I've been working part-time for 3 weeks in a retail environment. When I first arrived, I was told I would be sharing a cash drawer with my boss. When I first counted the drawer I discovered it was $47 short of cash. I told my manager who explained that it had been short since a previous employee had stolen from it, and he said he would fix it. 3 weeks have passed and it's still not fixed, as a matter of fact, it's now short $58. This leads me to conclude that my boss cannot count or is careless with money. This concerns me only because I share that drawer with him, so I am equally responsible for the cash. In order to fix the drawer he would have to short the deposit, which HIS boss would notice, which is why I believe he hasn't done it. What are my options here? I'm at a loss and getting more nervous by the second.

that situation would make me very nervous too. is there some way to document it? is it kept in a log and is the log accurate? have you told your manager that you are confused by the current situation? good luck.

You should speak to your manager again and let them know that the drawer is now $58.00 short and not $47.00. By bringing it to his/her attention it will show that you are concerned about the missing money and it will take suspicion away from you.

Sounds like it is time for you to write down your concerns and give them to your boss's boss.
