I happen to come across a popular post regarding a company's finance department on social media. "Seriously, that person in the sales department is such an idiot!

"Since she doesn't want me to reimburse my bag, then she can forget about reimbursing everything! This time, I'll teach her a lesson about what happens when she offends a member of the finance department!" There are many bashing comments in the comment section, but the original poster doesn't care at all. She continues adopting a haughty tone. "What am I scared of?

This time, I'd like to see what the consequences are for offending a member of the finance department!
