I currently have an employee who is FREAKING OUT because she was overpaid by 3 hours on the last paycheque, and therefore will be underpaid by 3 hours this coming paycheque (so that, at the end of the month, the total equals the correct amount, in short).
"But this means my car insurance won't go through!!!"
Like. Kid. You've already gotten the money. The money for your car insurance is literally sitting in your bank account, unless you went on a spending spree (waaaaaaitaminute, I see the problem). The money is actually yours, and you have it, what the hell.
And this is someone who is fairly paid for their level of experience and education, making over 40K in a LCOL area. No mortgage, no kids, no student loans, and I know her parents, they're doing ok and she's not subsidizing family.
????? I do not understand.
