20,485 PointsSeems to be an error in one of your associations. (has_many :accounts, belongs_to :employee, etc)
The error seems to be here:
ON accounts.id = employees_projects.employee_id
Somehow the account_id is being set equal to the employee_id, which doesn't make sense. We would need to see more of your code to help you diagnose it further.
