feeding your nose with other peoples money
well what a weekend, i can honestly say it will one I'm willing to never experience again. when you work with alot of different personalities you find yourself being friends with the most of unlikely people and that great. these are the friends that you learn so much from about many things that you would go out and learn on your own. you also experience times with them during in and out of work that go down in your mental memory as being some of the best times.
however out of all these people there are always going to be the one that you wish you never met or wish you didn't have to work with. the person that when you start makes you feel welcome but late on you find out to be a complete arse that make you want to kick yourself for saying good things about.
i have a part time job in a busy shop, it great. the boss can be a complete idiot that just doesn't think when he opens his mouth and yet you find him to be a very good friend with a good heart and the staff are all up for it, loads of banter and just know bitchiness. well there didn't use to be.
apart from the boss and the subject of this rant who i will call Daniella. i am the longest serving employee, which you may think iv done some time in this shop but you would be wrong, you see iv only worked there for just under a year and the turn over of staff is huge.
Daniella is a nice fella, well use to be i think because i cant see a nasty bone in him i just see this messed up lad that wont admit to his wrong doing. you see Daniella as you may have guessed by his name likes the smell of the white powder and he likes so much that he sniffs alot, sniffs until his pockets are empty and then until his account is empty.
I'm not a stranger to drugs and I'm not a stranger to this particular drug, i would say iv experienced the effect but iv also experienced the destruction of drugs. from my mid teenage years i have always been aware of drugs and i come from a little backward town where you would least expect it but by the time i was 18 id had my hand in the cookie jar and had quite a few sugar rushes. friends and people i knew fell victim to the sweet taste, some worst than others and I'm sorry to say one of my oldest friends died a few years back from it.
it not just the addiction that effects people but its the personality change that effects the people around them, deceit, lies, deviousness are in there but hidden behind the face of the person you think you know. and you will only find out this when is to late because you don't want to believe that this is happening.
Daniella has worked for the company for a very long time and i would go as far to say been given the respect by all that has work with him past and present. hes worked with the boss side by side all this time opening new shops and celebrating success. Daniella was known at one time to the boss's right hand and if he wasn't around Daniella would be the one to talk to. this would be a position that could have held a very good career.
the past four months have been busy opening new shops getting more staff in, training and ensuring the shops run like clockwork has been stressful. as a part timer i have put in alot of time and found myself very involved in it all which i have enjoyed but had to get back to my original goal.
the stress took its toll on the boss and other staff but four months on we pulled through and the shop works well but not with out casualties. too many parties and late nights has taken its toll on Daniella and nights out and parties were happening every night, and as the nights went on the taste got sweeter but the price got bigger and then it happened......... money went missing from tills, the final weeks take, petty cash and floats. money had been lent from staff and friends even people he bearly knew with a promise to pay them next day, 'just come in the shop tomorrow ill sort you out, iv just left my card at home'.
it was time tell the boss other people were putting money back in the till because they had used the till that day, it must be their mistake because there is an element of trust in this shop so it must be a mistake, wrong change not paying attention.
but how do you tell the boss that his right hand man, the person hes work with for such a long time had been taking the money, dipping in the take to feed his nose, the mangers had tried to but shyed away from this again, and i knew that someone was going to let him get away with it and put the money back.
i accused Daniella at the end of the day in front of one manager, give him some dignity the staff all knew it was him and what was going on but this needed to be done in private away from the staff. i accused and he denied but of course he would, lie come second nature but he will trip up so i carried on as his face went white and he tried to to deny it more but i could not listen to the babbling lies and i could not go back on what id said i believed in what id said and was standing by it then comes the other part of the reaction, aggression. Daniella squared up to me, hes about the same size as me which isn't very big so that didn't phase me or stop me it had to be said and he needed to hear it. it was done and id started to walk away from him, let him leave the shop don't search him just let him go it was out of our hands now and it was left to the boss to deal with it.
for the rest of this weekend iv felt guilty and unsure on what iv accused Daniella of, was i right to do it. id already come to the conclusion that i had gone about it in the wrong way but i am standing by what iv said and my accusation.
