What are bad things you've done? When I worked at a retail store when I was younger I got a bad raise I felt was unjustified. (8 cents) So I started taking merchandise I wanted.
Totally illegal and not a good excuse but I was young and dumb.
Someone confess.
Kept getting passed over for any type of promotion at a job. Even though I'd passed all the training, extra training volunteer stuff, overtime being a good worker, good timekeeping etc. So I could not get a pay rise and was stuck at entry level. I even had some colleagues say how did that person get a promotion over you!?
However as I knew their systems inside and out and my hard work and loyalty wasn't getting me anywhere I decided to use the exploits in those systems to take a lot of money out the cash register. Nobody even suspected I would do that, no one found out as I knew how to cover the paper-trail and I saw how other people were getting caught for stealing so I worked in pre-emptive measures so that would not happen to me.
I'd often earn more money from stealing in a week than I did from my salary +overtime. I was young and regret nothing. Don't piss off your staff as it could cost you more than giving them a little recognition and a salary boost. Side benefit in later life is that I have a nose for people doing dodgy things in work now, I learned to avoid the tells but others haven't.
