Let me get this straight, both you and your dad were robbed, shot and survived, then ended up hiring the guy who arranged the shooting. Then this guy managed to steal about $100 per day for 3 years from you guys without it showing up in your bookkeeping or any other detectable place.

Then, in spite of the fact that this probably added up to about 25k per year, your lawyer told you that it wasn’t enough to qualify for grand larceny and you have to wait for him to steal more.

On top of all that, you had a recording of him admitting to arranging the shooting but you somehow forgot to make a backup of it? That’s not even going into this guy’s motivation for arranging the shooting of the dad and brother of his employer was . . . to straighten the two of you out because . . . .

Okay, kid, you fooled a whole lot of adults here. You have a bright future in corporate America. Now get back to your homework.

People like the one you describe here can be incredibly difficult to correct. You instinctively know that they are going to fall apart the moment you have to tell them they’ve made a mistake.

While the “right” answer is to speak up and start to correcting her, you might want to ask yourself if you are really prepared to take on that challenge. I know for myself sometimes I’ve just had to admit that I can’t deal with certain people and give myself permission to cut ties.

I would suggest asking yourself if you honestly feel like she will make improvements with better management and whether you are capable of providing that management. If the answer is no, then let her go.

He’s definitely trying to manipulate you. Look at the answers here on this sub. This is a huge red flag and pretty much anyone with any sense knows it. He’s either lying about his friends of he has a lot of really stupid friends.
