Today, I went for a job interview. Before giving me a tour, the manager pointed to my purse and said, "Better leave that in my office." I didn't know why it was safer in her office than on my shoulder, but I complied. Later, I went to buy coffee and discovered that all my cash was missing. FML

Today, since it's company policy, I had to go to the back of my small store to retrieve an item for a customer, even though I was working by myself. I came back to find that since she couldn't get into the cash register, she found and stole my purse instead. FML

Today, my boss asked me to pick up some supplies for a presentation. I entered the store in the middle of an armed robbery, was knocked to the floor, and had my cash, phone and credit cards stolen. When I told my boss the story, she said, "So were you able to get the binder clips?" FML

Today, at work, an old lady came through my line to buy some groceries. She told me she lost her purse and was a little short. It was busy, so I pulled out my little purse and gave her the money she needed. A few minutes later she returned with my boss, insisting that my purse was hers. FML

Today, I had a job interview but couldn't find my car keys. I had searched the entire apartment and had missed the interview. Turns out they were in my pocket the entire time. FML

Today, I was working as a cashier and a woman brought up a suitcase. As I was ringing her up I checked inside like I'm supposed to and I very jokingly say, "Look at all the stuff you're stealing." She laughed nervously then hit me in the head with her heavy purse before running out of the store. FML

Today, I got a taxi home from work. Only having notes in my wallet, I told the taxi driver that I'd run inside my house and come back out with the change for the journey. He agreed, but only if I left my bag as collateral. It seemed fair. An hour later, I realized my wallet was missing. FML

Today, I was going to my first job interview since I was laid off. About 10 yards from the door, I felt a sharp pain in my side and something in my pocket. It turned out to be a knife in my side, and a mugger robbing me because I looked rich. I haven't had any money in months, and missed the interview. FML

Today, I went to the post office. As I entered the building, my car alarm went off. Thinking I'd accidentally pressed the alarm on my keys, I shut it off without looking. When I returned to my car, the passenger window was demolished and my purse with all my money was gone. FML

Today, I had gone to the store and bought a new wallet. 5 minutes later a security guard asks for my receipt. Turns out I had dropped my receipt. Some guy had picked it up and pretended I had stole his wallet. The guard confiscated my wallet because the guy had "his" receipt to prove it. FML

Did the manager take it? Or some other klepto? Run, run far.

And that's why you keep all of your cash on your person, along with your credit cards and id. :P Why didn't you take your cash out when you just left it in the office for someone you just met, at a company you don't even work for yet.

well, surely you don't know much about psychology because if you did you would know that everybody keeps their id with them as it is part of one's psyche

As a native Pennsylvanian, I apologize for this. I pray the offending person is not a native Pa person. As for what happened, call the police. Make a report. Only you can stop this craziness!

Sucks OP, but perhaps that isn't the place for you to be employed. If you can't trust the boss and a locked office, you can't trust anyone there.

I fail to see the logic behind the manager asking you to leave your purse in her office and you actually complying with it. That wasn't a smart move on your part. I'm having a hard time deciding whether this is a FYL or YDI...

In this tough economy, you could consider that an "interview fee."

it was left in her office, in her care, under her suggestion. she is responsible for it. just like if u leave ur phone in a principals office and it get damaged, they are responsible, same thing. the only thing now is proving the amount of money u said u lost. chalk it up to experience, and next time either take out ur wallet or keep ur bag to yourself.
