"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
A few years back I had a employee who worked for me for several years.. My number one guy, trusted him with keys, helped him get into his house, bought him a vehicle, on and on. One day he came in and told me he had lung cancer and needed kemo treatments monthy but he had to pay like 835.00 out of pocket each time and his medicad would pick up the rest. he said he was going to die without the treatments. so for 3 months srtaight i would give him the money. He would even call me the day after(he had to have it off) barley able to talk, really sick sounding etc. well one weekend i was supposed to go out of town and decided not to and went up to the shop on saturday and there he was printing orders on the side. i fired him out of anger.I felt so darn bad I called his wife to explain and tell her i was sorry, you know with the cancer and all,I hope the kids are ok , i'm really feeling bad. then she goes on to tell me WHAT CANCER? come to find out he lied about everything, there was no cancer and she had kicked him out weeks befor. A couple days later he showed back up wearing brass knuckles and was chasing me around the shop as i was calling 911. he left and they arrested him about 30 min. later. people are crazy.
good reason to at least have a crowbar or two...
