Dave said he entered the company card himself to buy Robux for his son, and it then sat saved on the Google account that also carries his work email, calendar, and files. Dave did not say why he used the company card for that purchase.
Man steals from his employer, is surprised to get in trouble for it 🙄

Hey everyone found the bootlicker

Keeping company card saved to an account that is not expressly used for work is a bad idea. Not sure how that makes one a bootlicker.

Google saved it not him, I’ve had my fuck you Google do the same, I had to delete it and mine was a personal. Besides that fuck off bootlicker, anyone defending corporations or trump can bite the fuckin curb

Defending Google? He used a company card on an account to pay for Roblox money. Shouldn’t do that. If he had not done that, then he would not be on the hook for so much money. Also, please don’t tell people to injure themselves. Personal responsibility is a thing.
Google automatically saving credit cards is scummy, and should not be a thing.

Also what the fuck kind of company expense is Robux anyway? I’d get some questions from the tax authority if I did that. If you’re going to use a company card for personal expenses, at least do it for expenses that are believable as company expenses.

We don’t know what kind of company it is or what kind of job this guy does. It’s unlikely-but-possible that researching a gaming platform aimed at kids is a reasonable business activity for him.
