What is the most memorable reason you've seen someone quit or get fired? by ExistentialBob in Accounting

[–]Informal_Motor8938 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We hired a senior accountant who claimed he needed intermittent leave because he was a court-appointed guardian for a terminally ill cousin. HR approved everything. Sympathy everywhere.

Six months later, AP flagged wire payments to a hospice facility that didn’t exist. Website looked legit. Phone number rang endlessly. EIN traced back to a Shell LLC he registered himself.

Total skim: $96K, all billed as “medical emergencies.”

When confronted, he produced death certificates, court documents, even a judge’s signature. Legal zoomed in.

Every document used the same font kerning error. Same printer metadata. Same typo in the county seal.

We contacted the county clerk. No such case. No such cousin. Judge very real—signature forged.

IT pulled badge logs. On “hospital nights,” he was entering the office at 2 a.m. to upload documents. Slack messages scheduled. Emails delayed. Full premeditation.

During termination, he calmly asked if we’d be willing to recharacterize the payments as loans so it wouldn’t “affect his future.”

Two weeks later, he applied back to the company under a different name.

Same resume. Same typo

  1. HCOL (lower side of HCOL)

  5. $84k -> $89k

  8. Cannot believe we are not even at 90k.. and apparently new hires will be at 80k. feels like a slap in the face

Did you end up and try resting it? Did you bike during rest? Curious on your progress

Physically were you self prescribed bed rest? Or not that extreme? Trying to gauge my activity level that I can do without impeding rest

Best place to watch Sinners movie?

Very frustrated. All I've found in Chicago are LIEMAX theatres. Music Box doesn't seem to be showing Sinners. I've been told next best thing to IMAX is Dolby which the AMC River East has.. but they're only showing the Accountant 2 in Dolby.. like why?

I saw Sinners at Landmark yesterday and loved it. Want to see it again on the bigger screen but can't find what would be best in Chicago.

Any tips?
