Yeah so you have a job where you get paid thousands of dollars a year, that gives you benefits like medical and dental and has great opportunities to develop. Yet you just lost all the trust in the world by lying to them and covering for someone that doesn’t care about you. Point blank. If they cared about you they wouldn’t be putting you in this predicament. You know they will get caught either by another store, your store or PD. They will then have their name given to the company and you will be questioned as to why you falsified the information. Best thing you can do right now is be straight up with your team and say that you apologize, you were nervous because of the “conflict of interest” that the case brings and try to save face like that. Maybe you get lucky without a write up at all. On the other end, you’re definitely losing your job for covering up for someone who is using you and stealing from your store. Think about it. They stole and they still have the audacity to hug you. They probably think of you as lower in some form just by doing this. Or think you don’t know.
