Question from a reader:
I work at a galba. A month ago, I reported that a cast member was short 5000 yen in expenses, which led her to suspect the boys and resulted in a big discussion in the store. Ultimately, it became clear that it was likely her mistake, but at that time, she said she wanted to quit the
store. However, after discussions, she decided to continue. Yet yesterday, she said again that she wanted to quit, and after another discussion, she decided to stay, but later sent a long message on LINE saying she really wanted to quit. Although she said she would do her best both times, I haven’t seen any effort from her. I was exasperated and sent a message saying, “Do as you please,” and ultimately had her quit. Now, I am considering suing over the 5000 yen issue, but could you tell me what disadvantages there might be for both me and her?

Issues at Galba and the Risks of Lawsuits: Considering from a Legal Perspective

Introduction

Recently, troubles at galba have been increasingly observed. In response to a question from a reader, I will consider the issue of expense shortages and the associated risks of lawsuits. As someone who works part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, I would like to delve into this issue from a legal standpoint.

Origin of the Expense Shortage

First, let’s organize the content of the question. The issue started when a cast member was pointed out to be short 5000 yen in expenses, which led her to suspect the boys and resulted in a major discussion in the store. Ultimately, it was determined that it was likely her mistake, but she decided to continue working despite saying she wanted to quit. However, she later expressed a desire to quit again, and ultimately, she was made to leave. What is concerning here are the potential legal issues that may arise afterward.

Reasons to Consider a Lawsuit

The questioner seems to be considering suing over the expense shortage, but this option comes with several risks. First of all, it is clear that filing a lawsuit will take time and effort. Particularly, pursuing a lawsuit while having a relationship with the cast member will likely bring psychological burdens as well. We need to calmly consider whether it is truly the right choice to resort to legal measures just because of a 5000 yen shortage.

Legal Perspective on Expense Issues

Legally, it is necessary to clarify how the expense shortage occurred. If the cause of the shortage was indeed the cast member’s mistake, she may have an obligation to compensate that amount. However, if a lawsuit is pursued, how to gather evidence will be crucial. Keeping records of the discussions and her statements will be helpful as legal evidence.

Disadvantages of a Lawsuit

We should also touch on the disadvantages that need to be considered. First and foremost, lawsuits incur costs. Legal fees and court fees could exceed 5000 yen, leading to unavoidable financial burdens. Next, there is the possibility that the lawsuit could drag on. This could lead not only to mental stress but also to a waste of time. Especially considering the relationships of people working in the unique industry of galba, the impact of a lawsuit could be immeasurable. It could not only damage mutual trust but also worsen relationships with other staff.

Don’t Forget the Emotional Aspect

In addition to legal considerations, emotional aspects must also be taken into account. The fact that the questioner sent a message saying “Do as you please” suggests that he was also under considerable stress. In complex human relationships, emotional reactions often lead to further troubles. It is important to make calm judgments and act with consideration for others.

What Are the Solutions?

To resolve the expense issue, it is essential to carry out administrative procedures properly. Specifically, reviewing expense management and ensuring transparency could be considered. Additionally, strengthening communication with the cast members and promptly discussing issues when they arise is also necessary. Before considering a lawsuit, it is preferable to choose the path of reconciliation. For example, instead of demanding compensation for the expense shortage, discussing improvement measures for future operations could lead to a mutually beneficial conclusion.

Conclusion

Troubles related to expense shortages at galba need to be considered not only from a legal perspective but also from the viewpoints of human relationships and emotional aspects. Before filing a lawsuit, it is important to calm down and discern the essence of the problem. From a legal standpoint, it is crucial to understand that lawsuits come with risks and to seek other solutions. Finally, in any situation, calm judgment is required when troubles arise. Including legal issues, it is essential to strive for smooth communication and relationship building.
