Oh no, I'm so sorry. Yeah, duh, Pete, I didn't
even think about that. Yeah, of course, whenever HR calls,
that's always the first thing that goes to is there's

made a mistake actually with a bonus that you received
six months ago.

Yeah. I remember getting the bonus. What do you mean mistake?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, so you received a five thousand dollars performance bonus. Yeah,
unfortunately we actually have to take that. We actually need
that money back. We weren't supposed to give you five
thousand dollars at all. Wait, wait, what if you don't
have the cash directly, We'll just have to go ahead
(01:21):
and take it out of your next paycheck or paychecks
until we get the five thousand dollars back because we
were not supposed to give you a five thousand dollars bonus.
I'm so sorry our mistake.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'm sorry. I'm probably like a hard time understand. Okay,
So you gave me a bonus, yes, and now six
months later you're saying that I didn't get that bonus,
and now I owe you that money and you're gonna
take it out of.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
My check unless you can just give us the full
lump sum back. We'll have no choice but to do that,
you know, as our mistake. I'm so sorry about that. So, yes,
we need the five thousand dollars back, basically, and.

have it right.

No, honestly, I don't. I have a lot of student
debt and.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I just put it right towards that we can work
it out, you know. But we do need the five
thousand dollars back. So this is just to let you know.
We can figure out all the details, but we're going
to need that bonus back. We weren't supposed to give
you that as a bonus. I'm so sorry.

as a company, we are owning this mistake. I want

our part. We are very sorry about it. Unfortunately, though
tough economic times, we need to get that five thousand
dollars back from you.
