So, he asked for advance, but did not get that, However he had his job left and was probably going to be paid tomorrow or the 1st.

Now he killed his boss, which result in both prison and that he have no job more. No job, no income! Good Result!

He has been removed from the employee of the month nominee list…

 

maybe now a candidate for an anger management class….
