How's this for having a real asshole as a former boss?

Georgia man receives final paycheck in pile of coins on driveway

ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia man said his former employer owed him a pretty penny, $915 to be exact, after leaving his job in November.

But Andreas Flaten said he was shocked to see his final payment: 90,000 oil or grease covered pennies, at the end of his driveway earlier this month, news outlets reported. Atop the pile was an envelope with Flaten’s final paystub and an explicit parting message.

“This is a childish thing to do,” Flaten said.

Flaten said he left his job at Peachtree City’s A OK Walker Autoworks in November. He said he was owed the final check and had difficulty getting it, even turning to the Georgia Department of Labor to receive help.

In mid-March, Flaten said as he left his house with his girlfriend he noticed the pile at the end of his driveway. He said the pennies were covered with some sort of oily substance.

Now his nightly routine consists of cleaning the pennies so he can cash them in. He said it took him about an hour and a half to clean off several hundred.

“I think that’s going to be a lot of work for money I’ve already worked for,” he said. “It’s definitely not fair at all.”

The owner of the shop, Miles Walker, spoke with WGCL-TV briefly, stating he didn’t know if he did or didn’t drop the pennies off at Flaten’s house.

“I don’t really remember,” Walker told the TV station. “It doesn’t matter he got paid, that’s all that matters.”

Walker went on to call Flaten a “weenie.”

1. I believe one of the reasons Flaten quit was the 'toxic' work environment

Who could doubt that after this story?

Walker went on to call Flaten a “weenie.”

Walker must have major personality disorders. Or maybe the mental age of three.

2. I bet it was just an honor to work for that asshole

Quitting must have been the fun part of that entire experience.

3. "I don't really remember," Walker told the TV station.

Yeah, right. That's a little over 500 pounds of pennies to acquire, contaminate and deliver and he doesn't really remember.

I know who the weenie is here: Walker the Weenie Wanker.

4. I'd be suing the fucker.

A friend told me that a guy in town (up at the county seat) did that to her husband. I would have sued for littering on private property, obstruction and anything else that applies.

5. Find someone who owes money to the company.

Find someone who owes money to the company.

Offer to pay their bill if they give you 95% first.

Then pay the bill in uncleaned pennies.

6. Get a sample of the "oily substance" to the EPA...

sounds like pollution to me.
