unformed 0 #1 April 11, 2007 From an old employer for a large sum of money, what would you do? It is undoubtedly a mistake, as you haven't worked for that company in months, but there's a signed check in your name for a couple thousand dollars. I know what the right thing to do is.

eeneR 1 #4 April 11, 2007 I had this exact thing happen to me earlier this year....I suddenly got a check from them, and it had been 6 months. Thing is, it was a payroll check for two complete weeks....full pay period. I called them, and they checked on it. It was of course a mistake. They thanked me over and over and over for being honest with them. But that is just how I was raised.She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It depends on the circumstances of your leaving . . . if they were dicks - then keep it - if it was a pleasant severance - then call and ask.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First thing in my mind was fucking a ... i can pay off my debt, be completely clear. next thing that's in my mind is i know the guy and i know he runs a tight operation and just like the rest of us he works hard to make his business work. as much as karma seems to always fuck me regardless of whether i do the right thing or not ... i know this is something i couldn't live with ... goddammit ... if only, i believed in jesus, i could commit the sin and then immediately repent. edit to add: this isn't a religious thread ... its me a smartass ....This ad space for sale.

Snowwhite 0 #23 April 11, 2007 When we were first married, we received a notice from my husbands employer that they had deposited exactly $17,000.00 more in our checking account than the amount of my husbands pay check. This was in the early days of direct depost, and it had already been two days since the notice had been mailed. . As I stood there looking at this incredibly WRONG amount of money the phone rang, it was the company saying PLEASE DON"T SPEND THE MONEY!! Of course I never would have, but at the time it was about the same amount as the total mortgage on our house. We sure would have been on easy street!skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
