Let's imagine OP was trying to scam the company. The sheer gall of asking for approval on a scam would be so audacious that honestly, it wouldn't be safe to have an employee like that working on anything of value. The level of "fuck you, I don't care" that it would show would mean that the safest thing to do with an employee like that would be to fire them.
The guy didn't ask the basic question of "has OP given us any reason not to trust them?" If the answer to that was "yes", then maybe flying them out to the UK to act on the company's behalf isn't a great idea. And if that doesn't seem likely, then it's probably an employee trying to help and they should be encouraged
A large portion of my job is automating things, and whenever there's a discrepancy my immediate response is to check the automation for issues. Automation brings speed and consistency, but there's a significant difference between consistency and accuracy.
I love when the boots on the ground tell me I screwed up, because then I can pick their brains and make things better!
Our job is to build, but we aren’t experts in the field we are building software for. Detailed, high-quality feedback is insanely useful, because we are trying to get in the head of someone using our product day to day, but we can’t know exactly how or users want to work…

I deal with automation vs manual input a fair bit also, this is really accurate.
As a rule of thumb, when one or two cases go wrong, it's usually human error. If hundreds of cases go wrong at once, it's probably automation run amok.
Oh hell no, I had already relocated to another city in the meantime. Plus the HR manager was present when I tendered in my resignation and said nothing. So no way I would return there
Wheatley wanted everyone to know that he had this doctorate, as evidenced by his insistence in correcting any employee who did not address him as “Dr. Wheatley”. He will be henceforth referred to in this post as Mr. Wheatley.
If I were Bottom, I might not quit if my pay never decreased. I'd take the hit on my dignity to continue getting a Director salary for a worker's job...
Probably she wanted to stall the process as much as posible so that they could bill the service some more before cancelling.
That or they have a script to make the service as hard to cancel as posible and she was just parroting that, without really paying attention to what OP was saying.
