They are doing well

Thank you Nairalanders, I really appreciate all your contributions, and from most of the comments here, I have made up my mind on what do.

Thanks once again my NL family .

God bless us all.

habsydiamond:
ur brother is ur family, u can't be looking at her stealing from ur family cos this is not public fund that everybody dive in to. Inform ur brother once he his back and make sure he send the girl packing cos she can't stop such act... Guide ur family against outside thieves ooo... Incase u need to arrest the girl I get officer for that

This your police officer Sha

Make I no kukuma talk wetin dey my

But on a serious note I have what you said, thanks for your contribution

Heathrow44:
Don't tell him, all employee's steal, u just av t tighten leakages & make dem more accountable thru stock checking!

I'm not staying here with them, it because my bro travel for Xmas that's why u came here, I believe this has been going on for long because that one no too dey stay for shop. The girl is the one always in the shop, she is with the keys too.

shilz:
If her salary isn't enough she should discuss with her boss or look elsewhere..she is stealing not because of her baby but because she is greedy...report to your brother.whatever his decision is shouldn't be ur problem as you have played ur part..if the business crumbles she will find another job,will ur brother be able to continue?

Thanks ma'am

donttouchme:
If u really love ur brother, u hv to tell him. Dat girl is liquidating ur bro and u are their forming holy. Wait until she sends ur brother back to d village, ur eyes go clear. Her type will not hesitate to take action if reverse is d case. Be wise and stop listening to all these fools. Ur brothers survival matters at this point. If ur brothers business liquidate, she will always find another shop to loot. Call a spade a spade stupid

Thanks boss

einsteine:
You are a fool for even considering not telling your brother. May we not have brothers like you. Was it your brother that impregnated her to make her a single mother? Being a single mother is a choice, afterall how much is Misoprostol? She stole. Report to your brother and let him make his decision. All those people saying warn her that she shouldn't do it again are clowning. She has been stealing before and now sees stealing as part of her salary. The mouth that has tasted milk does not forget the taste.

Alright sir

onez:
Please tell your brother everything. Don't miss one detail. Thank you

RisenPhoenix1:
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.

Thanks boss

Righteousness2:
Better Tell your Brother your Observations.
You don't need to tell him what to do.
Tell Him what you Have Observed,
If not Your Brothers Shop is on its way to Collaspe!

Thank you sir, I appreciate

RealAlubarika:
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

Thank you sir

DropsMic:
Sack her.. Thieves no dey change. Talking from experience.

.

Noted sir

Organs:
Reading your answer and you have 41 likes, that shows why we are corrupt in Nigeria. Almost everyone is a bribe taker or giver. Firstly @manofthe year is wrong to even ask for advice and say the things he said. Right is right and wrong is wrong. She is a thief. Call it what it is. The only way you can help her is to :
1. Correct that stupid behaviour by ensuring she doesn't steal again. That can be done easily by taking stock at the end of each day and ensuring the numbers match the items sold.
2. See if your brother is paying her poorly and ensure she is paid an ok salary
3. Do not condone bad behaviour from your brother her, anyone, correct any wrong while you can.

Peace.

Thanks boss

Wartsnigeria:
I suspect you are also stealing from your brother hence you won't even think about keeping a thief in his shop.

Lol, please come off it bro, not that, the whole thing really tire me reason why I'm here, because since that Saturday, I have been thinking of what to do about this case

Incognito403:
My one Saudi Riyal.

Tell your brother but be diplomatic.

Firstly, there's nothing like minding your business here. I don't know your culture or religion but in Islam once you're charged with a responsibility, you must act in the best interest of those who charged you with the responsibility.

If your brother caught her by himself, do you think he would have sacked her or kept her? Your answer will determine if you're not betraying your brother.

In fact, since you're asking this question, it means you're almost certain that he'll fire her. So concealing this from him is betrayal.

Secondly, for your own safety and sanity don't let her know you've caught her. People, especially women, can be desperate and irrational when seeking revenge (even when they're wrong).

So you should be diplomatic. Even if your brother will fire her, she shouldn't know you're the one that exposed her. It's very important.

She is sensing it already, acting somehow since yesterday.

She even volunteer to go and buy me food today, I systematically refused

Samakus:
If I am your brother and I later get to find out that you saw something that will crumble my business in medium/long run and your annoying pity for a thief made you to look away, I WILL HATE YOU FOR LIFE.

She's a thief and she's just starting small. Soon, she will increase her loot and your brother will be out of business, his family suffering, while the looter girl enjoy her loot.

It's an unfair world. Don't even try to be faint hearted

Thank you so much, I really appreciate

posh4545:
oga !!!don't be stupid go and tell your brother now if u are reading these ...this is how I lost a business of millions..

Exactly my fear, thanks boss

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Be more careful so the lady does not harm you. If you Love your bro, you need to tell him.

Before I dey send am buy me food but not anymore, I dey go myself now

NnamdiN:
She's a thief shikena. Report and get her fired simples

thebosstrevor1:
A thief is a thief no matter the gender and condition

I have seen some Simps trying to take caution with the thief because she is a female.

Go and report to your brother

Your brother business will soon crumble and you wont have food to eat.

I onder how Nigerians think, the lack of taking responsibility is why this country is like this today.

Thanks boss

Jessepaid:
reason your bro na..

Alright boss

44Bulldog:
1...Talk to her like a brother-sister conversation, let her know that you're aware of what she's doing and let her know that if she doesn't change, it'll cost her "her job" (of course she'll still do it, but the fear of being caught will be there so she won't over do it, she go use sense).... that's if you're pitiful and u don't want to be the reason someone joy is taken


2...Tell your brother and let her get the Bleep out of his shop since she's greedy.... that's if u don't give a damn , but I won't advice u to do this because country hard and everybody deserves a second chance and there is no guarantee that new employee won't do the same (even worse)



Since u don't want her to lose her job

Tell ur brother to be watchful and monitor everything anytime he's around, warn ur brother wella

Don't act like you caught her red handed to ur brother just tell him to keep his eyes open


Although being a single mom isn't an excuse for stealing but country hard

Put urself in ur brother's shoe...if u you're the owner of the business, can u do with her staying, if yes....fine

If no...let her go

Lalasticlala needs to see this

Lalasticlala where are though

Please I need more views on this

Jessepaid:
..

Collect the shop keys...

Make the sacrifice and come early to open the place

But it wasn't me that give her the keys initially, it was my bro

NwaAmaikpe:



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.

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.

Always sarcastic
.you can never change I swear, which one is stealing within the family

But thanks for your contribution though

Jessepaid:
Shit....well....

Naturally you should take immediate action and sack her...

I no dey see the mama...

Na the pickin I dey see...

I want you to be understanding with this one..

Tell your brother to increase her salary...

While you are there try and maybe give her daily incentives...

Street dey every where...

Very few people fully depend on their salary...


Or you can just call her and tell her you know what's up...
Tell her to stop...
Then dey put for am small small...

Which ever way works...

The thing is that, I'm leaving here immediately my bro return from his trip, so it will still go the Normal way because that one no dey too dey shop

sabbiboi:
You don't have to tell your brother.

Though being a single mother is not a justification for her action, it's just greed.

All you should do is warn her against such act from repeating itself, and strict punishment will be taken if caught again.

Okay boss, thanks

Abimbolafavour:
u welcome .. but am lady.

Oh I'm sorry about that

Bola146:
It's doesn't mean. Just tell her to stop stealing or you will report her to your brother.

Alright ma'am, thanks

nuelsam:
this is really hard....I'm sure if u tell your bro,he might relieve her of her duties and thereby making things worse for her but theft is theft....she's doing this at the detriment of your Bros business......when your brother arrives(that's if he stays in the shop everytime)find a way to tell him to get hold of the sales book to be sure every sales was recorded cos sometimes the sales girl might forget to write down the sales which might result to excess or loss by the end of the day... especially when he wants to balance the account....so for that reason,he should be more vigilant...but don't tell him straight up that the girl stole from him.

I think this has been going on for long and my bro couldn't notice it because he is not always in shop, small small like this, shop go dey go down

44Bulldog:

Tell your brother and let her get the Bleep out of his shop since she's greedy.... that's if u don't give a damn

Yes I'm pitiful, but at the same time I don't want something that will affect my brother's business because that my bro no dey too dey shop. And na that girl dey hold the shop keys

Abimbolafavour:
please tell your brother... this is not a situation you should keep quite, do the needful to inform your brother before that girl bankrupt that business, and beside your brother should make stock cards to monitor the sales.

Thank you sir
