Well not fired, but demoted. I refused to help my manager with a little "supplemental income project" he had going. Just didn't seem right to me. Well that and the fact that it amounted to felony theft. My income was immediately reduced by over $50K.

With a little luck I'll be back to the same level of income in a year or two. This happened 12 years ago.

My manager...yep they finally caught him. He was terminated. Turns out he was stealing / skimming / extorting from vendors / you name it. Everyone else involved survived / incomes intact.

All this either makes me a good guy or the dumbest *** that ever lived?
