Hubbys job at risk because of family

DH trusted his brother with his Clubcard employee card. He gave it to his partner to use as she was doing the food shops. She’s been caught twice stealing with a trolley full and hubby is now being investigated at work. Apparently BIL knew she had a habit with stealing as he already pre warned her not to use the card if she is going to be stealing. I should add that they are very comfortable and don’t need to be stealing. She is the other woman and I have never been able to gel with her. Now i can’t bare the thought of being around her even more. DH is in a management role so i can imagine they are going to take this very seriously.

I feel like DH is downplaying it all because he doesn’t want to rock the boat but I am fuming!!!

Am I over reacting? Hubby says he didn’t want to tell me because he knew I’d over react. She’s potentially put my husband at risk of losing his job.

unfortunately the loaning of his card to his brother is the fraud element that the employer will be investigating. He risked his job as soon as he did that.

retailers have very strict staff discount rules and make it clear that breaching these is gross misconduct. He may need to start job hunting.

Shell be using the scan shop. Not scanning or scanning cheaper item.

he must give an honest account of what happened and how he had no idea this card was used by a third person. I would even tell them that afterwards the BIL told him he told his partner not to steal and he had no idea she did this.
do not fabricate. Go to citizens’ advice, a union or a free for the first hour solicitor for advice before he says anything. In fact pay for a good solicitor.

I’ve just listened to the voice notes! And I’m so embarrassed by DH (in the weakest little voice) telling his brother he might have to stop using it now 🤮🤮🤮

He’s downplayed it all to me.

Ask your husband directly if he’s shagging the thieving woman as well.
