he did the right thing. people take advantage of you when they feel they have entrenched position in your life. if it was the driver's first day on the job, he wouldn't do that. but after 17 years, he feels 'unsackable' and s ...

Some bosses too steal papa!;public office Holders, making those under them slaves
The story said his employee stole from him the boss so why deviate from the discourse ?
I think you are a thief!
And so is the dishonest driver justified in stealing from his boss? What's even wrong with you, or you didn't read the article. Mtchew.
Upon all the privileges political appointees get they still steal the tax payers money, a thief is a thief even if you hand over world bank to him or her
he did not become millioner by being stupid he did the right thing firing the thiff
Wicked Sakora man.
Any kind of fraud is fraud and it should not be encouraged. The driver will learn his lesson.
The business owner should have disclosed the driver's salary for readers to know how ungrateful he has been in stealing from his employer. I strongly believe his salary is nowhere near Ghc 2,000.00 a month!
Good point there. Hardly do we hear of Ghanaian business owners giving bonuses to their staff after responding huge amounts in profits. Very wicked people. It's always the multinationals who do that. For all we know the drive ...

The thing is that most private business owners do not pay their employees well. I have worked in a private owned company before . They are mostly stingy their money, and they seek accountability for every penny they spend , t ...

I have changed job because the salary wasn't good. It never occurred to me to stay on and steal from my employer.
The salary is not good or most employers are cheats are never an excuse to steal.

Does that justify you stealing from your employer?
But that doesn't justified stealing from your employer please don't support that behaviour.
Smith disclosure or no disclosure is not a justification smfor fraud no Sir.
If you are employed there are terms and conditions which you appended your sidmgnsture to and it became a binding contract.
To justify it or c ...

2,000 cedis a month? When you're this rich and and still pay your loyal driver of 17 years 1000 cedis per month, that's what will happen. All this riches and your driver still lived in a kiosk with his wife and children at ad ...

SOMETIMER -true. Well said. "It's a glorified working environment with little to nothing to show for at the end of the month. Let him say how much he pays his employees."
If his salary was low, why was he pleading to be reinstated? He could have simply gone to find another job, anaa?
Good decision! The mindset of some Ghanaians is soo evil. Despite paying them the agreed salaries, they still look for avenjsss to steal, corrupt the work, do whatever that comes to their mind. Just imagine an owner of a barb ...

This practice is common in our markets . Sales boys and girls stand on the goodwill of the shop and it’s owner and sell their own items rather than that of the shops. It is so disheartening . This is one reason why many Gha ...

Have you asked yourself about the price difference?
Not to justify the act but sometimes if shop owners are not greedy enough and price their items reasonably I don’t think their employees would sell theirs , same product ...

If you took good care of the driver, he would not steal from you after 17 years.
Most employers are criminals and exploitative themselves
Exploitation is theft.
One of the most useless comments to read today. If you are not satisfied with your salary, you ask for more based on your worth. If declined, find a parttime job or another job. If necessary, upgrade yourself. If you come to ...

There are other ways to punish such a driver not sacking.
How many of these employers pay SNNIT contributions for these private drivers.
17 years is not a joke for someone to work for you without incidents.

And the Ghanaian employer exploit their employees same.
After all, they are also Ghanaians and would have used such gigs to get to the top.
How many employers pay SNNIT contributions for their employees.
Arrant nonsense . This nauseating sense of entitlement. The fact that you drive a millionaire doesn’t mean you should also be a rich man by that job. The fact that you keep Osei Kwame Despite’s garden doesn’t mean you s ...

Actually he could have had him arrested. Sacking alone is quite lenient.
I LIKE WHAT THE MAN DID

Yes that's how the system should work especially for drivers and labourers. As for Honourables and CEOs, it should be different as far as double salaries embezzlements are concerned. Can you imagine if that is applied equal ...

Fire or sack whoever steals. A thief is always a thief.
Yes, i remember this issue. The driver's name is Koo. He is a Northerner.
Tribe has no correlation with theft hence your post is too immature and needless .
If you think your salary is not enough is better to stop the works, the owner did the right thing.
MR SMITH, YOU ARE AN IDIOT. IF MR. ASAMOAH WAS NOT PAYING THE DRIVER WELL AND HE COULD HAVE FOUND A WELL PAID JOB ELSEWHERE, WHY THE DRIVER RESIGN AND GET HIMSELF A JOB ELSEWHERE. YOU ARE A CRIMINAL SMITH. YOU ARE ONE OF TH ...

Maybe your crooked dick couldn't find its way into some unfortunate anus. Just look at how you are ranting in block or capital letters. Gyimiii !!!
@OBENG, Mr. Smith didn't insult anyone here. Please don't pour your frustrations on this platform. If you have anger issues please get a bed at a psychiatrist center or get a gay partner to massage your penis with abonicki.
@Grace, you are God sent. Hahahahaha!!!
OUUUUCHHHHH
Obeng, work for yourself then
How do you know adzo
Hassan, you are either a gardener or a watchman
Whoever justifies this is a thief. If your pay is not good you have two options. Either approach the employer to discuss the issue or quit for a new job. Stealing is a sin against God in the first place
He has worked with you, not for you. 17years is not a joke. If is the 1st time, please recall and pardon him.
typical Ghanaian employee. typical Ghanaian mentality. steal and call it something else. thinking they are being smart.
Ghanaians are naturally born thieves
Good...we live by principles and not stupidity
SOMETIMER,you're a self-confessed thief like all those finding excuses for the driver's fraud.
He should have reported the matter to Police so both the employees and the fuel attendant can be dealt with by the law. It was two crimes being committed here do both should be punished according to the law
THE DRIVER BETREAD HIM TO HIS WIFE...THATS ALL
That is how Ghanaians behaves ,like begging even someone is nailing you down. Punishment must work and those who help you to climb must be revered.
Thanks for doing the right thing. When people sweat to establish businesses, and the youth of today are employed, they try to prove to the owners of the businesses that they know how to spend money better. That's why many of ...

You set up business in Ghana and employees always wants to manipulate and provide forgery receipts to outsmart management, is that not stealing? He was lucky he wasn't reported to the police
Stealing in our working places are not the best thing to do.But someone working for you 17 good years, you should have known him better.
