I Reported a Theft, HR Blamed Me Instead - Prayer Before Work

Prayer Before Work websiteSomeone stole cash out of her purse at work. She did exactly what you're supposed to do, reported it to HR. And somehow walked out of that meeting being told she should have secured her things better.You weren't the one who did anything wrong. Someone else made that choice. But instead of that being the focus, the conversation shifted onto you, what you could've done differently. Maybe nothing even happens to the person who took it. Maybe it just gets shrugged off, and you're left holding the bad feeling, the missing money, and a sense you're somehow partly at fault.Ecclesiastes 5:8 names this exact frustration: "If you see in a province the oppression of the poor and the violation of justice and righteousness, do not be amazed at the matter." Systems made of people fail sometimes, and knowing that ahead of time doesn't make it hurt less, but it can keep you from concluding something's uniquely wrong with you.Submit Your StoryOne verse.
