There are many ways to steal from your employer...office supplies, cash, time. If your supervisor is stealing, would you tell the boss?

I would tell the boss. Stealing is wrong, no matter what.

If you get fired for exposing a thief, it's probably not a company that you would want to continue working for anyway. .

I'd be mindful of the office dynamics but my first inclination would be to tell the boss.

If a supervisor is stealing then that person has no scruples and could easily involve your name in order to pass the buck. Best to rat out the supervisor than to go down with the ship when you are innocent.

looking at it from THAT aspect i can definitely see the sense in your way of dealing with the situation.

I had a boss that was embezzling once. If I had known about it, I'd have spoken to the owners of the company. Stealing hurts everyone. .

It could totally backfire and ruin my career. I'd keep quiet.

If my supervisor found out I was the one who turned her in, my life could get very difficult very quickly. I'd try to find a way to turn her annonymously or "help" the boss discover it himself.

I think that there is NOTHING wrong with doing that, justice is served and you still keep your job.
