'Talk about a hot mess': Fabrication shop accountant reveals a car manufacturer's money-grubbing scheme after they gripe about a $250 price difference on an invoice, halting production until they pay up

Every now and again, the blue-collar employees can watch their corporate counterparts implode from their own bad business, and for the fabrication shop accountant in this story, the victory never tasted so sweet. After juggling a nightmare client for years, chasing down invoices and begging their accounts receivable department to close out their open balances, this accountant was fed up with his company's "business partner." 

The thing about a partnership is that communication needs to go both ways, but this client was determined to drive a wedge of distrust and money-grubbing schemes between themselves and their sole supplier. As it turns out, alienating your supplier leads to a supply-chain holdup that can affect the whole company. 

Never mess with your foundation.
