Here’s a new one. I’m really unsure what to do about this…
I’ve heard through the grapevine the following tale of despair…
My boss bought too much furniture from Office Depot or some place and called to return it.
Instead of having someone pick it up and take it back to the warehouse, Office Depot decided to donate the furniture to the Salvation Army who came to pick up the furniture.
My boss being the man of questionable ethics that he is, paid the driver from Salvation Army $50 to leave the furniture and say he picked it up.
The result -
My boss gets his money back.
My boss gets to keep the furniture.
Office Depot unknowingly files an incorrect tax document.
Salvation Army doesn’t have furniture they could use.
This is wrong on so many levels.
The dillema is..
Since I didn’t witness this myself, do I ask my boss about it and find out if it’s accurate?
Do I just let it slide and tell myself the person probably got some facts mixed up?
Do I run screaming into his office waving my resignation and calling the police on the phone? (Since he’s allegedly stolen what probably amounts to thousands of dollars in furniture.)
Sadly, since I can’t seem to even get an interview anywhere, I’ll just sit here and not say anything…if I could get an interview I would be tempted to quit. Hell, the recruiters won’t even call me!
I’m pathetic. For now I’m faced with the old dillema of…If you don’t do something to help someone or stop something bad, are you an accomplice?
UPDATE: I got confirmation from someone who overheard my boss bragging about it. Apparently he topped it off with “Isn’t America great?”
