Manager: “HR, I want $500 deducted from every employee’s salary this month.” HR: “$500 from every employee? That’s a lot of money. What’s the reason?” Manager: “The department exceeded its operating budget. Someone has to take responsibility.” HR: “How much did the department exceed the budget by?” Manager: “Approximately $45,000.” HR: “And you believe deducting $500 from everyone’s salary is the appropriate solution?” Manager: “They all contributed to the waste. Some leave computers running overnight, others misuse office supplies, and some employees spend company money carelessly.” HR: “Have you identified the employees responsible?” Manager: “I’m not interested in pointing fingers. Everyone will contribute.” HR: “Did the CEO approve this deduction?” Manager: “I don’t need to explain every management decision to the CEO.” HR: “Actually, you do. Nobody can authorize salary deductions like this without proper approval.” Manager: “Are you refusing my instruction?” HR: “I’m asking you to submit the financial records so we can understand what happened.” Manager: “Fine. I’ll send them. But I expect the deductions to reflect in this month’s payroll.” HR: “Before that, I want to ask you something. Who approved the $18,000 equipment purchase last month?” Manager: “I did. Why?” HR: “The equipment was never delivered.” Manager: “The supplier delayed the delivery. These things happen.” HR: “Then why did you approve full payment?” Manager: “Because the supplier promised to deliver within two weeks.” HR: “It’s been six weeks.” Manager: “I’ll handle it.” HR: “I contacted the supplier yesterday. He says he transferred $9,000 back to your personal account after receiving the payment.” Manager: “That’s a lie! Who gave you permission to contact him?” HR: “The CEO.”
