I have managed a business with an average of 12 employees for ten years. I find it very difficult to get good honest people. It is always something, i.e.... stealing money from the cash register, lying about hours worked, covering up for another dishonest employee, etc.etc. I have always done my best to keep a level head in stressful situations, be friendly and understanding, I try very hard to promote a team atmosphere but there are always those who abuse it. Just today I had a situation where an employee wrote time on her timesheet that wasn't worked. ( I wrote her up and gave her 3 days off with no pay) I feel that I should have fired her probably but it is a situation where I am friends with her mother and told her that if it were anyone else she would have been automatically dismissed. Then another person tried to cover for her which to me is just as dishonest. What can we do to make people understand and care about the company they work for?
