I wasn't sure if I should put this in crappy co-workers, because the co-worker I am talking about is one that I truly enjoyed working with and I'm in just utter, complete shock...
He was a great guy and worked and managed at my store for several years before recently moving to a different company. The folks at my store still keep in good contact with him, mainly because a large number of former employees work at this company.
A few days ago, he was busted for internal theft. I'm not talking minor theft either--several thousand dollars worth. It is even worse because he did this on federal property.
And I just can't believe it. I am in so much shock that I cried. How could he do this? He is such a sweet, nice guy and he always worked so hard. He has a lovely family and I know that money was always tight for them.
Now, everyone at the store that knew him is asking questions..."Did he steal from us?" "Did we give him too much leeway?" "How do we treat him?" "What should we do?"
This was the kind of guy that...if you had a problem, you would go to him for advice. He was so trusted that everyone pretty much let him do what he wanted.
I want to help him...some co-workers are talking about raising money to help with possible fines that he might have to pay. I don't know. I don't even think I'm angry at him--I'm just so disappointed.
