What is going on everyone and welcome to R slash pro revenge. Now in today's first story, a horrible translator gets fired in the best way possible.

How I got our translator fired. I was working a job that had me operating in one of our offices overseas.

We would have business expenses and those receipts would be in the language of the country we were in, obviously.

Those expenses were for things like printer ink, office equipment, cleaning services, marketing

costs, all pretty stand stuff. Well, around this time, we got a new VP over our region,

who worked out of a head office in LA. This VP came up with the brilliant idea to hire a translator,

to translate all of the receipts to make sure we weren't sneaking in BS.

Fair enough. However, the issue that arose was that we had to send our expenses to the translator,

who would translate the receipt, then submit for reimbursement. The problem was, this translator was a real Karen type.

She would demand better scan to the receipts, oftentimes after we had already thrown it away.

She would argue if we really got the best deal on whatever we bought. I remember in one transaction on about $200 of ink cartridges, she asked me why I didn't order online from this common website,

to which I said they were out of stock at the time and we needed the ink so we bought from a local store.

To which she said, I was spending too much money.

To which I said, it's none of your concern. Your job is to translate the receipts? To which she said, if I want her to admit my expenses, I need to be nice to her. And then I said she needs to learn her place. She's a translator, not a VP that gets to instruct me what to do. After this encounter, she started being extra difficult with my expenses. So one day, I came into the office early to call her and try and work things out. She basically told me that I screwed up by annoying her. And she expected my expense reports to be perfect or she wouldn't submit them unless they were. I told her if she keeps this up, she won't have a job much longer. She laughed and

wished me well and hung up. A few months later, we had our annual meeting in LA and after the meeting

we were at a bar and I walked up to our VP and started up a conversation. I steered the conversation

to expenses and I asked him how much in monthly expenses did he typically

reimburse us for in the country we worked out of. He said about $3,000 to $4,000. I acted surprised and

asked, is that all? He goes, yeah. To clarify, that $3,000 to $4,000 is the typical spend and he said,

yeah, it rarely gets above

$4,000. So I ask him about how Karen R translator is doing. He says she's doing a good job,

and I nod my head, and I go, how much fraudulent expenses has she called? It's important to note,
