That first story was CRAZY unsatisfying.

Feel something is off with the story. You give them your copy of the transaction and then walk off without it? Talk about investigation for about 90k, all these big title people involved and everything goes to smoke? Also not knowing who took the fall when they trying to pin it on you?...

Thanks for the heads up. I listen to these stories to chill and decompress and I hate it when I end up all frustrated…

Simple. They cooked the books. All they had to do was show a $90k dispersement on a fake claim to cover the difference in an audit. Odds are the audits would only look at the book keeping and not the actual records of verification. And as for this particular transaction, you simply destroy the original record, and redo it so that the transaction looks like it was handled correctly. With the two of them in cohoots, forging the records would have been a fairly simple task all things considered. And then they both swear to take what they did to the grave. The only loose end would be OP. And that is assuming that she has the ability to pull the transaction records again and verify that the new documents were forged. But either she didn't care to look, didn't want to deal with the inevitable micro managing audit that would come as a result of the investigation moving forward, or simply didn't want to see a change in management. Regardless, she has her own reasons to keep quiet. But that file is probably in a safe deposit box in an evelope reading, "Break glass in case of emergency".

​@@superdave8248 nope. It never happened. If he really cared about the 100k, he should have gone above chain of command, or even sought whistle blower status, earning him a fat finder's fee.

Story 1: OP did say that she made a THIRD copy of the paperwork...pretty sure that last copy was somewhere safe. But I agree that it should have been presented to the investigators.

You really world think that these bosses would stop and ask themselves questions when someone asks for something in writing, especially if it's signature related. Shit flows downhill, until it stops with the person who authorized the move.

I worked corrections for years. You HAD to ask for time 3 months out. I ended up sicking the union on them because they wouldn't approve your time and I was hemorrhaging weeks of time. And yeah, everyone is disposable. It's insane.

Something I'd do differently on that last story...my current boss says that it's harder to get it in writing if you ask them to send you an email. Instead, you send the email yourself, stating something like "As per our conversation, I am to log each ticket separately, and each is logged as a minimum of 15 minutes. Is that correct?" This is especially the case when bosses want you to do something shady. Best case scenario, they realize that this is a bad idea, and backpedal on it. Or they don't respond, and you don't do whatever the shady thing was. Though sometimes they'll confirm that yes, they want you to do the thing. Then when you do the thing, you have clear orders, and the fallout goes to them, not you.

#1 was perfectly avoidable. This is a case where I am sure the employee handbook mandated to report the problem above the chain of command. As whistleblower, he could even have been entitled to a massive finders fee. If he had worked 5 years in a law office he ought to have known that. So the story seems implausible or even misrepresented. I am guessing what really happened is that he screwed up, and that those documents routinely were in piles that td and tl would routinely sign sight unseen based on the case worker's input.

For the OPosting's comment about taking the file home: you can't do that, as you're taking someone's personal information out of the work place. She could have put it in her locker (if they have any), hidden at the bottom of a rarely used filing cabinet, etc. My personal favorite for hiding paperwork is to take out my middle desk drawer and very securely tape the top and bottom of a big yellow envelope under the desk. Replace the drawer and nobody will know but you. Taping the entire edge prevents anything from accidentally hanging up on the envelope when the drawer is opened or closed.

Story 1: I would have kept multiple copies in multiple places and a scanned pdf copy (assuming that technology was modern at the time)... since you never know what might happen. Sounds like the last copy of what happened went "missing" and this might have been swept under the rug... Story 2: Good job Cool Captain. Sometimes that's all we need. Story 3: Sad how much CYA is involved sometimes... Thanks to all 3 OPs and KCC for this one.

Property transaction story: The bosses were idiots and full of themselves. When they were asked to sign and date each of the problem areas OP circled, that should have sent so many red flags flying there wouldn't have been any air left to breathe. Yeah, somebody screwed up, them! PTO story: That fill-in captain knew how to keep his troops happy. Yeah, I've never been a fan of the "for profit" prison system given how corporate companies will cut corners to create larger profit margins to everyone else's detriment. Not that the government actually does any better. IT ticket story: So not only OP's malicious compliance, but some from the CTO and CEO as well. All without having to directly override OP's supervisor. Lesson learned.

Ahh the first story was epic when the boss knew they F up so badly - Also the mention of "Victim and perpetrators" remind me of the TV series Person of Interest

I love person of interest.

Story 1, they didn't think about the folder because liars are bad with details. Completely fake story. There is the explanation.

I once ate a apple.

My boss put me under review because I wasn't polite enough when we were taking out trash, these guys pile up the trash can in front of the back door blocking it (a serious fire hazard) and I got reprimanded for being "too assertive" I told another boss who as type A as can get, and he was annoyed but said there's nothing he can do, to which I said "I know, but you don't escort people out a burning building 'being nice' "

It's like in Gravity Falls, where they get all that evidence against Nathaniel Northwest, proving him to be a fraud. And what do they do with it? They hand the hundred plus year old, original documents over to Pacifica Northwest to "really show her off." If it weren't for the love-potion shenanigans, that would have been the worst part of the show.

I love doing things totally different every 2 years at HD with a new manager. Exactly the way they want things done which do not work.

A long time ago I worked at a shipyard and had been there for almost 20 years. During that time I saw the structure of how jobs were changed. When I got there the usual procedure was for a crew to start on a ship while it was in pieces, then after assembly we would continue on the ship all the way to when the ship was finished so basically everyone would be involved in almost every aspect of the job. Then a new president took charge and thought it would be better to run it like an assembly line and have crews only working certain parts of the job then handing it off to the next crew which meant that the people at the final construction would always be working in a clean environment and have the easiest jobs. While those in the front end would always be working in poor conditions with all the structure welding and grinding and weather conditions always affecting you. The first area was very dirty, wet most of the time and if you have been there a while you really didn't want to be there. I was fortunate to work in the areas just before and after the launch so the ships weren't that bad of shape to work in. They actually had air conditioning in many of the areas during the summer and on the hill as they called it was brutally hot. I then managed to get on a night shift test crew that was awesome! We never wore our hard hats and worked a straight 8 hours so I would be home before midnight and have the next morning to get things done around the house. We had 2 crews on 2 different ships and we would alternate ships we were working on. Finally, the day arrived where all good things must come to an end and they shut down one of the crews which happened to be ours. They sent me out from the cleanest job on the ships to the dirtiest, noisiest place on the hill to work. I worked it about a week and then it was Thanksgiving so we were off for 4 1/2 days. One thing good working there was we could just call in for vacation time. Monday morning I called in for a vacation, followed by another week, and then another week and that particular year was the shortest time between Thanksgiving and Christmas so I had been off for 5 1/2 weeks and the day after Christmas holidays I called in to take my final week vacation. The boss was not happy with me and when I got back I found that he had a transfer slip filled out for me to go across the river and start working on a PSA job. So I was back in a clean area doing the work I liked doing again. So after being on vacation for 6 1/2 weeks I came back to start a job that we were working 12 hours a day 7 days a week and I loved it. But now I'm retired and love it even more!!

The first story is possibly fake OR the OP misspoke and the paper they furnished was a copy of the original that was signed. If that was the only original copy and it was destroyed then OP would be going to jail

Once again, if someone ask you, are you sure, you should definitely do a double check

I dont know. Every government employee ive known would rather risk theor jobs by not doing something than to do something. So i find the first story implausible. But w/e

Hey Rob 👋👍

Am I early enough for some fresh cookies from Karmen?

Good afternoon

I am having a wonderful day today!

tone it down. you don't need to be over the top. I bailed at 13 seconds.

I live in an area that has privatized prisons. The people that own the prisons are judges in the same area. You tell me that they have no incentive to put you in jail, and I'll call you a dirty, lying, *****.
