So, Im at work today, making my rounds, and apparently I dropped my wallet. I was unaware I had done so until I was on my way to buy something. Thinking I had left it in my car, I casually mentioned to my supervisor that my wallet was missing. It turns out one of my coworkers had found it and had turned it in. I get back my wallet and everything is there, except for the $12 I had in it. Apparently the drivers license didnt look like me, and they didn't read the name on it, as they didn't realize it was mine. Thats their story, anyhow. I mention to my supervisor that it was unfair that my money was still missing.
I go to the coworker that found it and ask if there was money in it when he found it. He says there was a couple dollars in it. I ask if he gave the wallet to the supervisor with the money in it, he says he did. I just said "wow, theyre just going to steal from me?" and I walk away. Then I went back to work and have been acting like nothing happened.
Nothing. It's $12, you'll never prove who took it since multiple people handled it before it got back to you.
Since this is where you work and you'd be accusing your fellow co-workers that could make for a difficult atmosphere for you. Just be thankful you got it back and don't have to replace all of your id and credit cards.
What? Its not the money, its the principle. Its not that they took the money, its that they took.
I agree with you.
If only life were as simple as people make it out to be.
Forget about it. Move on already. No big deal.
Yes, sometimes that is the only option.
But in cases like these, it's not the amount, it's the principle of the thing. Co-workers are people you trust, not someone that takes money out of your wallet under the guise of being a good samaritan.
Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do, but at the same time, it is understandable to be bitter about it.
Now you can't trust your supervisor or the co-worker. Not much I can say, maybe think about moving to another department or another job before you get too bitter about it?

Someone who gets it. Like now, I cant really trust the people involved in other situations, and these are people I work with on a near daily basis. Im not lamenting losing the $12, rather losing the trust in people I previously did.
And it always comes back to bite them, now when someone asks me to vouch for so and so, I cant do so in good faith. Like, why?
