When I worked at Papa John’s in college, there was one manager lady who we thought was taking cash from the drivers.

At the end of a driver shift, you’d take all of the cash you were given (tips and any revenue from cash paid orders) and give the manager how much you owed. Several drivers, including myself, accused her of overcalculating the totals we owed back to the store. The head manager could never prove it so she got away with it.

She eventually got caught stealing from the register and was promptly canned. Never liked the bitch to begin with.

I worked for a restaurant in summer of college in which the owner owned two restaurants right next door to each other. Well about 2 weeks before it was time to return to school, the owner was busted for only having one liquor license for both places. So they tried to get us to walk next door to get the customers their booze, bring them a receipt, and have them pay for the booze with one check from next door and their food with another from where we worked. Sketchy as frick lol. We were all college students with 2 weeks or so left and we weren't gonna get arrested or deal with that shady crap.

So like 8 of us walk in the following day for our shift and they tell us officially to do this, and we all quit. I had to take a leak and the dry storage was next to the men's room, so I went all badarse and grabbed a case of Crystal hot sauce on the way out. Boom, that's my I'm a badarse thief story.

Ive suspected our office manager has been doing this for years. Never send checks but always corrections on ach batches. Was it easy for them to catch once they started digging in?

Had a tire tech decide to steal right after we did an inventory thinking he wouldn’t get caught. Guy was probably going to quit soon after getting rid of the tires. Only reason he got caught was I sold two of sets he stole the next day and sure enough they were missing. Saw him on camera loading up about ten sets out the back door. None of the guys knew we had installed a camera recently back there. Next morning, BRPD’s finest came to have a chat with the guy. He took off running around the corner and was met with a body slam by the cop waiting in the back.

Co workers are small timers.

Had a former boss get caught stealing from the govt and was fined a ton (maybe millions) of money. It wasn't just him but a couple others, can't remember who was the bigger players in that con but some did get fined millions of dollars.

Also just had this former contractor get indicted for something, and it again was him and his higher ups. I'm not sure if he specifically had anything to do with it or just the partners. About a month or two before we found out about this, he was trying to hire me on (good pay). Was kinda thinking about it, but very glad I didn't.

My previous manager had set up an engineering firm that he and his wife (Also an professionnal engineer) were running. He was awarding himself contracts all the time with this firm.

After a while responsibilities shifted and the people reporting to him, including me, were now over those type of projects. As we were transitioning, he gave us a list of firms to use including his.
Someone put one and one together and turned it in. He was fired swiftly. I looked at the combined POs amount for that company and it was over 3 million in about 4 years. There was no charges because they were actually providing the engr services. Guess he worked overtime
He always came in just under the other bids.

So the place who works on our trucks pinged the truck and it was at this guys house. They drove there, found truck, our boss called police and they waited for him.

He's really gone to shitters, they condemned his house and he's squatting in it. Cops finally let them take the truck back to place we park them.

He's got a warrant out, and his local cops are looking for him. What a shite head.

Bidding process is one of the easiest ways in the world to steal and or give a buddy a job with kickbacks.

I worked at a grocery store in HS and one day the police come in and arrest the manager. She had skimmed 80k over a few years from a family owned business.

If a guy my age is stealing, the problem is probably drugs.

If it’s a girl, it’s probably gambling or shopping.

yep...a couple of times through he years. It generally concerns something like selling scrap iron that no one thinks about. If someone sells this type of waste product year over year, it adds up to be a hell of a lot of money. We had a guy sent to jail because of such stupid shite.

When I worked retail we had sale associates steal merch. Depending on what it was, it usually resulted in termination or a call to the PD. Most of the time they were stealing snacks.

I thought for sure we'd hear a plant baw story by now.

I know how much they like to frequent "the big store".

I run the show in St.Louis.

And i already stated why i took the job 12 years ago. I get 17 paid weeks off a year. We have 3 guys for 2 routes, and since our Main base is 3 hours a away, 1 guy is on call(being paid).

I love the job, gave up 10Kish to take it.

I worked with a guy that stole about 25 pieces of electronic gear, all valued at about $1k each. Over the course of 2 months, he went to the pawn shop 25 times and put his license down to pawn them, with the company's name on them.

He quit the job and disappeared about 2 days before the police called the director of operations and asked if he was missing any gear. He has not been arrested yet but has 25 felony warrants out on him.

When CB&I still had the Shintech newbold there was an old cat working the back tool trailer. He did not give two shits what you brought up there to replace or how often. Didnt even check to see if you threw the damaged item into the right bin.

There was a certain group of people putting duplex nails into the canisters Hilti Drill bits would come in, switching them out with pricey brand new drill bits. Guys ended up collecting impact gloves like it was a game.

That last week before everyone in civil got laid off was especially bad. Every single hand on site had a stash of PPE that could supply a small company. It was not surprising to anyone actually on site when that job went over budget
