I thought this sub get a good chuckle out of a story from old job, where they where so inept that they didn't notice gave myself Raise for over 9 months until they notice and I got told off for it.
So this was over 5 years ago, I had been working for the company for at lease 5 years as Full time Casual and was supervising 2-3 days a week. At the job, the company had different tiers of pay, depending on your experience with the company and that including a three tier system for supervising pay.
So I wanted too know how I could bump myself up too next pay tier, but they never would get back too me email, SMS or even face too face, So I thought push them for a response.
An aspect of the company was that we where STILL doing our own paper time sheets and even writing in our own pay (this company slow as hell).
So what I thought I do too get a reaction, was bump my supervisor pay up too next tier, expecting them too react quickly and have talk with me, where I could get some answers.
For the next 9 months, I got no reaction what so ever and just played along, not questioning anything. Sadly this changed, as FINALLY they where start too move too online timesheets and the Manager notice my pay was bit too high and I got ask on the side too stop doing that.
I still look back and just laugh at this incident, with just how ineptitude this company was at so many things.
