It's very worrying.
I used to own a restaurant. One night we had a breakin and some money
was stolen from somewhere only a few people would know - nothing else
was touched.
The police were called but found nothing notable.
At the time I was convinced I knew who'd done it - an employee whose
performance had been poor and whose attitude had always seemed a bit
'wide'.
I'm now not so sure.
I happen to hate that employee - but I have no solid grounds to
believe she was a thief - just a lousy employee. While *I* wouldn't
wish to destroy her career prospects, I can imagine some people who
would just.... she was a total cow - a face you'd never tire of
slapping - but would I want to blacklist her? Of course not!
How many people could say the same? |
