[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember the first month of a job I ran a query that made it seem like we should be anticipating $x over what was budgeted. I ran to my boss and showed him my discovery with pride.

Turns out there was a flag in the data that I didn’t account for and revenue was actually $x short of what was projected.

I learned my lesson that it takes months/years to understand a dataset before making grand explanations.[/quote]

Ha. Reminds me of when the large law firm I worked at had the bonus checks calculated by a new employee in finance that was fresh out of college. Like, literally FRESH - she had just graduated from college in Dec and we received our bonus checks at the end of January each year. I can't remember what she did, but she effed up the decimal point when multiplying by a % and no one caught it until the really big checks went to get the required 4 signatures (any checks over $500k needed 3 partner sigs & the CFO sig). The "smaller" checks had already been disbursed and hit accounts and all were WILDY inaccurate.

Oddly, she was not the shortest employment ever. We had a summer associate get caught shredding documents to get out of filing on day 2 of employment.
