    You caused additional costs to the company by making them do extra work. Do not underestimate how obnoxious accounting can be.

    That's not a defense of corporations, it's an explanation of why they will get mad, and why it often is a firing offense if you do it for a large sum (because then it might even impact taxes as it can be viewed as compensation, or as a loan)
