I know i messed up, but I prepaid one of my good hands a few hundred dollars when we got rained out all week. He has shown up for an hour of work since then, made 50 excuses why he cant come for the past two weeks etc. Now he blocked my number, and his wife blocked me on Facebook. Its not the money that matters but its the principle. Is there anything I can do or do I just eat it and let karma and the good lord handle it?

One longtime employee charged thousands of dollars of gas in his wife's car. When we caught it, went back and looked and it had been going on for months. Had several people charge personal stuff on their company credit cards.
Had a project manager buy about $100k worth of dirt from a new company we'd never dealt with before. There was only about $80k in the bid so it threw up a red flag. When I got nosy and had somebody check his company truck we found a check stub from that company made out to him for $9,000. When I fired him, his wife trashed me on Facebook for firing her "loyal" husband. Of course she didn't know why he'd been fired.
Helped pay for a guy's mom's funeral....TWICE. He forgot that he'd already used that one. I still chipped in.
I've got so many more that aren't worth mentioning and I'm sure a bunch that have slipped my mind. There are some crappy people out there.
When you care about your people, it makes you a little vulnerable. That's OK. I'd rather feel good about who I am. You would too.
