Based on the earnest way in which it was asked, I don’t think the employee asking knew that the manager wasn’t supposed to be doing that - they thought it was a legitimate incentive approved by the company.
As far as I know the company didn’t try going after the manager about it, but it’s possible I wouldn’t have known about that. I only know the above because I was working in that room re-configuring some tech stuff that needed to be fixed ASAP, while the meeting was happening.
That employee mentioning the time card modification sure did the fired manager dirty, hope they didn’t face serious legal consequences for that.
