Payroll mistake

just started a new job and they accidentally gave me $50K extra in my first paycheck - not a joke.

What would you do?

Quit

Quit your job and retire. Move to Manila and live like a king!

Kidding of course. They'll find it, just call HR and tell them.

..keep it

if they bring it up, just say that u didn't look at your account or something since you were busy with work or other stuff..

i knew an analyst i worked with who had received two direct deposits for her year end bonus. she kept them both.

..we should all be so lucky, besides there might be a chance you get laid off soon enough..so screw 'em.

I called the payroll dept and they said I can keep it for being so honest! Not!!

They thanked me for notifying them and will be debiting my checking account shortly.
