'My mom ends up ruining the life of her ex-boss': Head of Finance gets caught making financial 'irregularities' for decades

This woman managed to turn lemons into lemonade, even as she was getting fired from her job. We admire her can-do attitude, and her kid clearly did too, since they shared Mom's story to the malicious compliance subreddit.

When companies do less-than-legal activities, they often try to make it seem totally normal. They need their employees to believe it's perfectly normal to bend the rules… and bend them some more… and keep bending them. By the time an employee has fully broken the rules, they won't have any way to defend themselves if legal issues come up.

For this accountant, finding constant "small irregularities" was the norm. This did raise some red flags for her. She immediately knew what her boss was doing when he then hired another fiance person who had just graduated college: he was setting up the new person to take the fall. Read through this excellent story below. The original poster edited the post to add addition details, as well as noting that the positive reception "made their mom's day".

Next up, read all about these people on social media who couldn't help but overshare, like one couple who aired all their cheating drama on social media.
