Chronicle Of Blog Visitor Narrative.....

Hmmmmmmmm........






STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
ONCE BITTEN......



Hello Stella,


I really don't know where this will fall, but kindly post where you deem fit. I started my personal business exactly 6 months ago and to be honest, it's been thriving beyond my very imagination, Glory to God Almighty. 



 My customer base and sales has tripled tremendously. When I first started, I usually take stock every week and at every point I need to pre-order I take stock again. However, due to expansion in sales I decided to make it every 2 weeks. Please note that I'm always at the store daily and the longest I was away since inception was in August when I traveled with hubby for just a week. 



Now, I have this young lady I employed from the very on set of the business, reason was I will need an helping hand in order to bit other competitors. This we achieved in 6months hence the growth. In all fairness, she's been very helpful, devoted, committed etc. Think of anything, she's been it. 


On my path, I have been very dear to her. Took her as a sister, I buy her so many goodies, I tip her. Whenever sales on a particular day was so massive I give her something to compensate. On the basis of salary, I pay her a good wage based on her qualification. Infact, I pay her the exact amount she requested for when I hired her.



 I give her breakfast every morning and give transportation fare when she's going home. I encourage her to further in her education, infact she's running a NCE. I allow her to attend lectures and all whilst I oversee business in order that there exist no loopholes. Can't even say other personal things I've done and still doing for her. 


Now I had this shocker on Tuesday, I was taking stock and discovered that she had painted the stock book, meaning she canceled some quantities supplied with a corresponding cancellation on the price of the goods. This got me furious. I asked her immediately and she told me it was because some customers weren't decisive on the quantities they wanted hence the cancellation.


 It didn't even occur to me to check my personal book if the total cash I received those days corresponded with the quantities she canceled out. Friends, I trusted her beyond every reasonable doubt, I just couldn't even bring myself to believe she could be stealing from me.
 Then on Wednesday I resumed for business as usual and felt prompted within my spirit to start taking stocks from day one


 I opened for business. Lo and behold I saw the greatest shock, this lady has been stealing from me since the second month of inception. At the end of every business day I collect cash and check whether quantities are at par, which always they are. Apparently what she does whenever I need to take stock is, she fills in other quantities she sold but not declared to me. 



I didn't know this because for every time I take stock I only check quantities and not re-do cash calculations again since i do that daily. On this very day of going back to old records, i started by counting each daily supply and discovered that the cash that corresponds was higher than the amount in my own records. Then I saw it all clear that she's been fraudulent which she singularly admitted to without any argument. 


          The issue now is I don't know what to do with her. I know she's in deer need of the job for her personal upkeep. I really do like her a lot. She has wept and apologised to me and hubby but I'm not just having it based on how open I was with her. However, a part of me is just empathetic and kinda feel for her. 


Hubby wants me to give her another chance and step up my accountability mode with her. I am just confused but I'd like to help her to have a good footing in life. Sincere advice and good criticisms are welcomed. What will you suggest I do?

Thanks all.



You can settle her to go her way but please do not employ her again..let Once bitten twice shy be your watch word

    1. My dear, we just sent the boy who works for us away because of this same fraudulent issue, he writes what he sells in the page that has already be calculated. For a month this boy had gone away with nothing less that 300k, that was last year, we gave him another chance and this same August he started the same thing, he was in charge for two weeks and this guy barely accounted for anything, he eventfully confessed and this time was sent away.
      If you ask me I will say just send her away now, get another person and get cameras in your store so that the next person would behave

    2. Something similar happened to my mum. Her girl stocks my mum's shop with her own goods. If she sells one for my mum she will sell 3 of hers.

      Somehow she was caught.

      Madam,send her away. You can help her find her foot outside your shop. If you leave her she go wreck you this time around.

  2. Poster, don't you think she'd do worse if you employ her again? She will say afterall she begged you the first time and you accepted. So she will do it again and continue begging until the biz crumble. Pls let her go. You don't need such a toxic in your life right now.

  3. exactly @ Stella i agree with you.

  4. Please let her go. She is not a good hearted person. You’ve been a good boss and she’s been stealing so comfortably. In business you have to be shrewd and put your emotions aside. She’s lucky you aren’t even getting the law involved. Let her leave and sin no more from afar. This will teach her a lesson in life.

    You on your part should be very vigilant with your staff. Don’t be too trusting because there are too many crafty and greedy people these days.

  5. Pls ma, kindly settle her I.e by giving her a little cash . pls don't employ her , she may strategize another means. Assume its not a fraudulent act I would have told u to reemploy her, but since it that pls let her go.

  6. She will be more brutal in playing you out... she can go extreme; she won't be able to meet up with her former lifestyle so she could do ugly things.
    I would have said you should pray and see what your heart tells you but you and hubby are already sentimental... so no need.

  7. Hmm! This is dicey if you ask me o, but I can see you really love her, please be careful cos there is a tendency she might change for a bit to regain your trust while devising a bigger scheme

  8. Dont come back next time she strikes u really hard. A word is enough for the wise

  9. And to add up with what I stated above. U can still assist her in her education if u want to but don't employ her again. I just don't know why some humans can't just be honest and trust Worthy

  10. Poster, I'm really sorry but it's time to cut loose and I sincerely understand your predicament. That was what ran my dad down till death..."umu boi and trust". In the meantime encourage and urge your friends / customers to pay via payporte ( put a notice up), up your stock keeping game, AND START LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT IN 2 MONTHS. They come in sheep's regalia them wolves. Please don't endanger your life. I don't trust the lady. Love her from afar and keep supporting her financially when you can.

  11. Dear Poster please let her go! You don't need such person I . your business she is a thief. You need to search for another staff there are still some honest people out there. How much exactly did she steal so far? No matter how small she will steal again then run away by then you will be wise

    ReplyDelete
  12. Madam, you have forgiven her by not handing her over to the police If her conscience could not prick her to stop stealing from you after all the good things you have done for her.
    Let her Go and search for job elsewhere. Let her learn her lessons.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Dear poster, please kindly give her another chance.
    She is sorry and has begged you for forgiveness please listen to her.
    The thing is you've got her and she has promised not to try it again, I believe she won't since you've always treated her fine.
    How sure are you of the next person.
    Give her another chance and she'd be grateful all her life.
    We all at one one point or the other needs a second chance to something, today you're in the position to oblige someone of that, do not withhold it.

    Do you know how often we wrong our creator but he still go ahead to bless us even when we don't deserve it.

    #JustThinking
    What if the girl was actually the star or should I say luck behind the success. Yes, some people has that gift. That's by the way!

    Although I don't her but I still feel for her.
    Dear poster, may God bless you abundantly as give her another chance.

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Poster, the biggest mistake you will make is taking the above advise. Send that girl away with nothing! So next time she gets help/kindness from people, she will know trust is vital. People keep misusing opportunities because they know, when they beg and cry crocodile tears, soft hearted people will forgive. Teach her a lesson in life: you dont bite the fingers that feeds you and expect not to go hungry. Fire her without remorse!

  14. I think you should give her another chance. She might have learnt her lesson. But be more vigilant.

  15. Please let her go she only feel bad because she was caught.

  16. If she had started and stopped when she realized you were giving her lots of freebies, it would be different to me. But she continued. send her away

    1. Exactly. Please do not be sentimental in business. Also, after letting her go, let your customers know she no longer works for you...that kind of person can fraudulently collect money and you'll be on the hook. Please be wise. Life no get duplicate

  17. No sentimental in business @ Poster..
    Let her go..

  18. You can still give her another chance. Let he who is without sin be the first to cast a stone. Some people repent and never go back to thier vomit. I stole from my mom's shop i was caught dealth with by my dad and hitherto I have not stolen a pin from anybody. No sensible person will repeat the same mistake again and once again once bitten twice shy. She won't repeat it again. Selah

    1. I bet if you werent dealt with by your Dad, you still would have kept stealing. How else do you think the poster can deal with a thieving staff? By beating her or firing her? Una no know how painful it is for one to cheat you in a business you are trying to run in the midst of stiff competition. That girl is an experienced thief. If you like, Madam Poster keep her, the next one go be when she invite her gang come raid your shop.

    2. But how do we know that the thief here is sensible?

  19. Dear poster, i was once like you, but not as lucky as you are. My business was ruined and destroyed by my sales girl and his boyfriend, and they went and open theirs. Luckily i had some savings in the bank and had to travel out of the country.Doing much better. Please let her go, you can't help everyone.

    PLEASE LET HER GO. She will step up and stealing game to version 2.0. And you will be sorry.

  23. Poster you need to be very careful. My aunt had a very devoted shop lady like yours. My aunty took her like a daughter,trust her even more than her own family. Even when people have warned my aunt that there is something odd about this lady my aunty will fight the person. Stock started disappearing,money too, my aunty will make excuses for her,even when she was caught stealing she will shed crocodile tears. My aunty will take her back because she was just too lazy to look for someone new. My aunty travels for months anytime her children give birth.
    Anyway they hired a small girl to be assisting her. That was how out of the blues the small girls father called my aunt. That he has to report something. That the lady made his young daughter to swear with a charm in the shop. She always gives the girl a share of what she steals. And the swearing was so to have her allegiance. And he doesnt want such for his daughter,so the daughter is quitting.
    Anyway the lady was finally sacked because I'm sure she was even doing something diabolical to my aunt because even when people have been complaining about her for years. My aunty will fight the person.
    You need to be really careful poster. I can't personally have peace of mind hiring a thief because your mind will never be at rest.

  25. OK,my advice is this she should bring referees (2)those that will stand for her ,if she has not done that before her assumption (promise you will not tell them what she did in the first place)in case she absconds with you money the referees will help in locating her then give her a second chance,thanks God bless your good heart,BV Amicable

  26. What kind of business are u into,if possible get a card for each product to fill in goods supplied and sold.give her a 2nd chance but be watchful.

  27. Giving her a second chance is like giving her a loaded gun to blow your head off.
    Pay her off and let her go in peace, learn from this and give the next worker a close mark.
    Wish you success.

    1. She shouldn’t even pay her off.. her pay off is that she didn’t hand her over to the police!!!

  28. To me I will ask her to go cos stealing is like cheating or a man hitting his wife, she will still do it no matter what you do to her, that spirit is already there, she will not change but she may change her strategy of stealing from you, settle her but not immediately, watch her like two months and pay her off when she less expect .

    You can employ another girl to make them two, reason is that you let her train the new girl and after a while you sack her. You are a good woman but the girl you are dealing with does not fear God or consider you to be a good person, just close your eyes and fire her else she will steal the worst from you, except you will be more watchful.

    1. She will show the new girl her bad ways and spoil that one for you

    2. Never bring a sales girl or house girl to work with the one you want to sack. She will poison the new person's mind about you and the second person most times, will not stay. Better to start afresh. Lay down your rules and cut down famzing with the new person.

  29. Madam please forgive being that shes aware you know what she's capable of doing. I believe she wont do it again.she will be more than sincere to you from now henceforth but still give her a close look.

  30. Give her a second chance but be very very vigilant.

  31. Please let her go the next time she might take your customers

  32. What! I can't believe you are even contemplating letting her stay on. Thankfully you caught her now when you can still recover. Man is inherently selfish so no matter how well you think you are treating them they will continuously ultimately look out for themselves. A family friend's business crashed because of trust, they forgave the employee the first time after having stolen from them for years, she behaved for some months...guess what 6 months down the line after all had been forgotten she emptied the company's account and disappeared till this date! A word is enough for the wise.

    ReplyDelete
  33. SEND HER AWAY.
    Is it when they prepare charm and destroy you and your shop completely that you will have sense??
    Somebody was stealing from you despite all the freebies and tips you were giving her? Breakfast, transportation when going home, free to attend lectures etc etc.
    If you were mistreating her or limiting it to just your salary, hmmmmm, na here you for dey hustle for recharge card.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Dear poster, I don't believe you have discovered all that she has stolen from you yet. You have to let her go for your own good and sanity because she will get smarter with figures and hide her stealings more. There are many good people out there looking for jobs, believe me you will get one and even if the next person isn't good enough, keep changing until you have what/who you deserve. Before one small girl will ruin your hard earned business for you oh

    ReplyDelete
  35. LET HER GO ! A THIEF IS A THIEF.
    Get CCTV cameras installed in your shop/ store. Employ another person, there are also many other people who needs jobs to cater for themselves and won't steal. She is too wicked. This is pure biting the fingers that fed you. Be there doing feely for her feely for her until she wreck you. Let me tell you, if allow that babe near your shop again she is coming for the final part. She will clean you out and disappear, your name will change to sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  36. People can just ask some annoying questions sometimes .
    Which one is should you forgive her and keep her? If you have shown her so much kindness and there was no pang of guilt in stealing unrepentantly for 4 months, then she is only sorry she got caught.
    She is apologizing because she is saying "I'm sorry for not being smart enough, I'll steal more carefully next time".



    Be like an Igbo business man, you cannot dare joke with your source of livelihood. Are you mad, insane or plain stupid?????????

    Putting a thief in charge of your money?

    Don't even give her any money. Recover all she has stolen from you and deduct the amount yoy owe her from it and send her away. In the corporate world, this attracts dismissal.



    PLEASE, I HOPE YOUR HUSBAND IS NOT SLEEPING WITH HER!!! ! !!!!!!!!!
    Yes anything is possible.


    why is he asking you to keep her, a THIEF!!!!!!!!!

    Does he want her around for convenience.



    I apologise for my harshness, it is not my style, but I need you to know that a lot is at stake for you.


    Don't you dare joke with your future and your life.


    Did she steal the money for surgery or medical treatment for a loved one??? ? If she did, you can forgive.

  37. Dear Poster, we are in the same boat of kindhearted people but someone that steals clearly from you without an iota of doubt when you have been every kind to her is Deadly. She has someone backing her up and that person wouldn't allow her to stop.
    Ask her about her boyfriend....you may be shocked at your findings.
    Let her go. Every action has its consequences

    ReplyDelete
  38. U don't give someone who broke the trust code a second chance, just let her go..except of cos if all u explained up there about how u treated her isn't true.. She obviously has no conscience.. If someone treats me like a sister and I choose to repay her by stealing from her it speaks volume of how heartless I am..the best reward you can give someone who treats you right is to reciprocate their gesture except the person just chooses to be heartless!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Don't give her a second chance unless you have the money to start from the scratch again. There is no guarantee that she will change for better. Business isn't a charity organisation or a rehabilitation centre.
    Similar thing happened to my brother. My brother doesn't take stock frequently because it is difficult to record every commodity and quantity sold without computer. All he does is calculate amount realized every day. The sales girl in one of his shops saw the loophole and exploited it -stealing thousand every day she comes before they count money realised for the day.
    My brother didn't even find out gon. She came and confessed herself later. By then, she was no longer with him. The confession made him audit records of another of his shops where his male apprentice stays. Oh boy! Guy man has been flexing with his money without him knowing it. The apprentice sells and count money realised. Here was a shop he was siphoning his money to expand into a super store and he got nothing from it. My brother just settled the boy (even though it wasn't yet time) and severed all ties.
    Two years gone and he hasn't recovered from that financial loss fully.
    Did I tell you that HAUNTY is one of those 'I holy pass" that use only threads to make hair and HUNCLE is equally religious and a church worker? Now you know.

  40. Let her go poster.

  41. You are joking with fire if you let her stay for even a minute longer. Let her go right away or you will live to forever regret it. This same girl was paying you evil for your goodness from the time she started stealing. She didn't confess willingly but God exposed her for you.

  42. Pls forgive her , she delivers , it’s not easy to get someone that’s smart , that won’t want to act funny sometimes . Since she has apologized , accept her back and keep a close eyes on her

  43. Anon 23.33.... people like you are the problem we have in Nigeria!... you think such words like "forgive" "sorry" fixes everything. If this happened in America you would be sacked immediately, no sentiments... Poster make sure you sack her...and yeah watch out for your hubby...whivch one is he saying u should forgive-hope he's not banging her...naija men are dogs...for the most part...

  44. You have just learned the first rule in business, never trust anyone. Keeping her would be very foolish on your part. Let her go immediately. If na me I would get her arrested make she cool off for cell for a while to teach her a lesson. She might not be lucky if she steals from someone who takes business very seriously that one would make sure she pays every penny.
