Antiwork

I got paid (but wasn’t supposed to)

I took a new executive level job. They suggested i start Jan 1, I wanted to start Dec 1 ( to lock it in as another expired then) but they were reluctant since the office basically would be shut down the last 1/2 of the month. I suggested I would start Dec 1, then take 2 weeks unpaid leave last half of the month. I expected them to a) appreciate my offer, but b) say “aww that’s nice but we want to pay you anyway.” But they agreed I’d be off last 2 weeks with no pay. Guess what, paycheck for the last 2 weeks just hit my direct deposit. Am i obligated to tell them? Is it a test? For context, the company hit 125% of plan for the year, so they aren’t hurting at all.
