Default Re: 51ee

Good for Angela, she was usually one of the few bright spots in my day when I worked in 51EE.

I'm glad she wasn't fooled forever into thinking Enterprise was a great place to work. I'm also glad that she wised up and received an actual accounting education. I dealt with accounting almost weekly, in particular over fellow co-worker fraud throughout my region(A few employees that faked numbers to get bonuses - faked numbers included the 2pm count, questionable DW schemes, questionable rental policies/rates, along with 5 or 6 other things.) You may say, the 2pm doesnt count in the long run, or the DW sales are just that - but in this particular case, there was a unique bonus structure set up just for a few employees. So let's say he or she'd get 500 bucks for 90% or greater at 2pm for the month, etc.

The biggest change for Angela, is that whatever company, unless it's following the Enron business strategy, will be far more concerned about the honesty of the actual numbers - especially if she works for a public company.

I recall when I worked at E, one level III employee explained that the only reason E wasn't public, is that there was a lot of concern over accounting errors/fudging of the numbers. Wonder if that's true?
