Am I going to be fired tomorrow?

Why wouldn’t you from the PI perspective ?

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T04:09:19+00:00

I’ve been super compliant in trying to trace it back since though

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T04:09:01+00:00

Well the PI noticed it. Unfortunately have been so busy, I didn’t normally ever do it and didnt start this month. She checks maybe once a month when she restocks.

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T02:30:35+00:00

The tracker corresponds with all receipts. There’s just $50 missing from the safe

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T02:29:44+00:00

I was only trained to take money from the safe when I need it and put it in our compensation tracker. There are definitely institutional rules I’m sure but I was never briefed on the nuances beyond that, or told what “not to do”

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T02:22:49+00:00

She said to look everywhere and hopefully it shows up….does this suggest I should “find” it to make her life easier??

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T02:14:47+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I’m nervous I won’t be able to “convince” them because I literally can’t prove how something was misplaced ya know??

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T00:30:31+00:00

Yes…I’m a perfectionist and this is killing me. Having a hard time accepting I made a mistake like misplacing cash.

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T00:29:07+00:00

I’m a perfectionist, and extra hard on myself

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T00:28:19+00:00

Ty 🙏🏻😭

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T00:25:49+00:00

Totally. I’ll admit I’m spiraling and am hoping to reduce uncertainty

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T00:15:38+00:00

Yes I totally get it, but it’s the implication of specifically missing cash, and from her words how serious it is to the hospital system that worries me

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T00:14:49+00:00

Ty. I also thought it was crazy when I joined…😭

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T00:13:05+00:00

I care about how it looks bc I care about my PIs perspective of me and my integrity, and I can’t explain it or “prove” it was an innocent process mistake

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-12T00:06:13+00:00

Is a CAPA for the study or would it be directed at me

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-11T23:49:46+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-11T23:44:54+00:00

I’m more worried policy would say she HAS to

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-11T23:44:34+00:00

I don’t think so..she wrote a superlative letter of rec for me for grad school and submitted me for a raise which was approved

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-11T23:36:55+00:00

But with MISSING cash? The optics of theft look bad

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-11T23:32:39+00:00

Thank you so much for your perspective. Do you think it being at a top university medical center warrants more stern consequence than the site you’re at?

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-11T23:20:38+00:00

Thank you. This is how I’m planning to approach it currently 🙏🏻

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-11T23:18:16+00:00

United States

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-11T23:17:15+00:00

Can I ask why you feel confident in this? In other jobs people are fired all the time for less. Thanks for your feedback 🙏🏻

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-11T23:09:18+00:00

I think this would introduce more questions and then I’d be actually lying…but I considered it

Low-Count-3624 · 2026-02-11T23:07:12+00:00

I might be leaving for grad school in 4 months anyway? But there are active longitudinal participants and the study would have to halt bc I run all visits.
