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?

return it.
that's ridiculous. i'm sure your eye's popped when you saw an extra 50K.
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.
Either you sling crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot
callup dupre
yeah call payroll or HR

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.
