After signing my contract extension with the Philadelphia Liberty I noticed a little something extra had been added to my bank account. That something extra would total four million dollars. Definitely a huge chunk of change also definitely very clearly a mistake. Some people might push the issue or try to see what they could keep or get away with. Not me though I learned a long time ago when it comes to situations like these being upfront and honest tends to lead to a better outcome or conclusion to the situation. As with this one, would that extra four million in my account be worth the career that I could be jeopardizing? Would the extra money help make up for the fact that not only did I break the trust of my team but I would be allowing myself to act in a way that I know goes against my character? The answer to that question is no, being deceptive or deceitful towards my team goes against everything I stand for and the brand I’ve worked hard to build around myself. After finding the money in my account the decision was simple report it to the team and work to resolve the issue. That evening I was on the phone with my GM’s to correct the mistake and continue to build our relationship.
