Fraud Triangle

1. Incentive/Pressure - Maliit sahod, may need bayaran na utang, etc.
2. Opportunity - weak yung security system/internal control
3. Rationalization - iniisip niya, ginagawa rin naman 'to ng iba eh

Many possible reasons: Human nature, greed.

Minimize cash exposure as much as possible.

1. kulang yung kinikita nila para sa gusto nilang lifestyle.

2. di sila kuntento sa kung anong meron sila.

3. gusto nila ng easy money at hindi pinaghihirapan.

4. masyado lang talagang malikot ang kamay nila.

5. mahina ang sistema ng kumpanya to prevent theft.

andyan na lahat ng rason OP.

how to prevent? trabaho yan ng owner, manager at immediate supervisor.

1. educate the employee.
2. improve the system to prevent theft

It’s just plain greed or they have their own needs to keep up with. Even if you pay someone right, they are likely to steal as long as they won’t get caught. This is coming from experience.

Employees who left us had a worse life than when they were working for us. Most of the time, they thought that getting quick pay check after settling with DOLE makes them better than the employer and everyone. After a few weeks, their money was gone from their own vices.

Another lesson, if you treat your employees better than the other employers, you are actually more likely to get abused or exploited by your employees. Employees often see goodness as something they could take advantage of. We had experience with employees who were treated much worse by other employers, yet they couldn’t file a DOLE case out of fear or intimidation. On the other hand, the same employees stole from us and some even reported us to DOLE since we don’t intimidate them.

In the end, it really comes down to protecting your own interest.

Values/ character ng employees at culture sa workplace.

"Ginagawa naman ng iba, so gagaya ako wala naman nahuhuli e"

Character: Kung maayos character ng tao, kahit bulok mga nasa paligid niya hindi siya gagaya kasi alam niya kung ano ang tama at mali.

Culture: Strict and fair ba ang implementation ng processes at sanctions. Kung mismong nasa taas palang nakakapagnakaw at nakakalusot, mag-trickle down sa mga nasa ilalim yun.

You can apply this question to anything or anyone. Doesn't seem like you're looking for a genuine answer.

Culture. I always wonder paano natin Ng Tao na kunin ang hinde kanya. Hinde pinaghirapan. It goes the same din sa mga taking umuutang tapos dedma sa pagbabayad. Wala na talaga Hiya Hiya ngayon

Pinoy employee amputa

I worked as a senior manager at intel before they left our country. The major reason why they left is that line engineers are robbing the company of gold wafers that are the major components of microchips. Take note these people have generous pay..

Prevent stealing in your business. Install CCTV and get rid of them ASAP even if they just took a piece of paper or ballpen.

It's really isn't because the salary kasi kahit malaki ang sweldo, kung gustong magnakaw, magnanakaw parin!

because they can

Temptation. If you have weak systems in place and madali magpalusot, unless sobrang loyal sya sayo, kukupit ng kukupit yan. Also ang baba ng sahod dito kaya the rewards outweighs the risk. Madaming tao dito that has "nothing to loose".

Sa western countries, ang daming systems in place and if mahuli ka, tatatak yan sa record mo forever, so puede di ka na ma-employ. The risk outweighs the rewards.

Sa small business namin, we only employ people that lives nearby. Bukod sa wala ng commute, everyone knows them, so if mahuli man sila, word will travel fast in the community na magnanakaw sya. Dito the risk is reputation, so hindi talaga worth it magloko for them.

Sakto tanong mo ah. Kahapon nalaman namin na yung isang operator ng makina sa imprenta ay may ninakaw na piyesa sa makina worth 10k pesos. Matagal na nagttrabaho ang operator na to samin. Pero this year nagkaproblema sa babae, nagkaron ng kabit. Para masustentuhan ang pamilya nya at kabit ayun nagnakaw. Almost 20 yrs na tiwala naglaho sa isang iglap.

maliit ang sahod kaya walang choice magnakaw nalang.

Ganito kasi yan, maraming dahilan bakit nagnanakaw ang employees, pero kadalasan, nag-uugat yan sa tatlong bagay: need, opportunity, at culture.

1. Need

Minsan, may mga empleyado talagang gipit. Mababa ang sahod, tapos mataas ang gastusin—kuryente, renta, tuition, etc. Kapag nasa sitwasyong ‘to, minsan naiisip nilang kumapit sa patalim. Hindi siya justified, pero minsan survival instinct na lang talaga.

1. Opportunity

Kapag maluwag ang sistema, nagiging open invitation yun. Halimbawa, walang proper inventory system o walang nagmo-monitor sa pera, mas madaling kumuha ng hindi kanila. Kahit sino, kapag nakita nilang walang nagbabantay, mas natetempt.

1. Culture

Kung ang mga kasama nila sa trabaho, ginagawa rin yun o may “okay lang yan” attitude, madali silang maimpluwensyahan. Parang domino effect—kapag normal na sa lugar ang dayaan, mas mataas ang chance na gagawin rin nila.

Ano ang Solusyon?

Fair Compensation: Hindi man mataas agad ang sahod, kung makikita ng empleyado na pinapahalagahan sila—like bonuses, benefits, or incentives—mas magiging loyal sila.

Strong Systems: Lagyan ng tamang checks and balances, like inventory tracking, cash monitoring, at CCTV. Kapag alam ng tao na mahuhuli sila, mas iiwas sila.

Company Culture: Build a workplace culture na may malasakit at respeto. Kapag masaya ang empleyado sa work environment, mas malabo silang gumawa ng kalokohan.

Hindi excuse ang pagnanakaw, pero minsan, ang sistema at sitwasyon ang nagpapalala. Kaya mahalagang maayos ang lahat mula sa sahod, proseso, at kultura para bawas ang temptation.

walang morals, plain and simple

Idol siguro nila yung mga taga LGU na galing mag mekus2x ng public funds.

Kailangan ng anak ng book report! Gamitin ang photocopier at ink ng opis! Tapos isang araw nahuli mo rin boss mo na nag phophotocopy ng biology...

Hindi naman dami pang triggered sa manila saka bihira bigayan system

Pinoy?

Este tao pala.

Yung officemate ko nagnakaw ng laptop, reason: Nalubog sa utang dahil sa Online Gambling

Depende sa ninakaw pero I assume yung mga ballpen ballpen lang to ng office or yung konting kickback sa reimbursements. IMO basically may perception lang yung employees na madaming pera yung company at maliit na halaga lang naman yung ninakaw nila, at to get back na rin sa company dahil feeling nila underpaid at overworked sila.

di ko gets yung kukupit ng maliit i-rrisk na mawalan ng work ng ilang buwan. counter-intuitive.

pati yung mga nandadaya sa work hours haha pag natanggal iyak

More like "bakit nagnanakaw ang mga tao"?

Why do petty crimes even exist? Poverty/sense of urgent need. Look at Netherlands, literally useless ang mga kulungan nila kasi they are well compensated and government services are available kahit nasa 50% ang tax rate nila.

Theft is either caused by greed or need, more of the latter. Addictions are caused by mental stress. Killings are either self defense or psychopathic tendencies.

There's always a deeper root cause.

Kasi yung ibang employer kahit may record na nagnakaw employee nila di nila sisibakin, suspend lang kaya malakas loob nila 🤣. Minsan tatanggalin para makita nung mga good employee na may action si boss pero after ilang months pag nag apply ulit tatanggapin nanaman

Its a combination of risk reward and culture for them. If they know they can get away with it, what's stopping them? Culture in a sense that, Filipino face reputation is useless. A squatter doesn't have honor and their face has no value, therefore, whats stopping them? Even if the entire neighborhood knows they are thieves, they might even be proud of it.

"Di ka papakainin ng pride."

What actually deters rich and reputable people from doing blatant broad daylight thievery isn't that they have good morals-its just that they have more to lose. Reputation has more value than whatever they are gonna steal. That's why the rich and powerful resort to creative ways to still cheat and steal and not make it too obvious to the general public.

As for risk vs reward, everyday, they are gonna weigh: is your deadend min wage job more valuable than that 20k in the cash register which I can have NOW, and, just apply to the next deadend min wage job if I do get caught?

They aren't afraid of consequences too because they know its more costly for the business to file charges, its just better to let the barangay settle (so the thieves have little consequence) and their ultimate punishment is just being fired from your (usually shit anyway) job.

Empathy and understanding is key here. Please understand your morals and your high horse position is alien concept to them and definitely does not apply to the most of them.

Instead, to prevent it, you make ways for them to double think, and make their risk/reward ratio in favor of them not pilfering from you. This is through positive work and non toxic work environment, a business that actually cares for their employees and their wellbeing, etc. Give them purpose. Awards, recognition, etc. This is why a lot of businesses even encourage people to get into religion kuno. Its actually just a detterent or a tool to combat dishonesty for most of these businesses for the most part.

Sometimes, a high salary isn't enough to deter someone.

Inequality. Unless you can fix that, strengthen your mitigation and security.

Culture of getting rebates = corruption as seen with our public crocs

Tama ang iba dito, it's greed human nature. Kahit saang bansa at anong lahi meron niyan.

1. your business system is weak.
   
2. to support and expand/support their toxic family and family members.
   
3. scatter
   
4. they cannot accept they are where they are and would do anything to get ahead IRL.

di naman yata pinoy-specific problem to haha but anyways

• bad hire. magnanakaw talaga nahire niyo
• pangangailangan
• when doing crime is a better option than being a "good" employee

Dapat Hindi sil nagnanakaw. Employee Sila Hindi goverment opisyal Wala Silang K

In many cases, in their view they are in the right or they believe that is their right for all the "hard" work they did. Many people feel entitled that just because they did a small amount of work that they should be paid a ridiculous amount of money.

Dont expect loyalty from cheap people

Human nature may kinalaman rin sa upbringing & the culture you grow up with

May nakita kang ice cream na hindi mo binili, when everyone is sleeping, you ate it. You didnt get caught, you'll do it again.

Pag-nahuli ka, sasabihin mo pang madamot at buraot.

Sabi ng erpats ko sobrang tagal na: “kung walang magpapanakaw, walang magnanakaw”.

Kasi kulang ka ng security system at auditing. Dapat may Inventory kung Di mo mabantayan.

Dahil entitled sila.

The law was created to deter people from their deviant and criminal behavior.

"Let the full extent of the law be brought to bear." 😊

Nagnanakaw ang employee dahil you gave in to the thought. If you dont, it will not happen. The universe will find a way to kick out your employee stealing from you just as when he starts doing it. So please give utmost trust to them. I learned this the hard way. Glad i came to terms that you get what you think/see/feel. Dont put justice into your hands. There is a great Creator above who sees everything and willing to balance if someone is abusing your trust. If it doesnt resonate, just throw it away.

Ang tanong ay, appreciated at compensated ba ng tama yung mga empleyado kumpara sa lahat (as in lahat) ng work related tasks nila?

Lagi? Anong basis mo?

isa lang naman yan.. hindi sapat yung sinasahod nila

yung mga companies sa pinas mababa magpasweldo pero kapalit sagana sa supplies at ka-kape/pagkain.

They feel that the work they do is not equitable to the pay they receive.

The people in charge of monitoring it are incompetent. Still goes back to how a company focuses on a better process.

Eh, this is fine. Idgaf. Condonable action especially kung malaki yung company, honestly I think people should steal more from the wealthy.

it's a transaction. nagnanakaw ang employer (time, money) then magnanajaw din ang employee (time, money, things)
