Title: Re: LMAO! Irpwn3y. Post by: MFAWG on February 23, 2009, 12:34:42 PM what are they gonna do fire them? Yup. 'Laid Off' is not the same as 'Fired' or 'Reduction in forced'. Title: Re: LMAO! Irpwn3y. Post by: hobbit on February 23, 2009, 12:39:38 PM LOL - isn't this one of those things that they should have just kept their mouths shut about and swallowed? How much did they pay out that it was worth the embarassment of this to get bacK?

Post by: birdymaker on February 23, 2009, 12:46:00 PM what are they gonna do fire them? Yup. 'Laid Off' is not the same as 'Fired' or 'Reduction in forced'. if you got severance pay, you ARE fired. thats why they call it severance. ;D Title: Re: LMAO! Irpwn3y.

Title: Re: LMAO! Irpwn3y. Post by: Walfredo on February 23, 2009, 02:37:03 PM Kind of like a bank that accidently dumps money into your account by a software glitch, they can get it back I assume. My current company made a mistake on one of my annual bonuses. I notified HR because they would have caught it eventually and asked for it back.
They signed a contract for X amount, and not X+whatever the glitch was. They are responsible for giving it back I'm sure. Title: Re: LMAO! Irpwn3y. Post by: Uisce Beatha on February 23, 2009, 06:04:22 PM AZu11CzQSsw
