Dont be too hard on the accountant, he has no power at all, even routine cheques have to be signed by the CEO.. I was promised payment of final wages, and date was agreed. I was leaving Aqaba the next day, so prompt payment was vital. The management tried to delay payment. It would have been difficult for me to chase money once I had left the company, so I complained. The accountant couldnt help. The COO at Coventry tried, stating that I had delayed my departure, to help get students through an exam, no joy. So I resorted to direct action. I walked into office and made threats, I phoned head office in Amman, I got my money, but you have to get nasty. Get legal if required.
But the accountant has lasted as long as he has by looking and acting dumb.. if he hadnt, he'd be one of the 1.5 million fired..
