Employee monitoring may reveal not only unproductive employees or data leakages. Sometimes, it can bring to light unbelievable financial frauds inside the company.
An insurance company opened a new office in San Antonio and appointed William as its head. William was a young and ambitious manager who showed amazing results in his work, and the leading position in the new office was a promotion opportunity for him.
William took up work with great enthusiasm and responsibility. Under his leadership, the new office showed stable growth, and the staff increased to eight employees.
However, the growth rate slowed in ten months. William reported that the number of clients was increasing, and the staff could not manage the workload. He asked to hire three more employees and received approval. However, it did not change the situation - eleven employees did not bring much more revenue than eight. William assured that those were temporary difficulties, the business would pick up soon - but he needed to hire two more employees.
William was fired, and the work of the San Antonio office was reorganized.
