you're in such obvious dark moral territory that it should be clear as day what you should do.

karma IS a bitch if you aren't nice to her.

It's a simple case of you undervaluing your worth/severance.
Why do you feel you have to accept what they decide.
Look at it this way...they underpaid you every month you were there and this is the way life evens things out.

Make them fight for it back if they care to try.

I suggest you just inform them of the error. Who knows, maybe they'll let you keep it.

I'm a good guy. Is it ok to lie to keep money that isn't mine?

i would also tell them, and it is prob vacation pay or somshit..

i've had a simular situation happen to me, called em up and it was all good.. no mistakes..

Sometimes when you leave, they have to give you 2 weeks severance pay. But that's usually when you get fired.

lol, you got unused vacation pay and you're too much of a fiend to ask about it.

either you're too crooked to have a real job, or you're too dumb to be a thief.

haha. so this one guy that worked at friday's for like...7 years (it was a temporary job you know)...they pissed him off so he was gonna use up his 2 weeks of vacation and quit...u know...show them so he took his 2 weeks of vacation. and then he showed up and worked

and then i was all "what did you whered you go on vacation?"

and he was like "my mom's house"

cause he lives there
in the basement

BUT HE PARTYS YEAH AND HES SO COOL

oh also. this is actually true.

so glad i don't work there anymore.

if i post one more time i think juggernaut might close this thread

stop me my sides are killing me

i think it's important that you ask other people what you should do since what should be done is not remotely obvious from your description of the scenario

basically, you want a bunch of compete strangers on the internet to help you to feel ok about keeping the money, maybe hoping someone here is a lawyer who knows about the 'paid too much you keep it' loophole in the law

This happened to a friend of mine a few weeks back. From what I found out they can take you to court to get the money back so you may as well just give in. With my friend they asked him to give them a cheque to pay the money back, so what I'd do is tell them you're taking off say £100 for the inconvenience.

That might work in a world where you get paid in monopoly money, or whatever teapot fantasy you live in. " "

Say nothing, let them figure it out - and don't spend it all yet in case they discover their error. If it is an error in the first place, it sounds very much like vacation / severance pay.

oh well, you lose.

they could have fucked you for it anyway, if they overpay you, and it is reasonable that you would realise that it was an error, unless you query it and get told its not an error, they can demand it back.

on a similar note, TSB tried to anally rape me, 100 quid got put in by my Mum, when I checked my statement, there were two payments, same day for 100 quid.
I went in and asked the bank why, they said it was not an error, I asked if I spent it and it turned out to be an error, would I have to pay it back, then told me again that it wasnt an error, and that I wouldnt have to pay it back.
I spent it, it was an error, they asked for it back, phoned up my company to bitch about it and were totally gay. I didnt pay it back, and had to open an account with another bank.fucking cocksuckers
