Management only has themselves to blame when employees aren't trained properly. Nobody is born inherently knowing how to do their jobs–we need to be trained (at least a little bit) to tackle projects at work with efficacy. However, when managers try to cut corners on training, ultimately they're shooting themselves in the foot, because we all know that if an employee is never trained to do their job, all eyes turn to management as things fall apart in the workplace.

This cash center employee in our next story proved to be the bane of his manager's existence, but not because he was in the wrong. After a new manager came into town, he decided to switch up all of their employee's tasks, assigning the night shift worker in our next story to a job he had no training for: Cash sorting. Ultimately, because of his lack of training, the job went sideways and left the regulars wondering why their cash boxes were £65k short. Well, when they all had to stay overtime to do a full recount, the new manager discovered why a little bit of training and explanation would have gone a long way.

After a lengthy night on the job, this shift of employees witnessed the most epic cash-filled confetti cannon as one of the cash boxes exploded with the missing £65,000 dollars. Scroll onward to read the full tale of malicious compliance that made the cash warehouse rain money.
