I have a job where I have to pick up payments from some clients and drop it off on a certain day of the week to the owner. There’s a manager and the owner. The manager reaches out to the client and asks them for a check for the month of November. The client responds that they gave it to me last week. The owner responds and says it wasn’t received until yesterday as I was on vacation for a bit. He proceeds to let her know that it’s taken care of.
I was confused why he phrased it like that when he chose for that day to be the drop off day for checks. I also was not on vacation last week…overall I just feel like my higher ups not checking with each other about the checks and going to the client and then the client saying they turned it in to me makes me look like I did something shady with the money.
