"Andreas Flaten said he left his job at A OK Walker Autoworks in November 2020. He said he was supposed to get his final paycheck, but was having difficulty getting it. Flaten said he even contacted the Georgia Department of Labor to get help. In mid-March, Flaten said he finally received the $915 he was owed, but it was not in the form he was expecting. Flaten said he was leaving his home to go to the store when he noticed the pile of oil-covered pennies. He said on top of the pile was an envelope that said "f--- you" and contained his last paystub. "This is a childish thing to do," Flatten said." - KTVU

That is a real petty thing to do and that employer must really hate that guy.

Dude may have upper decker’d the boss’ house prior to this for all we know

With the price of oil going up that’s more than $915

Also stupid if you're a business. The bad publicity from both stiffing an employee and pulling this stunt (which calls attention to the original offense) is going to be expensive.

That would have made a good Seinfeld episode.

That TV station has some serious talent.

Definitely a lot more to this story. I doubt this dude was an exemplary employee.
Posted on 3/25/21 at 11:06 am to Byrdybyrd05
That's pretty awesome actually. He definitely fricked the boss's wife.
Posted on 3/25/21 at 11:07 am to Byrdybyrd05
There's a reason his employer did that to him. He isn't telling everything.
Either way, still pretty shitty and petty to do that to someone.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

So fricked up, yet so awesome at the same time. The dude definitely did something serious to piss off the old employer that much ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

He should have scooped that up and then continued going after them thru the department of labor.
Posted on 3/25/21 at 11:14 am to Byrdybyrd05
I mean...I feel bad for the guy, but it's fricking hilarious.

Keep the pennies and claim they never paid you.

Please tell me that was a weekly paycheck...
He should separate the copper pennies and cash it in for the copper price...

Such a weird thing to run to the media over
Posted on 3/25/21 at 11:23 am to Byrdybyrd05
Is there still a coin shortage? Those pennies may be worth more.
Posted on 3/25/21 at 11:25 am to Byrdybyrd05

There is obviously a whole lot more to this story than is being told here, and I would love to know what said story is to make this guy go find $915 in pennies. Thats gotta be quite the effort!

The kid probably never fixed anything and probably cost the business more money. Also I am sure he had an excuse everytime.
He is going to take time to clean each penny. Come on man!!! Quart of simple green and a garden hose.

That guy must have did something to REALLY piss off his boss. Either he fricked the boss's wife, daughter, or both.
