Due to a mix up with multiple circumstances, a company hadn't been invoiced in 4 months (about £12,500)
That was my job, but I hadn't been informed it was, and no-one had reminded me. The only reason I stayed on is because I'd been crucially told to ignore the piece of paper given to me, as it only contained addresses, which I'd now entered onto the system. That also contained invoice instructions, which I'd never looked at.

Realistically, it was my fault, but I couldn't be 100% blamed, as no-one else had checked before telling me.

However, this was bettered later by one employee who hadn't invoiced a company for around £35k.

I take it he approached the problem properly and correctly?
Or did he do what most people would do and go batshit mental?

That is rather impressive.
"Quick, check that expenses receipt! Did he put £19.99 in his car, or £20.00?!"
