working class or not stealing is stealing the prob is we employ anybody now i remember when i first joined i had a wait of about 4 months to even get an interview.
Im sorry for your loss but believe me sometimes the ones you think you can trust are the ones who let you down.
If you know someone who works in the office I would ask them to slip a card in your pigeon hole and to just keep an eye it would be eay to track if you have someone on the inside.
And then you need to remove the hands from the thieving scums body.
Or is that too harsh.

Well, I will have had to wait two-and-a-quarter months if I start on my given start date and before then, I have one day's training. They checked five years' worth of work history and references, my tax and national insurance and criminal record, so that's not bad for the purposes of checking credentials etc. What do you reckon?

If you have concerns about new people, I am sure you will get used to them in time, especially if they treat you nicely.

Sorry don't see the problem. Tattoos, Body Piercings, people having horns implanted and branding all going on its personal choice and I don't think we should exclude people who practice it.

Sort of agree with you TBT but it doesn`t present a good image of the company, to the general public. Saying that we have some frightening looking blokes in our place, and theres not a tattoo in sight.

You get decent people of all colours, shapes & sizes. You also get complete tossers of all colours, shapes & sizes. I take people as I find them. What do a few tattoos matter. Talk to the bloke.....you never know, you might find you get on well with him!!!
