I work as a secretary and handle some of the payments sometimes. Today my boss asked me to look at the SNAP lease we had and to pay the option marked as 100 days. I triple checked that he wanted me to pay that, so I did.
Turns out what he wanted was to make the weekly/monthly payments higher so we can pay it off within 100 days. We're a small company so the almost $2000 I paid are a big deal.
It's only my third week here and now I'm worried about getting fired. My boss only told me to double check next time but I feel really bad.
I know there's nothing I can really do now except turn up my advertising game so we can get new clients. He had just told me yesterday that I was doing great too, so I feel extra bad.
TL;DR: I was asked to make monthly payments higher for a SNAP lease at my job and accidentally paid $1800 in full.
