Man, this Cody Bellinger news is just the icing on the cake for the Yankees. With Judge and Stanton already out, this hamstring strain really puts them in a tough spot for the trade deadline. Do you guys think they actually have the pieces left to make a real push for a title?

Robert Thomas11 said:I wanted to reach out to those of you working in accounting—who is actually responsible for maintaining time logs? Isn't that strictly the employer's duty? Specifically, shouldn't the employees themselves be recording their own hours? They are currently trying to force us to take this on as part of our accounting duties, which seems entirely impossible, doesn't it? It feels like they want us to just make things up—and if we dare to push back, they’ll turn on us. What is the best way to handle this? How do I explain to them that this responsibility lies solely with management? To me, it seems logical that when an audit or inspection occurs, the logs should already be completed and ready to go, rather than having them tell us, "Wait, let us find those hours"—isn't that a task for the business owners, not the accountants? Do any of you actually manage these records for your clients? We simply cannot seem to find common ground with this particular client...

If they consider themselves professionals, they should already know these basics—these are trivialities, frankly laughable. If they take the hint the first time without being told, sure, you can overlook the error. But if they insist on being dense? Then you can be certain they are cutting corners everywhere else. They’re playing games with their employees, they’re playing games with you, and they’re likely playing games with the government—in ways you aren't even privy to. The fact that they aren't even trying to hide their incompetence is just proof enough of how protected they are. I speak from experience.

P.S. I don't know the scale of this employer, but when I say "protected," I mean they have friends in high places—either at the local municipal level or within the federal political machine.
