People paid good money to end up having to look at that all day :S
Always worth it Props RULE
Someone stealing petrol at work today. They got their fuel and drove off while it was a panic moment, people running everywhere and buying stuff and some insane woman trying to use a gift card with NOTHING ON IT! I couldn't keep track of everything and someone slipped through. The person got their fuel and drove off, and the boss blames me and the other guy at work. He wants US to pay for the 85 dollars of petrol. It is not my responsibility to make sure no-one steals like that. If I had seen it then it would have been my responsibility, but I don't have 13 spare pairs of eyes to keep track of everyone in the world! If he wants to see everyone who buys fuel, he should have cameras installed. It is part of the risk he takes when he lets people serve fuel. I am not his watch dog and I don't want to pay for the 85 bucks of fuel. Isn't it illegal to force me to pay?!
Sincerely ruffled. And he's angry coz I said I don't want to pay for it.
You're going to see more and more of this sort of behavior :S
Did your boss expect you to run out and tackle the car as it drove off???
Ask him to supply you with a set of Stinger Strips for next time :)
So you are to leave a shop full of people, who all have pockets, while you run off to fail at stopping a car over $85???
Smart business man :S
If your boss is an arsehole, set a bigger bunch of arseholes on his tail, tell your union.
If you're not in a union, ask yourself who is the biggest arsehole.
Sorry for the crude language, but consider this a lesson in life.
Mr Edward Jones is a gentleman. The Jones you are thinking of Flame, is a disreputable Sydney shock jock with close connections with a political party, the homosexual community, and the ARU in the 1980s.
Oh....has the....
Did you sign an agreement or employment contract of any kind? If so it would probably have some sort of clause in it to favour the boss in this sort of scenario. If not, then he/she is being a bottom hole and trying to bluff or bully you. I don't think they have a leg to stand on unless your boss can prove negligence on your part.
(I'm only a lowly workplace union delegate and I have to refer heaps of issues up the line to someone who knows more than me)
But hell, if it comes to the crunch and you need the job we can always pass the hat around!
Robyn, in the cold light of morning, even I can see my language to you above was far too strong. I apologise.
What I was trying to say was that workers need strong unions, and unions are only strong if workers support them.
