Dilema

Yesterday i had placed a request with admin dept for cleaning one of my allocated seats which i occasionaly use. i had told them that incase if i m not at my desk, then ask the house keeping guy to use d master key & clean. i was aware that there were 4 gift items which were lying in there.

When i went to office two of the gift items were given back out of which one had its wrapper missing. other two were missing. i esclated to the highest level by writing a strong mail. Recieved a call from the senior manager of admin saying if i m dead sure about this theft then ppl can be fired for the same. he also added that we have this concern person with us for last 7 yrs.

Now i wasnt sure what to tell him. its not that i lost those gifts...but i do not want to take someones job. how wud he feed his famly? Should i bother? mistake is a mistake. He wud not have clean the drawer himself but then he was a supervisor. whom should i hold responsible?

I m in this dilema since evening...tomorrow morning i have to take a call...god knows what i will b doing tom!

it rare when life puts in the BINARY mode and u have to take a decision betwen 1 or 0.

My suggestion to ur dilemna would be to withdraw ur allegations but have an one-o-one with the 7yr old staff member. Make him confess in private that he was callous at work and take a promise to not to repeat the mistake.
