    working on it this morning.

    I did for two reasons.
    The first was to see if he was skipping over
    the areas that I was hiding the bills.

    The second was to see if he would tell me
    that he found them or just not say anything
    and keep them.

    Has as anyone else tried stuff like that
    with their employees?
    •No.
    -I Never Have.

    •Friendship?
    -I believe that it’s completely fatuous to do
    such chicanery to a close friend—especially
    a friend that’s down on his luck. Besides:
    -Any business owner/employer worth his salt
    knows that the duplicitousness of the “Test”
    you have devised isn't the proper retraining
    protocol...for friend; or foe.


    •Conversely:
    -I would never work for anyone (friend; or not)
    that ever attempted such shenanigans to me.
    -(Under the guise of “retraining”. Yea...Right.)

    Well said Bob.

    I'll put it into laymen's terms: Pretty much a d!ck move to do that.

    If you don't trust the guy, leave it at that.

    Setting a trap for a guy that is "down on his luck" is actually a little cruel. JMO.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Re: Test For Training New Employees

    I am the shop foreman for my employer and have caught some kids we had working there rifling through a body shop customers consoles,,I told themf I ever seen that again they'd be fired,,,they did and they were promptly released from duty.
    this homie don't play that..at all but I would never intentionally set someone up.

    now on the other hand if you wanted to provide something like an aptitude test to make sure Willy Washboy knows his left from his right I see no reason not to do that.
