have a backspace button. typing drunk is hard)

While I'm totally empathetic to your personal and financial losses.....I think you need to step back and ask yourself.....

What did I hope to gain by helping her?
Was this friendship driven...or was it merely "fiendship"?
Nobody...with all due respect "helps" anyone unless they feel some greater reward in doing so.....
What was yours?

No need to throw the baby out with the bath water. This will pass. I have been "burned" for much more. Because....in the end, it's not where you start...it's where you end. and nobody gets out of this place ALIVE.

I have a very tough time hiring people to help me. Likewise I am even more leery of friends working for me. It is tough having to do everything alone because of trust issues.!
