Manager: “I need you to return the $4,200 that was deposited into your account last Friday.” Employee: “Return what? That’s my salary.” Manager: “Payroll made a mistake. You were paid twice.” Employee: “I checked my payslip. The amount is correct.” Manager: “The second payment wasn’t supposed to go to you. We need it back today.” Employee: “Can you show me the records?” Manager: “Why are you making this difficult? It’s company money.” She had worked at the company for three years and had never had a salary issue. She opened her banking app and checked the transaction history. There was only one salary payment. Employee: “I only received one payment. Can you send me proof of the second one?” Manager: “I don’t have time to go through all that. Just transfer the money.” Employee: “I’m not transferring money I never received.” The manager ended the conversation. An hour later, she received an email from HR asking her to explain why she had refused to return the alleged overpayment. She was confused, but she replied with her payslip and bank statement. The next morning, HR invited her to a meeting. HR Representative: “We reviewed your account. You were right. But there’s something else we discovered.” Employee: “What is it?” HR Representative: “Your manager has been reporting salary payments that several employees never actually received.”
