The other night at work,  it was only 2 of us in the office,  I had went out to smoke,  and when I got off that night,  I noticed that I was missing a 5 dollar bill.  I know that I had with me before I came in to work.  This persons last day is going to be this coming weekend,  should I ask her about it,  or just let it go?

let it go... if she did take it, she probably needs it more than you.

I would just send out a company wide memo that says: All employees are  to put their names on their lunches...and any lunches(or leftovers) will be tossed on Fridays.  Somebody may have accidentally taken the lunch...maybe it looked similar to theirs...OR maybe you have an employee who isn't well off financially and really needed the food. There is no sense accusing people of stealing. Sending a polite memo to all is usually enough to let people know something happened...and that it is being taken care of. The offending party also knows..and probably will feel guilty and wont do it again!

I tell them I was not expecting you! I am really not up to company right now. ____day would be much better. Could you come in the morning or afternoon?(smiling):)\n\nSomething along those lines. I don't like to fabricate stories and I am not afraid to hurt feelings as it is extremely rude to stop by any ones home unannounced.\n\nGuarantee it won't happen again.

Confront her on it.  Maybe something came up.  Maybe she was blowing you off.  You never know unless you ask.  Do go around wondering "What if?"

Its obvious you put in a lot of thought but maybe you could have got a card and pretended you couldn't afford anything else its a much better way.  I'm sure your other half didn't want to be angry with you but when you're angry its really hard to switch off, plus you mentioned she'd been drinking and i can promise you that probably made it much worse. if i thought that someone had forgotten an anniversary I'd be upset and angry. you can't change the past though so just remember that in the future

Something you forgot to mention was who is your boss at the post where you are now. If you want to take your boss out make sure you're not stepping on anyone's toes, you don't want to create drama for yourself. Also are you in a position where you should offer to take him out or are you just doing it to try to get into a better position? He will most likely pick up on your motive. Well if you are in the position to do so then go for it. If you know what he is into, lets say sports, keep it casual and take him to a sports bar for a few drinks and food after work. Or you could go out to lunch, just give him a few options, describe each one and let him choose the place. Of course ask for the check at the end first and pay. If he insists on paying let him, he is the boss. Just keep your cool and don't be uptight. good luck

Steal from them. (No please don't that was a joke.)  If you didn't get it in writing there is reallly nothing you can do.  Go back to JC Penny and find out if the position is still open, explain to the why you didn't take it the first time.  Hopefully they'll understand.

I would tell him exactly what you wrote here. It's difficult for both the person leaving and the people left behind. Just remember that sometimes you have to play the politcal game at work and you probably won't be able to say anything to upper mgmt about how you feel.

Always ask yourself this question, "Can I do anything about this?"  If the answer is yes, then do it, if the answer is no, then don't bother stressing about it.  In this case, I think the answer is yes, just talk to your replacement and tell him you've decided not to quit after all, end of problem.

this is gonna be impossible to prove , the fact is your car was there around that time , and you arguement that it was only a matter of minutes will work both ways , you say 6;59 she says 7;04 , if you go in saying you were there at 6;59 that is like admiting guilt ......... you are gona lose time from work going to court  and a letter is a laughable defense ....... just pay the cash and move the car at 6;30 next time

well how much money are we talking about here? If its over 500 bucks I wouldnt do it. If you are good friends it could ruin your  friendship. I had let a friend borrow 1500 bucks and had to fight tooth and nail to get it back and I'll tell you what? I dont feel the same about the friend anymore. Just my suggestion..

I would go to my boss and ask why the money was taken out. I would also ask him as a courtesy to please notify me in advance if my paycheck was going to be short for any reason so as not to screw up my bill payments and other expenses.\n\nIf I was not happy with my boss's answer, I would hire a lawyer and claim that I was constructively dismissed.\n\nThen I would sue the company.

It depends on the items that are missing.  If it's money that's missing and being embezzeled, just go past your superiors and straight to the cops.  If it's company property that's missing such as office supplies or sales merchandise and you've gone through the proper channels then that's about all you can do.  I would recommend that you document everything you notice.  Make sure to include dates, times and names if possible.  Then you would have it as backup if anybody were to try and accuse you.

ok. there are 3 guys who go on a road trip. they go into the hotel and its $30.00 even for the room. so each guy pays 10.00. (10 x 3 =30)\nwhile they are in the room the checkin girl realizes its only $25.00 for the room. so she grabs 5 one dollar bills and goes up to the room. she realizes that 5 does not divide by 3 evenly. so she taked $2.00 and puts them in her pocket. as she knocks at the door she feels guilty and pulls the $2.00 out of her pocket. they ended up giving her 2 dollars and kept 3. if each guy gets 1 dollar back then instead of 10 they paid 9 each for the room. ( $9 x 3 = 27)\n27 + 2 (tip they gave lady) = $29.00\n\nWHERES THE LAST DOLLAR??????????????

Q1 - I would say that this was pretty un-important so I'd rate it a 1. After all the General Manager can do what they like, they are the boss and if they did not feel that they wanted to inform the employee before hand then it is up to them. It probably would have been a nice gesture to let employee A (if that is their real name, which I doubt, lol) know what his intentions were before hand as this would have created a good feeling in employee A as they are kept informed of the situations, but it is not essential for the manager to do so. Also the manager has no responsability to say anything to the employee A about what he did, but again to keep the employees happy it would be nice for them to apologise and tell them the reason that they didn't inform them before hand. Maybe the manager forgot, or maybe they only just made the decision before the meeting and they hadn't seen employee A between the meeting and the decision in order to tell them.\n\nQ2 - It really depends on what the meeting is about. If it is a crucial meeting then the best thing to do would be to lie to the boss. Tell them that there was an accident on the way to work (not involving you) and you got stuck in traffic for ages, or that you are having car trouble, or you were on the phone to the hospital, or you could even say that you were on an important business call with a very important client, but make sure that you have a full story to tell incase they ask for more details. The severity on this offense is probably around 2.5 to 3. Just make sure that the first thing you say is 'I'm really really sorry I'm late, but...........'\n\nQ3 - This is probably a severity 1 rating. Everyone has off days and if you have to keep telling your kids the same thing it gets annoying what ever mood you are in. When you calm down from the situation just speak to your child and tell them you are sorry that you shouted at them, and explain that you got mad because you have told them several times before. Make sure that you offer to go through the problem again with them now so that they can understand, and make sure that they listen properly this time. They probably will liten this time as they won't want to be shouted at again.\n\nHope this is all ok for you, have a nice day.

Owning up to your mistake is always the best. Be as apologetic as possible about it, demonstrating responsibility and regret. I've made two crucial mistakes in the past month. I sold the wrong Rx to the wrong person, although it was a fellow workmate picking up her mom's prescription (She brought back the Rx), and I closed the store before a customer could get their medicine (We had to close early, but I forgot that the customer was coming at the last minute). You just have to apologize and never argue with the call. If you do it looks like you are trying to wriggle out of a mistake you made. When management starts to try to right a wrong, they look at the first task, which is helping the employee understand how they need to act differently next time. If they see this is achievable, that makes them happy, actually.

Definitely wait. You called once and she didn't have an answer for you then, If you call again, ahe might get a little annoyed. Also, she said they were discussing it that day, so if she didn't call by now, look elsewhere.
