We had to terminate an employee today for making purchases with a customers credit card. Some mail order pharmaceuticals and a pizza delivery. To his home address, with his own name as receiver. Our client is not amused.
We’ve been downsizing our department over the last few months as more of the work is outsourced overseas, holding onto what work we have by selling the comfort Americans have with other Americans. Just how fucking comfortable do you think they’re going to be now? Fluffy down comforter comfortable? Fleas in the mattress comfortable? Painful rectal itch comfortable?
Listen, Fuckstick. You may not care that we’ve filed a police report. The amounts here are petty enough that no one may come looking for you. You may not care that you’re out of a job, perhaps you feel you can support yourself with your little schemes. You may have just put 15 people out of work. Your conniving, fraudulent, dishonorable bullshit may well have ass-fucked the very people who were food basketing you through your recovery, loaning you your prescription fees, riding you to your doctors appointments. Happy now? Hmm?
Next time your shriveled little heart (and how poetic are your health issues) stops beating, don’t bother to call for 911. You don’t fucking deserve it.
Y’know, people are their own worst enemies. I took a p/t gig a few years ago managing the physical security at a large credit card collection company where hundreds of people worked. The people individually were so corrupted by greed that they were losing a million dollars a month to fraud at that location alone. The people who were supposed to be calling to get the deadbeats to pay up were stealing whatever they could, seemingly thinking that they’d never be found out or never cared. Either way, the place is closed now and all those people who worked for that company in that location for the years it was there went right out of work. Sometimes, people are just shit.
I understand your rage and all, but unless you go telling all your other customers that you fired one of your employees for swiping CC numbers, they’ll have no reason to be uncomfortable dealing with you.
In many many industries, your customers are part of a larger base of users with similar/overlapping interests. And they talk to each other. Word gets around quickly.
I agree; losing a customer because an employee was stealing credit card numbers is something they’ll remember and tell everyone they know. If the business was on the bubble, I’m guessing that’s a pretty bad blow.
PTK, fuck that thief indeed. Isn’t there some kind of gesture of goodwill you can make toward the customer, like taking some of them out for a dinner as an apology, or somesuch?
It’s like Dildo with built in internal semi-rhyme. But he’s also a jizzwad, a douchebag, and flambeed dickcheese on toast points.
PTK? OK. Now I know my serial killer name. Thanks. We’ve made appropriate gestures to the customer and some pretty overcompensatory paper control rules to appease the client.
We’ve been weeding out part timers and those who have demonstrated an inability to manage the workload. Fuckstick had the appearance of competent employee with added sympathy bonus of recovering from heart attack (boo-hoo). But our opinions flipped on that real fast. Sadly, infectious paranoia has flipped my opinions on a couple people he was friendly with as well, so now I have to get all big brother on their asses as well.
