>>I think stupid accountants is too harsh here. If you miss that the I in your bosses email address is really a 1 (do you even look at the email address?) How would you know any better?
Accountants are paid to be extremely detail-oriented. If your accountant can't tell between a 1 and the letter "l", how can you trust him/her to not miss that the amounts he/she is keeping track of and paying don't have extra (or missing) zeroes in them?
edit: not sure why this is controversial. Then again I do have high standards when it comes to hiring people into positions that require paying attention to details.
- HeyLaughingBoy 11y agoProbably because the detail you're hiring them for (looking at financials) is not the detail this thread is about: looking at email addresses. The reality is people are not robots and tend to focus on only one thing at a time. That won't change.
