Quit my job
Just quit my 2nd job at the Cigar Shop. It's a shame because I did like working there. Turns out that the manager and a full-timer there were using the safe as their personal loan department. Was told by the manager to just write in the dollar amount that the safe should have, even though it was short. I even loaned the manager $100 from my own pocket to bring the safe up to where it should be. Of course, he is 3 weeks late in repaying me and wants another 2 weeks. The safe never was fully repaid, as I was told it would be. I worked with this for about 2-3 months and realized the liability for me as just too high. I simply cannot work with that. One of the most important things we have left is our reputations and honesty. Kinda pisses me off, being put in that situation. Too bad, because it will cost me some $200 to 300 per month. Maybe I can get a job selling hot dogs on the side of the road. Not sure I won't get arrested for wearing a thong!

Re: Quit my job
Does the owner know this is happening? Seems to me he'd rather keep someone on that's honest, rather than crooks.

Re: Quit my job
Did you advise the owner of your reason? I know it's not cool to rat others out, but now they could blame you for the shortage if it is discovered, claiming this is the reason you left.
Just a thought.

Re: Quit my job
I would tell the owner, but in a way that would assumes the owner is ok with this (in case he did not know, you don't sound like a rat) and that style of "workplace culture" is not what you feel comfortable working in.

Re: Quit my job
I bet they will use your leaving as an excuse for why the safe is short. It's an easy way for them to get it back to where it needs to be and not repay the money. I would definitely get with the owner. It's an integrity thing.
I work in the service industry and I have seen it happen quite a few times over the years. When people leave, all sorts of stories come out, some true and some fake. When theft is involved, the person who left quickly becomes the scapegoat for many things. |

Re: Quit my job
I originally contacted the HR manager, gave that person my resignation and explained and the reason for my leaving. The purpose for my leaving today is that three others counted and signed off on the safe amount. My last shift was last Saturday. This way, three others had hands in the safe since me and all would have entered fictional totals.
I've received numerous calls and emails from the store manager, trying to put this on me. Figures. Quality guy there! Thankfully, this occurred before my name was the last one to sign off on the safe amount. Now, I'm off to see if I can find another interesting PT! |

Re: Quit my job
Sorry to hear it, you were a decent guy to loan him the money, you should tell the store owner he owes you 100 bucks and he can take it out of the shmucks paycheck. Actually that wouldn't be the best idea, I don't know how loudly you would want to scream that they were stealing and you knew about it and didn't report it because you were a human being and felt bad for the thieves.
Best of luck on the new hunt, Michael. |

Re: Quit my job
Well done Rob!! Integrity always comes first..
Don't feel bad about loosing your part time job. I was layed off this week after 12 years. Really stinks as I'm old school and believed in loyalty. Feel slapped in the face. Anyways, I wish you the best on the job hunting. Let me know if you need anything from me here in Orlando.

You're a nicer guy than me. I wouldn't have loaned him jack and I would be finding a way to hang those two
