Good day guys, happy New year to everyone, please I will make this post as brief as possible.
My brother asked me to help him look after his business when he wants to travel for Xmas, and it happens that I know much about the business, and he have a salesgirl too whom from my observation is a single mother though she is still very young.
Now this is the problem, since I started coming to that shop, I noticed this girl used to do some uncertain things (wuru wuru), so I decided to be more watchful and that's when I found out what she has been doing in the shop. I have caught her red handed in this act.
The first occasion was during last week Tuesday when we were about to close for the day and I was going through the sales book only for me to realized that the items we sold earlier in the day, the quantity in the book was different from what we actually sold, she minus some quantity and I called her to it and she acted as if it was a mistake, I acted as if nothing happened.
Second incident was last week Saturday, I was in the shop and one woman came to the shop with an Item she bought from our shop, so I was in my corner not minding them but I realized she came to complain of something to her and later bought another thing, I saw the item she came with so after the woman left, I called the girl and asked her when the woman bought that item, she said it was on Thursday, so after sometime, I went to the sales book to check if she wrote it, but I was shocked when I went through the whole week sales but I couldn't find it. I kept my cool, till in the evening when we were about to go and i asked her to show me where she wrote it, only for her to be going through over and over again, I asked her, I thought you said you sold this thing on Thursday and she said no.
Now because we have closed for the day, she wrote it as Monday sales, but I keep wondering if it was only this item that the woman bought. Even is she sold it on Thursday and forget to write it down, the Money would have reflected after the close of the day, but it didn't, that means she intentionally stole the money. She is the one with shop keys and she opens the shop before i come every morning.
Now my problems are
1. I love minding my business
2. It's my brother's business which he entrusted to me to look after for him, so if after finding out all these things and still keep it to myself, if anything goes wrong in future I won't forgive myself.
3. This lady is a single mother and very young, I assume this is the only place she gets what she's using to take care of her herself and her baby, I really feel for her and I know she is going to loose her job if my brother gets to know about this.
Please what should I do?
Please forgive my errors, I'm not perfect Firstly i will want to commend you for being observant. I will advise you caution her that if he continue with such act you will report her to your brother and she may probably loose her job. Tell your brother to always monitor his stock when they're bought and track them properly. If he ask you why saying so, tell him not to trust nobody in business. But don't tell him what you found out. Let him if he is observant with your advise he will find out by himself. We rise by lifting others |

Well in business there is no sentiment. If you send her away and employ another, there is every tendency that that person will do worse. I will advise you tell brother, so he could get her deciplined. If she repeats it again, then you send her packing. 1 Like |

How the heck will this country move forward if little things like this can't be handled correctly?
Your brother is your blood and by extension you should treat his business like yours.
If it were your business, what will.you do?
Keep quiet?
Hell No.
Report the situation to your brother and let him handle it the way he wants.

I assume you're the manager? I would say, handle it yourself this time, talk to her first. Warn her that you are aware of what she has been doing, and construct an internal control system that would stop her from stealing without detection; maybe by taking a weekly stock count every Friday with her; or if this is too difficult, you can pick just a few items at random every evening before closing for the stock counting; with a more comprehensive end of month exercise. Make it clear to her that she will be held accountable and have her pay deducted for every item that is missing. Oftentimes, floor sales people steal because internal control is lax and there is little chance of getting caught. But whatever the case may be, give her another chance.
Besides, even if you fire her and get someone else, there is every likelihood that the next sales girl will also steal, and the next, and the next; as long as the internal control is weak. Better the devil you know. Sometimes as a manager, you have to look at the cost and benefit to your business. You learn overtime that it is not every infringement of the rules you react harshly over.
Her being a young single mother or other emotional tripe of that nature should not be a consideration. This is a financial issue, not a moral one. |

The problems you listed are actually your answers.
Problem 1. Mind your business, what your brother does not know will not kill him besides you didn't say his business was doing badly because of her.
Problem 2. Forgive yourself.
Because
Problem 3.
She is a single mom who is vulnerable.
It is better she is cheating your brother to sustain her baby than she engages into prostitution.
If she dies from HIV or her baby dies from malnutrition because you made her lose her job or blocked her access..will you be able to forgive yourself?
She is young and attractive....you could as well start a relationship with her so that you can cater to her.
That way, what she steals is still within the family.
So in summary;
Mind your business and don't tell your brother. Forgive yourself for not telling your brother because the culprit is a single mother who needs to do what she is doing if she and her baby will survive. No way, she is not working for free na, the pay her....that is Simeon's business we talking about, the owner also rely on the shop for his own upkeep.....let's not think like DAT, nor be the owner make her single mum..... U get? |

Please tell your brother everything. Don't miss one detail. Thank you Manoftheyear:
Good day guys, happy New year to everyone, please I will make this post as brief as possible.
My brother asked me to help him look after his business when he wants to travel for Xmas, and it happens that I know much about the business, and he have a salesgirl too whom from my observation is a single mother though she is still very young.
Now this is the problem, since I started coming to that shop, I noticed this girl used to do some uncertain things (wuru wuru), so I decided to be more watchful and that's when I found out what she has been doing in the shop. I have caught her red handed in this act.
The first occasion was during last week Tuesday when we were about to close for the day and I was going through the sales book only for me to realized that the items we sold earlier in the day, the quantity in the book was different from what we actually sold, she minus some quantity and I called her to it and she acted as if it was a mistake, I acted as if nothing happened.
Second incident was last week Saturday, I was in the shop and one woman came to the shop with an Item she bought from our shop, so I was in my corner not minding them but I realized she came to complain of something to her and later bought another thing, I saw the item she came with so after the woman left, I called the girl and asked her when the woman bought that item, she said it was on Thursday, so after sometime, I went to the sales book to check if she wrote it, but I was shocked when I went through the whole week sales but I couldn't find it. I kept my cool, till in the evening when we were about to go and i asked her to show me where she wrote it, only for her to be going through over and over again, I asked her, I thought you said you sold this thing on Thursday and she said no.
Now because we have closed for the day, she wrote it as Monday sales, but I keep wondering if it was only this item that the woman bought. Even is she sold it on Thursday and forget to write it down, the Money would have reflected after the close of the day, but it didn't, that means she intentionally stole the money. She is the one with shop keys and she opens the shop before i come every morning.
Now my problems are
1. I love minding my business
2. It's my brother's business which he entrusted to me to look after for him, so if after finding out all these things and still keep it to myself, if anything goes wrong in future I won't forgive myself.
3. This lady is a single mother and very young, I assume this is the only place she gets what she's using to take care of her herself and her baby, I really feel for her and I know she is going to loose her job if my brother gets to know about this.
Please what should I do?
Please forgive my errors, I'm not perfect |

The problems you listed are actually your answers.
Problem 1. Mind your business, what your brother does not know will not kill him besides you didn't say his business was doing badly because of her.
Problem 2. Forgive yourself.
Because
Problem 3.
She is a single mom who is vulnerable.
It is better she is cheating your brother to sustain her baby than she engages into prostitution.
If she dies from HIV or her baby dies from malnutrition because you made her lose her job or blocked her access..will you be able to forgive yourself?
She is young and attractive....you could as well start a relationship with her so that you can cater to her.
That way, what she steals is still within the family.
So in summary;
Mind your business and don't tell your brother. Forgive yourself for not telling your brother because the culprit is a single mother who needs to do what she is doing if she and her baby will survive. So, after she has grounded the business to a halt, and your brother is not able to pay her salaries, she will still stay behind because she is a single mum who does not want to go into prostitution? I wonder how people think nowadays. 1 Like |

I swear all the advice I'm seeing here is probably coming from people who dont have any business and prolly being paid at their jobs,if she is a single mother and needs more money then she should go do another job that pays more. Dont take people's advice seriously most are kids who dont know what life is all about yet or adults who are still living and surviving by their parents. |
