A: Hey! Did you hear about Prudential Life Insurance? It's all over the news!
B: No way! What’s going on?
A: Apparently, a lot of their employees, both past and present, were doing some really bad stuff. Financial misconduct, you know?
B: Seriously? Wow. How bad?
A: Pretty bad! They’re saying over 100 people were involved. They sold products that weren’t even from Prudential and basically scammed customers.
A: They made about 20 million dollars! It’s crazy.
B: That’s a huge amount! Did the company say anything?
A: Yeah, the president, Mabara Kan, apologized. He said they'll pay back all the money people lost.
B: Really? Even if the employees are no longer with the company?
A: That's what he said! They’re setting up a special panel of experts to review all the cases. Even cases they previously said didn’t need compensation.
B: So, what made them do it?
A: Apparently, their system rewarded employees based on sales. They linked pay to performance too much.
A: They used the money for, like, fancy cars and watches!
B: Ugh, so unfair! What are they doing about it now?
A: They’re changing the system, improving how they manage people, and trying to make the company culture better. They want to make sure this doesn't happen again.
