Any experience with being “overpaid” and having to pay the company back? I’ve heard many people over the years having to pay back supposed owed money due to either being paid more because of some pay reconciliation or after having EDB, then between Sunlife and payroll there being a discrepancy. Is this another instance where the law doesn’t apply to this organization? Can they ask and expect money overpaid to be repaid, or is this dependent on how long ago it was discovered?

Anyone from last years LRs still job hunting?
I am. Sent out a lot of applications, then started getting smarter and more targeted. Getting more interviews, but then when the third one comes, it goes well, then ghost town. Tried leveraging contacts, but some were lying or leading me on when I wished they had said they couldn't (or didn't) want to help. With friends like these, am I right?
Still somehow, through it all, hopeful, we sent Gen X astronauts the furthest anyone has gone (well done, Artemis); then anything is possible.
Anyone else having difficulty landing even something part-time to bring in cash? Maybe it's the overqualified part. One food chain I went to said they had over 300 applications for that one store alone. I don't know how many of them are "overqualified", but that sounds like way more than they usually expect...
Hope you all are well and finding your way.
Job market is a nightmare
So many people are going for same job. Some jobs I’m overqualified and recruiters think I’m not going to stick around. It’s rough out there!
The Paradox
Funny thing about this place, the better you get at your job, the more skillfully a guy applies himself, the faster you’re working yourself out of one. Efficiency isn’t rewarded here it’s punished. Automate too much, improve too much, use AI tools to work less hours and they’ll thank you with a pink slip.
Any company that counts how many days you sit in the office or how long your mouse wiggles isn’t looking for smart people, it’s looking for obedient ones. If you’re content to coast like a DMV clerk, you’ll fit right in. But if you’ve got a brain in your head, get out and put it to work somewhere that actually makes the world better. This place treats intelligence as if were a crime against mediocrity.
