I just realized my company paid me 48hr worth of x2 holiday pay instead of a 1 dollar/hr bonus. What should i do?

Hey, so It's pretty simple, I just realized i was paid double my usual pay this paycheck from an error in placing 48hr of 1 dollar bonus into the holiday bonus instead, which pays x2. On one hand i have already spent some of that extra money, i get direct deposit and in all honesty i just saw i had some extra cash without thinking twice about it and spent some of it, then realized once i checked the details what happened, on the other hand this company has been quite good to me, a bit tough but has been patient through some issues i was having, and accommodating as well. Im not sure if i should bring it up and risk them finding out on their own, or tell them and get some trust points.

Working your way up a company

Is there an example of someone working in the same company and starting as an intern and then becoming that company’s CEO or other executive position . Trying to prove to a friend that you can’t work your way up a company no matter what you want to believe

Considering most companies are shitty and would fuck you in a heartbeat, how shitty do you feel for taking a job, starting, get trained just to hold out for another position that’s taking a while to get back to you?

Context: got an offer letter for a decent sys admin job but pay is meh and pretty sure they won’t accept my counter offer. (If they do I will accept and start). There is another position I am waiting on that I have everything done except the manager interview who decides if I come on or not and it pays really well and I’m confident I’m one of the best if not only qualified person for the job. Would it be a dick move of me to take the first job while I wait for the other one? This is all considering if they accept my counter offer. They did ignore my original request and offered me $4000 less so I’m not sure whether or not this is something I should take into consideration.

1.5% increase for ‘Exceeds Expectations’ review

Received my $0.39 wage increase today, like the title states, 1.5% when over half my performance review ratings were exceeds expectations. I'm happy I received an increase, but tough to stomach when the VPs and CEO earn well over 6 figures, and receive 4%+ for an increase. Thanks for listening to my rant.

If you’re going to leave a Google review…

ALWAYS add relevant text to reviews. I’ve noticed time and time again, that when a crappy business goes viral and the reviews inevitably start pouring in, the ones that get removed are the no-text one star reviews. A certain shop blew up last night due to an Indeed review response, and I watched its rating go from 4.5 to 1.9 to 3.2 stars. You know which reviews are still up? Exactly.
