Always Check Your Statements
Dec. 2nd, 2009 09:52 amTom Quirk, Lead Singer of Too Much Joy, dissects his Warner Brothers' royalty statement and shows how it's basically BS.
I've worked in a big corporation's corporate finance department and spent the last 8 years of my life dealing with the medical industry. I don't believe that Warner Brothers is evil per se, but it sounds like they're willfully incompetent. From my experience, this is fairly typical for big companies. No employee is rewarded for finding the mistakes that cost the company money.
In the end, you're responsible for protecting your own financial interests.
