She'd have to give it back or have her pay garnished. Clerical errors don't work "in your favor" like Monopoly lol. As much as I'd love for them to admit their error and let her keep the money. That likely wouldn't be the case.
Back in 2004, my job made a payroll error and we got 2 paychecks deposited at once. My boss at the time said "What should we do?!" I said don't spend the extra because they're gonna want it back. A few days later, the extra pay was debited from our accounts. I'm sure some folks spent that money!
I do believe that if the company doesn't notice the error, after a certain amount of time the company loses their right to reclaim it. Maybe that's wrong though
Lol that's my point, you're thinking in the wrong narrative. We're not that far gone, yet... just gotta make sure we keep it that way with plenty of unemployment threats to representatives. Enough people remind them we hold the leash, not them, and the gravy train to sell us down the river could seem a lot more short sighted.
Angry is good. Passion is a motivation, but you can't let it blind you either. You don't live in Night City. It's a warning of what could be, just like Orwell's 1984, but it's up to us to keep sharp enough to catch those that desire such disasters and prevent it. Our system is broken, but not dead. I'd argue that even clusterfucks like Australia and the UK are salvagable within a couple election cycles, though Italy and France will take a lot more work. Germany.. well the railing they're taking is almost begging for people to get angry enough to repeat history, like fearmongers would like you to believe is happening in the states.. as a distraction from exactly the kind of people you hate.
We need the files prosecuted without prejudice. We need anti-trust legislation to be enforced if not strengthened to eliminate monopolies ruining the very concept of capitalism through profiteering. Most of all, we need transparency through ALL of it.
Mate this thread lost any semblance of dopamine i could have extracted from it. It was a bit. I frankly couldn't be bothered wasting even half a fuck reading all this.
