Have you thought about giving the option to link to paypal accounts?

Early adopters will not have venmo accounts but will have paypal accounts. You may get more new users if you give the option to use funds in the paypal account. The service could at minimum send the user an e-mail with a link to the paypal destination and amount.

Sorry if it wasn't clear, but do NOT hack the accounting software to steal from the company, or try to date a local waitress or leave fish guts all over your cube.

Pull an "Office Space". I am serious. Only go into the office when you feel like it. Do things that you enjoy, watch some kung-fu movies with your kids or whatever. It can take months to fire someone as long as you don't get into a fight, and you'll get severance. When your boss gives you shit about your work hours, literally tell him "Sorry, I have a meeting with the consultants" and leave for the day. You're talented, you'll get another job, and there is a decent chance you will not even be fired. They will let you work from home or in a different dept. after your boss complains about you to his boss.
