I'm just learning.
Most of the fuckwits in my office spend their working lives bodging paperwork and records any way possible to reach their desired outcome. (As a junior accountant) this pisses me off to the extreme since I have to do all the paper-chasing. I'm not completely infallible though.....

My desk is usually several inches deep in paperwork of every description. I tried the classic filing trays thing, but my 'pending' file would usually fill a builders skip, never mind a pissy little tray. So it came to pass that a memo requesting payroll to pay a couple of days worth of overtime to someone was 'misplaced'.

Cue payday 3 weeks later, a rather distraught journalist going absolutely ape-shit as he was "really counting on that money". Apparently it was "totally fucking vital" to get him his cash asap.

So there's my expensive mistake. I didn't wipe billions off the market value of the company. I didn't bring down a vital server rendering thousands of employees idle. I didn't even crash a fucking car! I just late-delivered one shitty memo, resulting in a panicky journalist being rendered homeless (apparently it was "fucking vital" because it was to cover his rent) by his inability to raise a couple of hudred quid until next months pay.

It beats me though, how any wanker on a damn good salary (£50k +) can be rendered insolvent over less than £300. Fuck me, I'm on monkey-money and even my credit could easily manage that!

Disciplinary outcome? Nada! I told him to fuck off and wait 'til next month. Nobody besides me ever gives a shit anyway. Perhaps if they paid ME a bit more to run around after these innumerate cnuts, I might be a bit more conscientious.

Screw Him
Like you say, if he cant manage his finances suitably, that's his lookout, not yours.

An applicable saying for you:
"Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."

Especially if the silly bastard is so indebted that he can't make it on that salary.
