So she still took thousands in cash out the door with her? It sounds like she went right back to work and put it back, but if anyone found out she had taken that money off the property, I doubt she would keep her job. I would recommend not sharing this story with anyone else.

She immediately called her boss. She didn’t get fired. Boss was initially sympathetic. But she lost her promotion. Then had hours cut. So she had to leave.

  Honestly? This sounds like a constructive dismissal - designed to avoid claims of retaliation and victim blaming in a sympathetic case - to me.

    She was a victim. She also showed poor judgment as an assistant manager being fast tracked to manage the store. Also from his standpoint, he doesn’t know for sure if she was being scammed. She could have taken money then gotten cold feet and made up story. It’s a crap situation. Money person at Grocery store also showed poor judgment. I had to ask for the store manager. Which is what article is referencing.

      > She could have taken money then gotten cold feet and made up story Not saying anything about your daughter (don't know her), but there's an easy way to tell: get the phone records and verify the "conversation" took place. It should have lasted longer than 30 seconds. One simple trick unravels 90% of the "someone else made me do it" clusterfucks.

    It isn't illegal retaliation to fire an employee that is the victim of a scam though

      No, it's generally not illegal to fire the scam victim employee. However, it almost certainly looks awful in the press. My point was that the employer was likely trying to distance themselves from any accusation in that respect. Further, constructive dismissal is an offence into and of itself in many jurisdictions, so that stands alone. It's just difficult to prove and prosecute.
