I was hired by the VP of the department and never really met my boss.  First day, I met him and found out that we were all (about 5 of us) going to a show and vendor meeting in Detroit the next week..  OK, so I started figuring out what I was supposed to do and made plans for the trip.

We all arrived in small groups in Detroit and planned to meet at the hotel restaurant for dinner.  Something was wrong.  My boss who was Chinese got a phone call and turned white as a sheet.  He quickly had a private conversation with one of the other guys.  At dinner they announced that the VP, the guy who hired me, had been fired for improprieties in his expense account.

Rumor had it that he was purchasing and expensing airline tickets then returning them and buying new tickets for miles, thereby pocketing the ticket price.
