Stealing from work?
I'm 24 years old and my sister is 21. We both work for the same company. The company deals with developmentally disabled adults. She works in the actual office, and I work in the residential homes, taking care of our clients overnight. About 2 weeks ago I went over to her house and she told me something and made me swear once I heard it, that I wouldn't tell anyone because it could cost her her job. She went on to tell me that she stole pills from work. I instantly got mad. She's not this type of person AT ALL! She said she wouldn't of done it if she had known she could only get $1/pill. She told me this three weeks ago and it's been bugging me ever since. In no way do I want her to be unemployed but at the same time what she did was completely wrong. Her reasoning for doing it are ridiculous as well, she says that "it was bad, but not that big of a deal because the pills were going to be destroyed and thrown out." I'm the only one that knows, so if I say anything, obviously it will come back to me. I just don't know what to do!

Sounds like you really need to discuss this with her. Explain to her how you feel about what she has done and the position she has put you into. It isn't fair. Evaluate her response. I think if it was a one time deal you should probably let it slide to keep your relationship with your sister intact. However, if you don't trust her when she tells you that you have to protect yourself and your job. You may also want to explore with her why she is in need of extra money and help her come up with better ways to obtain it. Also, do some digging and make sure your sister isn't suffering from a drug addiction. The behavior you're explaining would make me a little worried.

Speak to your sister and see if she understands how her actions are affecting you. You can then gauge if this is a "one-off" foolish action on her part or a habit likely to be repeated.

Who cares that the pills were going to be thrown out she fed to someones addiction. She may not know what it's like to try to get someone to stop takeing perscription pills but I do. My aunt is addicted to perscription pills and no matter how hard we try she refuses to quit. It has been so hard on our family. I think the best thing to do is talk to her tell her how you feel and MAKE her understand why what she did was wrong even if it means bringing up how it would feel to be related to someone that was addicted and knowing that someone was just selling them pills as if it was nothing. If it continues you should really tell someone because she could be unknowingly killing someone by selling those pills. Yes she would loose her jog but she wouldn't be killing anyone.
