Jailbird

A little bit of gossip from my old job. You may recall some of my blog posts about Little Dumpling? Well, as it turns out, Little Dumpling is a Little Felon. Apparently she's got felony convictions for embezzlement and fraud.

She is currently sitting in jail, and will be there until 12/18. No worries, though. Her job in finance (payroll, medical billing, cash collecting and posting, etc.) will be waiting for her. Her suck ups galore seem to have paid off! When I was there, I missed three days for a death in the family, and I was screamed at and threatened, written up and harassed. But I digress.

I am sure Little Fel - er - Little Dumpling is quite relieved about this! After all, she tried so hard, for so long, to get moved upstairs so she could work in the finance department. I wonder if this has anything to do with the cash flow problem there?

Don't get the wrong idea. I am not trying to be harsh, or judgmental. I realize people make mistakes. They can learn, and grow, and change their ways. I understand this. People convicted of misdemeanors and felonies need jobs too. I just think it's a little foolish to hire someone who has a record for embezzlement, or fraud, or forgery, or any other such crime, to be in a position in the finance department, or in any other position where they will have access to other people's money. Would you hire someone convicted of child molestation to be a elementary school teacher? Or would you hire a person convicted of embezzlement to be the person in charge of receiving and distributing donations for a charity? It seems like an avoidable risk to me. Why take the chance?

Still, like I said before, I have escaped, and not a moment too soon!
