myLot reputation of 98/100. tigeraunt (3480)   ranked 320 out of 19,197 in relationships 3 years ago

i know this friend since college days hence referred her to the company where i am working. that was 5 years ago. she has two small kids, one 7 years old and another one 1 year old. her live-in partner has no job. she just had experienced the floods and have asked the office for cash advance and have borrowed from several other persons for the purpose of repairing her house. now she is suspended from work for alleged theft and misappropriation of construction materials. shocked
if you were me would you show compassion and leave the matter, or would you initiate her termination because she has embarrased you for breach of trust?

Since you referred her does this mean you are her boss? If you are her boss and responsible for firing her because of theft this is serious and I would just sever the friendship. It is sad and I am sorry she is going through so much difficulty but there are other courses of action she could have taken such as asking for assistnace from government agencies or from her church and other community agencies. I would not feel embarrased if I were you as you played no part in her decision.

dear muscles4me,

i referred her, but i am not her boss. she was assigned to another department. after the incident, i had a chance to talk with her personally (out of the office) and she said she is being framed. that answer have pulled spikes from my heart. i told her to go to the hearing (a procedure under the labor laws before an employee can be terminated for cause) scheduled for her and present evidences to clear her name.
told her i will be praying for her.

Ya know, I CAN believe her as on my last job my supervisor wrote up false write ups on me. Write ups did not have to be discussed with the employee before they were turned in. I quit due to illness in the fanily and I let them know I would want to return a few months later. When I went back the higher ups tld me about the write ups. They also give me a BAD employmnet record to any other company that calls for a reference so I can not list them. I wish yourfriend the best.

Things like that happen, and it could have happened to me, but I proved myself not guilty to the director of nursing. Apparently someone was giving mis-measuring.. or maybe stealing doses of liquid Prozac in the nursing home I worked for. All the nurses were looking at me and trying to get the DON to look at me as the guilty part... and I said.. "Why would I have any contact with liquid prozac? I don't give it! It's not a scheduled med for my shift!".. it did come to a head and the guilty nurse was caught and gracefully terminated... she was given a chance to quit, rather than to being fired.

hi,
i believe she is clean but on how to prove it, she had to work on it really well. i went on leave during the time when the case was about to be heard. she knew it. i said to the management that i cannot join the panel because of some sickness (blahblah).
the boss gave her the chance to resign without much funfare because she could not prove herself.
she called me afterwards. she said she is sorry. told her, am still a friend. i got to see her after that. told her to start again. it will be difficult but i will be there to help her out.

You say you have known this friend since childhood and therefore the fact that you stayed as friends shows that she had the qualities that you desired a friend to have. Now she is going thru hard times and this led her to do what you call breach of trust. Where is breach of trust here? She is desperate and when one is desperate they do unimagineable things. I would suggest that you try and help her out in whatever way you can You could initiate a drive to get her out of her present condition such as collecting funds from well wishers, etc.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tigeraunt (3480)   ranked 320 out of 19,197 in relationships  3 years ago

dear allknowing,

there is really a good thing with discussion.
this friend of mine talked to me and said she is innocent. she said she is being framed.
i told her to face this case and i hope she can disprove the allegations.
told her i will pray for her and i will stay her friend.

Hi Ann i am really sorry to hear this , you certainly did good by referring her to get a job, it was so nice, as she is in need of money she has borrowed money from friends and requested your office for cash advance, but this suspension is certainly a blow for her, may be she is honest... you should try to help her , you should never initiate for her termination.. rather plead for her honesty... remember ... 'A friend in need is a friend indeed', God will help you for this act of yours lol..... Thank you so much for this post. lol. I enjoyed responding to it, rasp . Cheers surrender

hi ann,

every body must face problems in life,but that person must be strong in good faith,she/he does not loose faith with the friend,due to your friend you have some to face regrets from your company,you can help her if she asked you regarding money for repair of her house,findout she is surely spent that money for house purpose only,or she purchase luxury things,have a nice day


myLot reputation of 98/100. tigeraunt (3480)   ranked 320 out of 19,197 in relationships  3 years ago

dear yugasini,
when this friend told me that she doesnt know what to do and that she is very desperate, my heart went jelly and i know she needed a friend. after a few more talks, she said she is being framed.
this coming monday, december 7, she will face an inquiry.
i hope she disproved the allegations against her person.
told her i am still a friend.

any one who has self-fish reasons will do everything in their power to bring her down? for what reason it is and it was? too bad for some one who has kids. it's hard to deal with a lot of people now that most like every one is a LOOSE CANNON.

dear rebelotter,
the only person trying to pin her down now is the scrap buyer.
what is his reason, that i still do not know.

if she hasn't involved in that theft you should help her(as she is your friend for many years so you must have an idea about her character) for sure coz its you who have refered her to your office so its your responsibility to take care of her and help her to get out of this situation standing by her coz it might have some impact on you as well coz you are the one who refered so try to help herhappy.gud day.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tigeraunt (3480)   ranked 320 out of 19,197 in relationships  3 years ago

Hi, Ann! She must be someone who you can count on and have known for many years, that's why you have referred her to work with your company before. So, I think you should not leave the matter if you care about her as a friend who helps a friend when in trouble. It doesn't mean that you support her action, but if it makes you feel better, investigate and listen to what she has to say about this, and then decide from there.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tigeraunt (3480)   ranked 320 out of 19,197 in relationships  3 years ago

hi, she was terminated, the boss saying that he has lost his trust and without much funfare after giving her the chance to prove herself.
i said our friendship is still there and she can count on me to help her start again.

If you are her boss then you have to act as her boss when it comes to the work situation.
If you are not her boss than I would distance myself to avoid suspicions onto you. I know when I had a friend who was my BFF up until such things happened at my work. She got me the job and a few months later she wrote a bad check to work and did not pay it back, played dumb that someone else was supposed to put the money in her account ect. Well turns out she didn't have a drivers lic and a few other things came out that put her in a very bad light. Then my boss had questioned me since I was new on the job about what I knew. I didn't know anything about her actions and asked to stay out of it. It's like the person I grew up with was nothing but lies. Now days I don't associate with her other than exchanging holiday cards once a year.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tigeraunt (3480)   ranked 320 out of 19,197 in relationships  3 years ago

hi,
am very glad that she was not under the department i am in or else i will become her direct superior.
she was given a chance to be heard but wasnt able to prove her innocence. she was terminated due to loss of trust.
i have talked with her after that, i said i am still a friend.

It's very subjective. You have known her for so long so was she a person of such a bad reputation since years ago?


myLot reputation of 98/100. tigeraunt (3480)   ranked 320 out of 19,197 in relationships  3 years ago

hello,
ive known her way back my college days. i knew of her previous work and employers and she didnt find any problem with her work.
its just so sad that things like this is happening. but i told her that i will be her friend. i will visit her again when i get time. hopefully on christmas day.

Hi Ann, From what you say, it has not yet been proved that she was taking from the company, so we only have one side of the story. I wouldn't rush into this, but if she is guilty, it would be very difficult for you, and also hard for you to show her any compassion. Good luck. Mike.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tigeraunt (3480)   ranked 320 out of 19,197 in relationships  3 years ago

hi mike,
her side was heard but she wasnt able to parry the accusation. she got terminated for lack of trust.
so sad.
