'I let her sink herself': Boss tries to make employee falsify reports, employee silently refuses and keeps receipts that get the boss fired

When your job is to keep track of data and numbers for your department, there's nothing worse than realizing the company isn't doing as well as everyone hopes. Everyone wants the numbers to look good. After all, good numbers mean praise from higher-ups, possible career boosts, and maybe even bonuses. But the truth is, it doesn't always go that way. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and report facts that don't paint your team in the best light.

It can be tempting, especially when there's pressure from above, to fudge the numbers just a little. Make the results look a bit better, cover up some losses, or smooth over a rough quarter. But falsifying reports is a dangerous game. It puts your integrity on the line, risks your job, and can backfire on the entire company. Like it did in this story.
