You are asking us why we didn’t react the same way to a situation where one guy rants about being “raided “ and another where one guy’s team notifies the archives that they have something that the archives apparently didn’t know even existed.
Person A takes petty cash money that no longer applies to him as he doesn’t work there anymore, is asked numerous times to give it back, doesnt, then they show up to get it.
Person B leaves a job and 5 years later discovers a box with petty cash in it, let’s them know he has it, sends it back
and you want to say “well hold on now…. Why didn’t you give person A the same benefit of the doubt?”
