I was talking to someone today whose boss seems to have lost all sense of reality.
Not only has he gone and blown the rest of the money that is supposed to keep his company running until the beginning of the next fiscal year, but he’s also over committed his company, to the tune of about $125,000. That’s not pocket change.
Where is the fiscal responsibility? Where is the accountabilty? After all, if I’m one PENNY overdrawn, you can best bet the bank is hitting me with fees and with legal action. But I guess companies are different. At least in my mind, there’s a big difference between a penny and 12500000 of them.
Of course, if I were in a position of power, you can bet that if I overspent my budget by 125,000, I’d be looking for another job. Especially if I made empty promises that I could not deliver on.
(And before you ask if that 125K is out of 11 million or 1 million, know that it’s actually from a budget of about $950,000.)
Yet, I’d lay dollars to donuts that this “supervisor” will end up with a hefty bonus, while his employees are left scrambling for crumbs to keep the company afloat.
What IS the world coming to?
