Yesterday, we had to let an employee go for theft. This was our first experience in doing something like this, and it took a lot of talking, mulling, waffling on everyone's part. However, the majority decision was that if the employee stole from us, it was time to go.
What made it more difficult, was that it was the son of our best and most trusted employee. Needless to say, the father took it hard and we spent a lot of time with him telling him that we didn't blame him or hold it against him. No idea if that was much of a consolation, but probably not.
No one denied the theft, tried to justify it, just admitted it. It was not a fun day at all.
