I did it...

Shrinking Susy’s scale this morning said 170.5. YAHOO
Susy is dancing in Oregon.

OK guys, I hit the send button this morning with that letter about my fraudulent boss to my district manager. I will also be dropping it in the snail mail box today to make sure someone hears us. It doesn’t feel good, but feels right. I'm scared and worried for the job I do enjoy. Well see what happens... I proof read it, had the two other employees signed the letter. It was dated for today so we decided to just send it. The "evil Susy" in me did not win. Nothing rude, no tricks, no pay backs, no delays just facts. Karma might come back on me, so it was not worth it. That's what I kept thinking, "what comes around, goes around". I worked on this letter for days now and am very tired of thinking about it. This is just a piece of what I remembered and put down on paper where there was solid proof. I wrote this so many times I had to cut out any nagging and stick to just facts. I took out the last names here but thought I’d share…

We are current and former employees of M G store. We have been witness to the theft of company assets, theft of company time, falsification of company documents and numerous policy violations that are unbecoming of our current store manager, Shawna. This letter details the facts of these allegations which can be supported by employee and company records. Efforts of prior employees have gone unnoticed, uninvestigated and disregarded. However, these unethical practices are compromising the integrity and assets of M G.
The theft of company assets began in early September when we began to notice the petty cash funds were beginning to disappear without notice or receipts to validate expenses. When we confronted our store manager she gave different accounts to the purpose of using M G petty cash: to cover travel expenses to manager meetings, purchase store decorations and/or to remove garbage that was being piled in the store room. Of $275 for petty cash our lowest amount for making change was $183.50. These discrepancies were noted on daily cash accounting documents. However, they were destroyed by Tracie per request from Shawna when the prior district manager, Pam, called in advance to perform a store audit.
We have repeatedly observed the theft of company time by our manager. She has consistently clocked in at M G and within a short period of time has left the store. Neighborhood marketing is an important tool to establishing community ties and contacts. However, there we agree that neighborhood marketing does not occur on holidays or when she has left the community while on personal business.
Nightly closers began to notice a common theme of Shawna working twelve to sixteen hour shifts at their end of day close outs. Numerous times our manager has been on the clock and has left the area for personal matters. Such an incident occurred April 13, 2007 when Emily completed her last shift at M G. Emily called Shawna to towards the end of her shift. However, the manager was in Portland, Oregon and needed Emily to stay until seven or later. Emily set the alarm, locked the doors and left. The police were contacted by concerned patrons and employees were contacted by the alarm company as the store was closed during normal business hours. An off duty employee, Tracie, re-opened the store and waited for the store manager to return, which she did at 7:40 PM.
During Thanksgiving holiday only two employees were physically at M G, but three were clocked in. Tracie saw the store manager come in just after the noon hour to clock herself in and comment on how much food she was about to enjoy. Margaret noticed Shawna supposedly work twelve hours. On December 25, 2007 the store did not open on the scheduled time at one. At 1:30PM a concerned customer called Susy at her residence worried when the store was not opened during scheduled hours of operation on Christmas day. Shortly after speaking with the customer, Susy called the store manager at home and later learned the store was not opened until after two in the afternoon. The store manager told Susy that she would “adjust her time later” as she took the deposit to the bank on her way home just after 3PM. Furthermore, Shawna gave permission to the evening MOD to close M G at 10:20PM on December 31, 2007 so the nightly closer could spend more time with her family on New Year’s Eve and be home by 11pm rather than closing the store.
Current and former employees are concerned with the falsification of company documents. October 13, 2007, employee Margaret discovered she was given an incident report after she followed the store manager’s directions concerning the re-distribution of petty cash after the purchase of Halloween decorations. However, this incident was not brought to the attention of the employee or the cash shortage that seemed to have occurred.
December 23, 2007, employee Tracie was discharged from M G when she called the store manager and said she would be unable to cover Shawna 7PM-11PM shift due to a family emergency. Tracie was told that she must “show or you are fired.” Tracie’s phone records show she called the manager at 4:45PM and not the 6:45PM on the incident report and company separation documentation showed Tracie as a “quit” rather than termination.
Collectively we have asked Shawna about specific events and the reasoning behind them and have not received an honest or consistent response. However, Margaret did not feel comfortable addressing her manager about these issues and called prior district manager Pam . Believing she had indemnity since she asked to remain anonymous Margaret was shocked when confronted by the store manager and learned her hours were to be drastically reduced per district manager request. There was no further inquiry or investigation into the numerous policy violations and concerns for company assets Margaret had brought to the attention of the district manager.
Margaret was let down by the whistleblower policy set forth by M G Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Section 19. While I am the only employee remaining at M G I am concerned for the welfare of the company with the ongoing theft of company assets, theft of time and falsification of company documents. Again, we ask that you look into our concerns as they are valid and legitimate. Tracie and Margaret enjoyed their jobs as do I, Susy. I really do treasure my job at M G and hope we have not done anything to instill any hard feelings with you or the company. I am concerned for my job as evidence and results of the last employee that took the chance to speak up. Again, we ask that you take a moment of your time to look into our concerns if only for the safeguarding of company assets.
