The Things we Never learn...

Hai…..2 years on and I still have to deal with the issue of the “sacredness” of the master account. Not everyone gets the privilege of charging things into the master account, and as the keeper of the master account, I have to be very strict with it.

 

The master account is the account setup for each group event and only authorized individuals i.e. the organizers are allowed to sign their bills into the master account hence the “sacredness” of it.

 

I tabulate the final amount to charge them so I am essentially the “keeper” of this account.

 

And I get damn right pissed when my staff just post any charge into it without telling / asking me first. Cos in the end when there is a dispute about the bill, I cannot do anything about it. Because a bill can easily be the issue of a dispute and result in the whole bill being put on hold until the dispute is cleared. I can only throw it back at you for having posted it without permission and you have to be responsible. So as much as I want to protect your ass, you have to protect your own first.

 

When will people learn????

 

And guess what, being director doesn’t mean you are immune to stupidity?! Did you, as a high and lofty director, ask the client if this is what he ordered and willing to pay for it? You don’t just secretly charge them for things and expect them to pay, and you expect me to CHASE them for the payment??? Go do your own dirty work.
