A workplace dilemma has sparked a heated debate online. Jessie, known as @prablums on TikTok, recorded a viral video revealing she faces a hefty $800 bill from her co-worker after an old iPhone took an unexpected dive into water. The question on everyone’s mind is: Who should foot the bill for the damages?

According to Jessie, her co-worker had left her phone inside a large wallet on a shelf when cleaning at the back of the restaurant where they both work.
The Unfortunate Incident
While reaching for soap, Jessie accidentally knocked the wallet into a bucket of soapy water below, completely unaware of the phone.
