[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1450969, member: 4362"] You said this guy was only a part owner so is there another owner that you can talk to and discuss how you think this is unfair? I can't see how you can accomplish anything by turning him in because its you that didn't follow policy so he has a defense and if he found out you did this you'd surely be fired because this would sound like a case of sour grapes. I once did something against policy that had the best interest of my company at heart. I got a royal azz chewing by the pencil pushers who didn't understand how things worked in the field. The CEO caught wind of the fray and he asked me about it and I told him how my spending $300 without approval had netted the company an additional $6000 in profit. After he looked at the figures he patted me on the back and told me to keep up the good work and not to worry about the person giving me the grief and he would take care of him. This sounds like what you were doing. Looking after the best interest of the company. Your intent was to make the sale but things went south on you. Any good manager knows this kind of stuff happens and they also know the worst thing they can do to their employees is to make them afraid to make deals because this will kill incentive. I'd definitely try and find another owner to talk to and if I couldn't I think I'd just take it on the chin and move on and I'm sure there are a lot of ways you could get your money back if you had a mind to.
