But instead of staying silent and keeping the jackpot, the kind hearted employee decided to notify their employer.

Dr Zul shared the conversation he had of the mishap with this sincere employee on Threads.

When you have an honest staff member who swiftly alerts you of a mistake in the salty transfer. Alhamdulillah, there’s such a big difference when the payment is wrong. Praying that all my team members will have their skills, salaries and commissions increased in 2025. Amin.
