Ethical dilamma:They double deposited my paycheck

[underpants]

Everyone in the organizations actually. The payroll company is going to take it back out sometime today.

So....should I go to the bank right now and empty my account and close it?

1. Only if you look good in an orange jumpsuit

:hi:

[underpants]

4. Like this?

UT fans love their orange. They can go to the game on Saturday, hunt on Sunday, and go back to work picking up trash on the roadside on Monday all in the same outfit.

[GOPisEvil]

8. *snarf*

Is that Lee Greenwood next to Coach Phil there?

9. God bless the U of T

Yes it is.

12. sing along you orange clad Vols!

Rocky Top


I wish that I was on old Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
Half bear the other half cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that

Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good old Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee Rocky Top Tennessee

Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
Looking for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
Reckon they never will

Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar

I've had years of cramped up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life
Can't be simple again


i used to teach there.

29. Aarrgghhh!

I'm not sure which is worse, Phil Fulmer in chain gang orange or Lee Greenwood in a flag shirt.

30. No oe mentioned that I misspelled dilemma

Must be a lot of UT grads here.

BTW-a the yearly drubbing of the Vanderbuilt Commodores when the UT crowds gets rowdy the Vandies start chanting "WE'RE GONNA BE YOUR BOSS! WE'RE GONNA BE YOUR BOSS! "

[E_Zapata]

2. and never get another paycheck from them again?

do the math..........

[underpants]

5. Oh yeah there's that too...

Let's see carry the 1.........

[Bunny]

3. No.

Maintain your integrity.

[underpants]

6. Integrity? How long have you been on the DU?

:bounce: you should know better than that by now :evilgrin:

[Bunny]

10. I've been here so long, I remember

when you had undies floating along at the bottom of your posts! Your undies and matcom's ass are so distinctive... :)

[T Wolf]

7. Please do not start acting like a republican.

Only by behaving with honor can you achieve Stovol Kor.

Kerplach!

[Nikia]

11. No

Not only is it unethical, but as the other poster said you'll never get another paycheck from them again. It is only an additional pay periods worth of pay. Even if they didn't press charges or bill you and destroy your credit if you didn't pay, they'd definitely fire you. That is why you should always resist the urge to take advantage of your workplace's payroll department's incompetentness. Not only is it unethical, but you will eventually have to pay for it.

13. No dilema at all...

Wait 'till they REALLY screw up. If the $$$ are big enough to make it to Costa Rica DON'T LOOK BACK!!!

:-)

[underpants]

14. I'm going to the Fla. Keys next week

One could probably "disappear" there.

[northzax]

18. dude, bad idea jeans

costa rica has an extradition treaty with the US. go to Brasil, much safer.

[sexybomber]

20. They do?

I find that hard to believe that Costa Rica would have an extradition treaty with us but not Brazil...

*googles briefly*

Actually, you're not safe in either country.

I think basically the only place you'd be safe is China.

[chiburb]

22. China? Cool!

When the stolen money runs out, at least Undie can find a job!

15. What these people say make sense

you would lose your job, you might go to jail (doubtful), and your life would certainly change - for the worst.

However, you could have a hell of a party - head to Mexico for the weekend. Reminds me of a Steve Earle song... kind of...

The Week Of Living Dangerously
(Steve Earle)
I got out of work and I headed for the neighborhood beer joint
I sat around and had a beer with the boys like I always do
Well I didn't have nothin' to say anyway there ain't no point
There's just something 'bout a Monday that always makes me blue
Well it was well after dark so I knew my wife and kids were waitin'
And I guess I took a left where I generally take a right
Well I filled her up with gas, checked the oil at the Texaco station
I threw the car seat in the dumpster and headed off into the night

Woo-ohh-ooh-ooh-ooh
There's somethin' 'bout a Monday that always makes me blue

Well I headed south on 35 hell bent for vinyl
I hadn't never had her up past 55 before
Well somethin' 'bout that little red line always looked so final
Buddy you'd be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck can go

* Now, down in Mexico they've got a little place called Boystown
Where a man's still a man if you know what I'm talkin' about
Well, I walked into the Cadillac bar and I laid my cash down
I said "there's plenty more where that came from" and the lights went out

* (this verse is not included on the official lyrics sheet, but is included on the recording)

Well I woke up in a county jail 'cross the line in Laredo
With a headache and a deputy staring at me through the door
Well he said "Now how you got across that river alive, I don't know
But your wife just made your bail so now you're really dead for sure"

Now my wife, she called my boss and cried so I got my job back
And the boys down at the plant, they whisper and stare at me
Yea well my wife can find a lot of little jobs to keep me on the right track
Well, but that's a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously

Yeah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-wee
That's a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously

16. I just filled out my United Way donation

1/2 to a homeless shelter and 1/2 to planned parenthood.

[Wickerman]

19. They couldn't fire you for that!

Well, you are in Texas and with planned parenthood, they might throw the book at you!

[Booberdawg]

17. Depends

How much is your integrity worth?

[bleedingheart]

21. no bad idea

[zbdent]

23. Take it from another moral dilemmateer - notify them and have it corrected

I had a similar situation where I got a bonus for being a long-term employee - Y dollars one-time bonus for being there X years. Trouble was, I was there X-1 years.

When I informed personnel of their error, I was told that this was a one-time, only valid for already-employed-X-years employees. I said, "Oh, well. That's the price I pay for being honest."

Found out shortly that this was not true, that it was for all employees who attained X years when they attain X years.

I also went and informed personnel of that. They stood correctd.

Was funky trying to figure out my paycheck for the next 3 pay periods, where:

1. The correcting paycheck had the amount deducted
2. The next pay check reflected a raise
3. The last paycheck was finally at the new rate, with the correct payment.

And, when I did attain X years, I did get my bonus.

[underpants]

24. Oh they already know they told me about it

I wasn't ever really going to try to keep the money.

[oneighty]

25. Hmmm

I was once presented with my pay check that was about six hundred dollars too much. With great reluctance I gave it back. Worst part- I had to wait a week for my regular pay.
180

[DrGonzoLives]

26. No, then you'll be overdrawn

Nothing you can really do about it, which sucks, because I'm sure your company would be able to find many ways to screw you over.

[bif]

27. Just like Kenny-boy would do?

Never!

[Beaker]

28. money and ethics don't mix
