Not funny, but still...
This happened in 2003 when I was just grasping the basics of climate engineering. The object was turned 100 km from Minsk and not at all to air conditioners, but to a full-fledged ventilation system with the development of project and accounting documentation. The object was not too difficult, so we finished the work literally in a week. When it came to the question of payment, the depth predictably stumbled. The point is not that, you want too much and all in the same spirit. At first, the bosses gave me the car, and 10 times they said I owe the company $10,000 and that’s my problem. At the time, I didn’t have the skill of twisting the last debitors, but I had to ride on the object on an electric car. in the summer. I wept out. But when I was polite again, I was desperate. Getting off ten pieces of greens to a beginner manager is painful. And my brain, shaken by stress dynamically flowing into depression, rebirthed. The interview with the accountant was brief:
- Maria Ivanovna, we had a tax, fined ten times the cost of the services provided, because of the lack of signed documents. Tomorrow afternoon you will have a check-up. I warned you as a decent man. All the good.
Yes, the money on our account fell on the same day, the customer found all the documents, which each time were "successfully" lost in their light cabinets. The documents came with a terribly important order letter, even sent their own copy.
This was my first job-related bluff. But far from the last...
