http://news.cnet.com/microsoft-wants-refund-from-some-laid-off-workers/?tag=nl.e703I love this part! Mentioned veiled threats which amounted to tax reporting if they didn't return the accidental overpayment. Well duh! It was always taxable! LOL
The story says MS changed it's mind about the matter after the article posted. Unless they accidentally added a "0" to those checks that was probably a pretty good idea, even though the PR damage was already done.
