She was. She cost the company so much money during those 4 weeks when production was closed down that even her bosses loyalty couldn’t save her at that point. Hundreds, if not thousands of orders to clients not delivered, clients pulling back and finding other suppliers for their businesses, carriers refusing to deal with her directly, those were all things that couldn’t be covered anymore

Couldn’t do that, I tried, but being a large open space office with almost 40 people in there. So everyone was in everyone’s business.

I did when I went back in the next day to pick up my stuff. The younger ones were shocked while the older ones thought I exaggerated by quitting. They agreed with the fact that I was cheating saying that I was raising the standard to a point where they couldn’t compete. I still remember our accountant “if everybody did what you did, then the older ones like me wouldn’t have a place to work because you younger people and your computers took away our chance to work”. I do get being afraid for your future and having a resistance to change and low adaptability, so for ones over 50 I really do understand where they were coming from. They were barely learning how to use Facebook at that point…

15 years ago that was quite accurate: notebooks and pens. That company hated anything digital

I still don’t know why she didn’t even think for a second there could be an error in the system.

Unless maybe she was hiding something, maybe stealing funds and hiding them as overstock?
