Need some help/ legal advice maybe

@Boxersix"

Chock it up and eat the $75. You messed up. Unless you have concrete proof this guy took the cash you’re not going to go anywhere with that except waste more time and money in doing so. Take responsibility for your actions.

And one life lesson…if you don’t like the answers you receive, don’t go asking the questions

no i understand, talked to an old professor from siena who is an attorney and since its part of my job to collect money/checks then i was withheld responsible.

@pitman

i would quit. that would probally save you a headache or two. esp if the hours are working for you.

also you are responsible for the cash i would think.

if you borrowed my lawn mower and forgot to return it then later found out some random dude stole it while it was in your possession i would be pissed. your responsible. but make sure to let that guy on the second shift know hes a jerk and hire strong arm to shake him a bit if you want revenge. or set him up with another envlope with cash and see if that dude takes it. some sherlock holms shit

but dont take my advice. i am no legal lawyer and you should make the best decision. this is just advice on how i would approach it.

good idea but heres the thing, every person is in a different van almost everyday so it could be anybody…

@Shady

Paying the $75 bucks admitting it was your responsibility (which it was) and apologizing says something good about your character…

Fighting it, saying you did not take it whether you did so or not without any sort of proof simply makes it look like you’re the one who took it in most employers eyes.

exactly

@GD3Skier

Agree with what everyone said.

But who in the world steals a check made out to a company? I’d understand more if it was cash.

thought it was a check ( like i said it was in an envelope) but ended up being cash… i didn’t know because i didn’t open the envelope since its not really my business as whats in it.

it just sucks because it was cash. if it was a check there wouldn’t be an issue

@Shady

Hmm I thought he said it was cash… Then he does say check. If that were the case I’d (if I were the company) call the lady to verify that a check was given and to have her ask her bank if it was cashed yet, I would then simply ask if she could write another

Dock the person (in this case pete) the 75 bucks, and if it checks out re-imburst him once the check is in hand.

Or keep both and teach a valuable life lesson rofl:rofl

thats what i would do if it was a damn check :banghead:banghead

@JSEnclosures

this. $75 is much less than you’d pay trying to fight this

never planned on fighting it, just wanted some feedback on the situation

@JSEnclosures

quiting after being accused of stealing makes you look guilty though

and thats why it sucks lol

@love4boost

agree, but why should he care? He will never see those people ever again and nothing would come of it as its only $75… If its somewhere where his family works or something related like that where you have to keep a good name, then you pay the $75 and work it out.

Problem is that it is a family friend who hooked me up with the job. (she does the billing there)

@jdaniels

Don’t pay for that shit. I can’t stand being accused of something I didn’t do, to the point that I’d probably come completely unglued if my boss accused me of stealing a $75 check.

FUCK EM

such a shitty situation

@car ramrod

I love everyone telling him to fuck the business…as if they did anything wrong. He was responsible for the money, forgot it, now it’s gone.

exactly and its gotta come out of my pocket

@KrazyKid

Pete, how long did you work at this place?

IE, if you take these peoples advice and tell them to fuck off I quit, how big a hole will there be in your resume?

started 2nd week in jan? huge hole as i have a pretty decent resume and that last thing i want is for this to bite me in the ass in the long run

sooo anyways i rolled thru there today to talk to the lady in charge of the billing and just gave her the 75$. fuck it, its whatever.

oh the job hunt continues again…:lol
