In Reply to: Is it possible to pad line counts? - Curious

In the 80s working at a hospital there was a girl who made $$$$ and yet was taking off most of the day. The other MT and I tried and tried to find out what was going on. Finally I found a disc (we typed on those then) she had pulled in old work from past and somehow put that under her day's work to count big lines. The police were called in- she was fired and the hospital wanted to make a suit against her. It never went anywhere. What got me is I had told the supv. something was wrong, no way possible for her to do and the supv told me I had a case of green grapes - in other words I was jealous I could not do as much! The supv. only lasted about 2 weeks more after the girl was caught- don't know if the supv retired or asked to leave.
