I was overpaid one pay cycle and called accounting to see if I had gotten a raise, they were like oh shit! No you didn’t but Thanks, just keep it with the knowledge that your next direct deposit will be almost nothing.

I always wondered if they would’ve ever caught it. But I know for a fact they had to review the whole company’s payroll that cycle to make sure I was the only one.

My wife had to talk me into calling them about it bc I was considering playing dumb. They say they would’ve eventually caught it but I’m not so sure.
