"Don't look at me !" : That's what I said, one day before our plant closed for Christmas-New Years shut-down for holidays a few years ago. This happened when the Controller asked me to make bank deposits for our 5 top executives of their year-end bonus checks. (The executives had already left early that day and were taking their holiday time-off) The executives banked at 5 different Dallas banks, and it would have taken me a half-day out of the office to do what was asked. And I was in the middle of making year-end closing entries. What was amazing, those particular executives had unusually large checks....the largest was over one million....the smallest was $400,000....and they were too lazy to come pick them up....and asked that I make their deposits for them..... I restrained myself because I almost said, "HELL NO !!". The next year I retired, and I was glad to be gone.
