As someone who has filed many expense reports, if you're caught fudging things, you're going to get fired. That's just a no-no. I've had to counsel people who forgot to remove their corporate card from their lyft account and accidentally charged a $20 ride to it to make sure they pay it back ASAP.

This wasn't an accident. He knowingly double-charged the card to pay for his partner's meal and then lied about it.

Had he been upfront and not lied, and offered to pay the difference, maybe he wouldn't have lost his job.
