text: why won't people rat out the scumbags they work with who steal from their employer? i wonder why an employee who is good and honest and sees others stealing, wouldnt rat them out, even anonimously> ? i really dont think i would want to work side by side with that person who would do such things openly and put me at risk of being suspect along with them? a lot of the times the theif usually has a big mouth and tends to try to turn the employees against the employer. i see this at my work place all the time. but in the end they are small minded individuals. best thing is to have small meetings with each person and let them know how u feel or maybe do an evaluation week with your employees. good luck and catch the bastard!
