I got caught stealing from work and got fired, help!!?
You stole from your employer. Of course you're going to get fired. That's a no brain-er. English is not your first language. You don't have to speak English fluently to know that stealing is wrong - a crime. Do you have a drivers license? Have you signed a lease agreement? If so, you know English well enough. If you had any questions about what you were signing because you don't speak English well, then you should have asked them to read it to you and explain it. Sorry, but the "English is not my first language" dog don't hunt. If you had stolen $120 worth or merchandise from a retail store you were shopping in, the retail store would have called the cops and prosecuted you too. Why do you think your employer would be any different? Sorry, but this is a hole you dug yourself. Your supervisor did not take advantage of you. You created this mess with your bad decisions. Once you plead guilty or get convicted of the theft (and you will - they have the written statement you provided and what ever proof tipped them off about your theft in the first place). Then you will have a criminal record for that incident. The penalty will most likely be a fine and restitution. You may want to talk to an attorney and see what the charge is and if the attorney can work out a plea bargain and get it reduced. In the end, this will be a very expensive lesson for you. It will cost a lot more then the $120 item you stole. However, life will go on and you will learn from this and hopefully never do it again.
Should I have been fired from work for accepting a tip?
So I'm 17 and I worked at a grocery store as a cashier for around 2 years. Yesterday this one old customer was like "awe you're such a sweet girl" and gave me a 5 dollar tip. At first I declined it, but she insisted, so I took the tip and put it in my uniform pocket. Apparently a supervisor saw and informed my head supervisor, who later called me over the phone on the till and told me that I can't accept tips, so I said "okay, sorry about that". Then today I show up for my shift at work and they told me to return my uniform and not come back?? I asked why and they said that I was "stealing money"? What in the fck? Accepting a tip from a customer is not stealing money. Plus when I was trained, they never told us what to do if a customer gave a tip, so I assumed it was okay for us to accept. But I still got fired?? Can I sue or something?
What to do if I don't like to work?
The reason you don't like to work is because you are doing work that you don't like to do, possibly in a place where you don't want to be. In a major city, traffic congestion has become a major issue, and by the time you arrive at work, you are already worn out and feeling unhappy with life, and then the traffic congestion going home makes matters worse. The boss might be a jerk, and overtime on short notice can ruin plans that were previously made. So the answer to your question is to find work that you like to do. Try to find an employer close to home, and develop your business skills so that you have the option of going into business for yourself. A $1000-dollar initial investment isn't very much for start-up capital. There are easy things you can do with very little money that earn some money for you. You could buy a Heat Transfer Press and make Tee Shirts and Marketing products, such as Coffee Mug with advertising. In the long run, you are better off getting a 2-year and a 4-year college degree, because those jobs that require higher education are better. They treat you better and pay more money. A business degree might be good for you. Also consider your hobbies, such as the question, what is it you like to do? Do you like sports, bike riding, hiking, tinkering with electronics, model trains, etc. Sometimes a hobby can be converted into a Hobby-Business which might eventually turn into a real business. There is a famous Chinese proverb. A man who loves his work, never works a day in his life. Always mix work with fun. Make a list of fun things you like to do, and find ways of doing fun and rewarding things on a regular basis as part of your weekly schedule. Even a bad job is not so bad if you have balance in your life. A single person prefers to have eligible single people around them in the work place however dating coworkers puts your job at risk, but does in fact make for a happier working situation, when you have eligible people around you within your age bracket who might have similar interests. Working in that type of environment, even if you are married, can still be a lot more fun, as a result of having nice people and like-minded people around you.
I’m being sacked out of a job. I haven’t saved enough money as I’m paying home & personal loan every month. I have a newly born baby. What should I do now to immediately survive? I’m searching for a job for the last 1.6 years but no luck.
Best advice I ever received on how to get a job is to treat getting a job as a job itself. No sleeping in, no casual dress, no taking it easy. You’re not on vacation.Sounds a little harsh, but true. Go out to businesses and ask if they’re hiring. Most won’t be. But the most important question to ask after that is if they know anyone who is. Most business owners know several others. There is a good chance that Joe or Janet down the street is probably hiring. And most likely you would have never known unless you asked.This day and age there should be a state job board online you can subscribe to. Also start looking at the websites of companies you’re interested in working in.If you need income look at temp agencies, and look at the skills you are able to offer. I made ends meet for a while from my 10 key skills.Make sure to keep paying your cellphone bill. You’re going to need it.
I got fired from work for stealing but i never stole anything, would this affect my future employment?
so i worked in a company were i did the deposits everyday, which was like 5 to 18 thousands, a day. One day when i went to pick up the money from another store i forgot to count all the money. When i arrived at the back i had $400.00 over. so i took them back but i didnt tell my boss(my biggest mistake) because i was gonna put it in the next day to wat ever account it was missing from. i guess i thought 400 was too much and i was gonna get in trouble for not couting the money. So the next day i deposited the money into the account that it was missing from. so i never stole anything, but they found out and i got fired for stealing. And its really embarassing for me, at this point i feel helpless. like i wont get employed again. Because i wanna apply to become a cop but i knw i wont be able to with something like this. i called my ex-boss and i ask her, what she was gonna say is they ever called her, and she said, " that you were stealing money" but i didnt steal anything.
I was just fired for embezzling money from my previous job. How should I approach applying for jobs in the same industry?
If your previous job had you bonded as part of it, you’re toast. That revocation of bond will show up in any administrative background check performed, especially if you are going to be in a position to handle money and will need to be bonded again.I work in the financial industry and I can tell you that if you are dismissed for cause for embezzlement (one of the big “crash landings”), you’ll never work in the financial industry again. Or the insurance industry. Or as a McDonald’s cashier. Anywhere where you need to be trusted to handle and manage money on behalf of someone else.What people don’t know is financial institutions don’t usually charge people with embezzlement unless the sums are significant and/or it becomes a public matter that cannot be ignored (i.e. trader skipping town after losing $1B).The reason for lack of charges is simple: People would lose confidence in the institution. After all, if they can’t prevent their employees from stealing, why should an average person trust them to safeguard their money?So they simply fire you for cause, get their insurance to make good on the loss, revoke your bond and note the reason why. So now when you go to apply to any job that will require a bond to handle money, that revocation will show up on any background check performed against you for that purpose. Which means no one will insure you to handle money ever again.Having this happen in the financial industry is like having a dishonorable discharge from the military. It’s going to follow you for the rest of your life. You can’t outrun it and you can’t hide it. It will pop up should you ever seek employment in this area again.I have seen people destroy their futures over $50 or $100 of embezzled funds.As a result, I recommend you seek another industry to work in. Handling money isn’t for you and it won’t be outside of your own business because no one will trust you to do it. Embezzlement is serious stuff. You’re lucky you’re not sitting in a jail cell but just because you aren’t doesn’t mean it is no big deal. Your problems in this area are probably just starting.I’d take stock of my skills and seek opportunities elsewhere. Well away from what got you into trouble in the first place.
How do top football managers make money when they have been sacked and without a job?
They generally have insurance policies that compensate them that they can fall back on for a while (maybe a year - 18 months). When those run out they do what they need to do to make ends meet either in or outwith the game. After good careers and pay-offs some may not need to work again. Most do, and rely on their network of formal and informal contacts to help them get new jobs.
If you work at a store, and it gets robbed while you're on duty, can you get fired?
As a rule, NO, unless you are doing something wrong.BY “Wrong” I mean (for most places) - fighting the robbers (not worth risking your life/lives of your customers or co-workers for insured money), possessing a weapon (most stores do not allow clerks to arm themselves, thinking it would escalate a situation), CASH CONTROLS (THIS IS THE BIG ONE! IF YOUR DRAWER IS COUNTED DOWN, AND YOU HAD MORE MONEY THAN IS ALLOWED PER POLICY, THEN YOU COULD BE FIRED.)If you follow all the procedures MOST PLACES will not hold it against you.Most managers/owners KNOW that stores are good candidates for robbery. That is why there are usually cameras and a money-drop safe.The best advice I can give (as a former retail worker, assistant manager) is MAKE THAT CASH DROP per policy, and FOLLOW THE RULES.Be aware that most of the cameras the stores have are not to catch criminals, but to lower insurance rates. Keep your eyes open, pay attention, take no risks. The camera is unlikely to catch the person who harms you.In almost all cases, the money is the goal, and the money is Not Yours. Give the criminals the cash and be safe.
Can a cashier get fired for accepting fake bills?
can you? YES will you? if you followed all cash handling policies & procedures, and do not have a cash over/under history/problem you almost certainly will NOT be.... whether or not you are fired you will almost certainly be written up, just remember that this write up is a written record of what happened and it does NOT mean anything bad unless you continue to have cash handling issues... if/when you are counseled about the shortage do NOT argue about it, do NOT take offense, and sign the counseling form, learn from this and move on......
