Management by... trust?

(Baonghean) - I find it strange that just a cashier of a transaction office located in a district of a large bank branch can still embezzle tens of billions of dong from the transaction office. I wonder how they manage to let such serious violations happen? Honestly, I can't help but feel shocked when I see this news in the press.

- This news is shocking, that's for sure. But after being informed about the loopholes in management, it's strange that there are no violations.

- What exactly is that?

- Well, according to initial information, the "big guys" who deposit a lot of money at this branch are mostly acquaintances. Therefore, many "big guys" trusted and "gave" their signatures for free so that this cashier could complete some documents and procedures. They did not think that this was an extremely inappropriate thing to do, because once they had the "fresh signature" of the customer, this cashier could freely use it to do whatever he wanted. In fact, it was used to create documents to withdraw money, "embezzle"... Then when "the horse was used to the old way", this cashier also forged signatures and created fake documents to withdraw a lot of money, many times... And the result is that this person is being prosecuted for the crime of "Abuse of trust to appropriate property".

- Oh, so if an officer commits a mistake, is there still a leader to manage? Can a single officer alone withdraw tens of billions of dong as easily as "taking money out of his pocket"?

- Ah, according to initial information, even the head of this transaction office felt that this cashier was... trustworthy. Because he trusted this cashier, he "lacked a sense of responsibility, causing serious consequences".

- Why are people so gullible? In this time when earning money is extremely difficult, why are people so "crazy" about it and getting "swindled" so much?

- Ah, scammers always create a trustworthy cover. They buy luxury cars, build luxury houses, use expensive items to create a cover... of success. They find ways to "befriend" rich people, people with trustworthy job positions such as law enforcement...

- How difficult, if they really create such a cover, then who wouldn't feel... trustworthy. And every time they feel trustworthy, they are often subjective, easygoing... in management. And every time they only manage based on trust, it's... hard not to make mistakes.

- And the lesson is?

- At all times, we must always manage according to the law, strictly comply with regulations and rules, and be extremely careful in evaluating procedural documents. No matter who, in any situation. If we continue to manage with blind faith, bankruptcy or legal trouble is an outcome that we must accept.
