0:29
you about a situation
0:32
that we just were informed
0:34
of.
0:35
And like another coworker
0:37
like complained about.
0:38
Oh no, I'm so sorry. Yeah,
0:42
duh, Pete, I didn't even
0:44
think about that. Yeah, of course, whenever HR calls,
0:46
that's always the first thing that goes to is there's nothing
0:48
with another employee. It's just that we noticed
0:50
we made a mistake actually with
0:52
a bonus that you received six
0:54
months ago.
0:57
Yeah. I remember getting the bonus. What do
0:59
you mean mistake?
1:01
Yeah, so you received a five thousand
1:03
dollars performance bonus.
1:07
Yeah, unfortunately we
1:09
actually have to take that. We actually need that money back.
1:11
We weren't supposed to give you five thousand dollars at all. Wait,
1:17
wait, what if you don't
1:19
have the cash directly, We'll just have
1:21
to go ahead and take it out of your next paycheck
1:23
or paychecks until we get the five thousand
1:26
dollars back because we were not supposed to give you a five thousand
1:28
dollars bonus. I'm so sorry our mistake.
1:32
I'm sorry. I'm probably like a hard time understand. Okay,
1:35
So you gave me a bonus, yes,
1:37
and now six months later you're
1:40
saying that I didn't get that
1:42
bonus, and now I owe you
1:44
that money and you're gonna take it out
1:47
of.
1:47
My check unless you can just give us
1:49
the full lump sum back. We'll have no choice
1:51
but to do that, you know, as our mistake. I'm so sorry
1:53
about that. So, yes, we need the five thousand
1:55
dollars back, basically, and.
1:57
It hit six months
1:59
for you.
2:00
Things move kind of slow, but I'm sure
2:03
you still have it right.
2:04
No, honestly, I don't. I
2:06
have a lot of student debt and.
2:08
I just put it right towards that we can work
2:10
it out, you know. But we do need the five thousand
2:12
dollars back. So this is just to let you know. We can figure
2:15
out all the details, but we're going to need that bonus
2:17
back. We weren't supposed to give you that as a bonus. I'm
2:19
so sorry.
2:21
I'm sorry. I'm just having a really hard
2:23
time understand, like I get a bonus
2:25
every year. I'm one of the top sales.

Performers, still get a bonus, a performance
2:29
bonus. It's just as a company,
2:32
we are owning this mistake. I want to let you
2:34
know that it was a miscalculation on our
2:36
part. We are very sorry about it. Unfortunately,
2:38
though tough economic times, we need to get that
2:40
five thousand dollars back from you.
2:42
I don't think that what you're doing is even legal. I
2:44
really don't feel comfortable with this conversation. You still haven't
2:46
even told me what my actual bonus
2:49
was supposed to be and what the difference is.
2:51
