Under fair words, beware of fraud - Part 1 - Fair words

I was giving my statement at the police station. The police constable started typing in the local language. I was very nervous at that time.  As soon as I started speaking, my inner mind was already reached in past.  It was my first day in the company. It was a marketing company and was supplying goods from regional stores to distributors and other clients.  We had a warehouse and an office attached. We hardly were ten people in the office.  Rao K. V., a very young, dynamic, and very friendly in nature, was manager of the regional office. I entered the office and was welcomed by him with a very gentle smile on his face. He was very polite and talkative in nature. He inquired about my family and wished me the best of luck. I was in heaven because getting a friendly boss normally happens only in dreams. I was feeling so lucky because you win half of the war during joining a new company if you get a good boss. He had kept the office atmosphere very pleasant. In just a few days, I got very much comfortable with my all colleagues.  He used to take care of and guide us so well that we even used to take personal problems to him.         
              I remember, when I was required to go to Nagpur, India by flight for some work, he guided me each step like one explains to a kid with every minute details. My tour was successful. I used to travel to different places with him for client visits. He used to fight for us for our expenses and facilities with management. What else an employee requires? Very soon, we started following and believing in him. He had started a new initiative that every month, we used to go for a movie and dinner in a good restaurant with all our company colleagues.            
Now, you can understand that employees like me were so impressed by him then, how much his boss and superiors would have been impressed. No doubt, he was taking care of all bosses and superiors equally. They were not only satisfied but used to believe blindly in him.

Humanity Pays Off

It was just another day. After a very hectic workload in the company, I was very much tired. At that time there were mobiles but not with common people. The Internet had started its influence and was capturing human beings like the British had captured India in history. Being an engineer, now I think you waste half of your youth life just thinking of job search, job change over, and its frustration. Unknowingly I started my journey on the same path.  Having tired though, I went to café… no..no not café coffee day. I went to an internet cafe to search and apply for jobs. This had become my daily routine to go to a cyber café and search for a job.  One fortunate day, I got a call for an interview. It was in some area in Pimpri Chinchwad. I was needed to go by city bus. As usual, I lied to my boss and got leave for health reasons. I went for the interview and it was good. But they told me that they will inform me results in one or two days. I was hopeful. With lots of th...

Forgiveness is happiness

I came back from the office at 11 pm. I was very tired and wanted rest. Today only I had salary and cash was there in my wallet. After freshen up, I just had dinner and slept.  Morning, the doorbell was ringing continuously. I opened the door.   “Good Morning, please pay the milk bill for the month.” Milk Man was on the door.  “ Ok, How much I need to pay,” I replied.  “500,” he said.  I went to bring money. I just counted the money in my wallet, I observed that 100 less in my wallet.  Anyway, I paid the cash and closed the door.  I immediately asked my younger brother, “ Hey Sam, have you taken money from my wallet?”  He replied “ no,”  I thought “ Ok, I might have lost somewhere.”  But, I doubted Sam as I found his eyes were telling a different story. I decided to watch him. The next day, I found that again Cash is less. Now my suspect became stronger and I just decided to keep watch on him. As it was a holiday, we sta...

Under fair words, beware of fraud - Part 3- Fraud Revealed

For Part 1, click here For Part 2, click here Now, management decided to verify the situation by doing an audit of the regional office by a very senior lawyer of the company.   After the audit, the lawyer confirmed to management, "Yes, there is fraud and shreds of evidence are pointing towards Mr. Rao. But I cannot know everything in an audit."     Top management asked him to register a police complaint. As per that, he registered a police complaint and left to head office.  Now it was instructed to all that Rao sir will not be allowed to enter in office until police verification is done. But even after this, management had the opinion that it might be a trap by some of us. Hence, we all were under scanner.   On the other hand, Rao sir was telling all, that management only did this trap because he resigned.   After reporting a complaint in the police station, police immediately started their work. First, they came to the office an...
