Yeah, but if they make a mistake saying you kept too much of your earned money . . . you STILL have to fork it over, probably with penalties for being late. Good luck proving they made a mistake, and good luck recouping all the accountant and attorney fees if they did.Griff wrote:That's just depressing!

On the other hand, if they make a mistake saying you could have kept more of your earned money, when later on they figure out it was a mistake . . . you STILL have to fork it over, probably with penalties for being late. Good luck proving they made a mistake, and good luck recouping all the accountant and attorney fees if they did.
Still I like the 99.9 % thing - my veterinarian friend and I compare 'shop' notes quite a bit, and one of the key differences he enjoys is that 99.9% success in his field would be awesome, vs. a bad reputation in many fields of health care. A 99.0% in health care would likely get you drummed out of practice in many areas! I try to remind my staff of that when they are all anxious because some patient who is in a hurry wants them to rush through something.

Re: If only 99.9% is good enough then:
In Pharmacy as well, 99.0% just wouldn't be good enough. Would you want to be that 1 in 100 or even 1 in 1,000 who is either diagnosed incorrectly and dies from it or has a prescription filled wrong and dies from it?

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.
