Once upon a time there was a gifted young lady who started a business that began to do very well. The said young lady hired a book keeper to help run the business by taking care of accounts receivable, payable, taxes and payroll et. The book keeper felt her role was very significant and believed that she had built herself an indispensible role within the business and had become critical for its continued success. However, the business was a service business and the owner, an artist. It was the desire of her foundation and talent that was the draw for the services rendered. The quality of the product she produced was far superior to the competition.
A couple of years into the business, the upswing continued...But the relationship between the book keeper and business owner had strained for various reasons the primary being the fact that the book keeper could not justify the quantity of hours worked and/or needed to complete the book keeping services. The owner begin to question the expenses and felt taken advantage of. So, the book keeper became very vindictive. She called the IRS, and being an accountant knew just what to do and say to cause an audit, a freeze on the business owners business and personal assets and eventually caused the business to have to close after only 5 years. The Business owners credit was ruined. Her family was severely impacted financially, they were forced to over pay for loan sharks just to drive a car, and even work 4 jobs between the woman and the man to support their two children. They went through years of suffering..years of harassment from the IRS. It took over 20 years to get the tax lien off of her credit. This action literally ruined her life, eventually destroyed her marriage and changed the route of the whole families future.
Was this jealousy? Was the outcome deserved? What could have been was never achieved and the actions of one bitter co-worker destroyed the entire future of another....and impacted the lives of a family. Hate is a bitter card to play....and vengence is one game everyone should walk away from.
That was almost 30 years ago...the vengence of that one book keeper broke the hearts of many...by creating....then reporting a tax problem to purpose hurt someone else. HOW SAD!
People need a chance....don't sweat the little things....walk away...Only you can find your place in the sun...step out of the shade...move around till you find it....but don't block someone elses sunshine with your shadow...We only have this one life...live but most importantly let others have their chance at life as well....I wouldn't want to be the book keeper when she finds out ...her Choice of action
affected adversely the life of soooo many.....and yes...there is such thing as TOO LATE....
Where does all the bitterness come from...?
