First it was barter, simple trading but it didn't really work as the farmer could only trade with food (which i may not want)

Then it was precious metals/objects. This made it easier to trade but metals are prone to be debased in purity. (Some, such as native Americans on the west coast used rare sea-shells)

Finally it turned into paper currency, which were accepted only with great reluctance (the first try was in Mongolia, all the merchants refused to use the paper currency). Of course printing techniques eventually improved to the point where confidence was invesed into bills.

And now money seems to become more virtual, so to really define it would be a few watts of eletricity in some database. It makes tranactions much easier but it can be destroyed by a power outage, hacker, the bank itself hacking, data corruption. Furthermore Virtual money is harder to trace for law enforcement and not everyone has or uses a card swipe to accept purchases.

*Note only 5% of all the money in the states is real tangible money.

How come a struggling company like a and p allows some department managers to steel money and lots of it by making lots of overtime hours in sores were overtime is not allowed to any other employeel?

If you are correct that only managers are allowed overtime, then I would guess that the corporation feels that having managers work overtime pays off in the long run, that they will save the company more money than they get in overtime wages. They probably feel that other employees should not get overtime since that time usually doesn't pay off. Better to hire another employee than to have all employees trying for overtime.
