My employer has erroneously been withholding for both employee only and family health benefits for like the past 15 months. So, I just got a check for $7500 and my paychecks will increase by like $200.   :Woot:

I want to go out and get something like a 1984 Porsche, but probably won't.

Congrats on being a big enough dumbass not to notice that!

My previous employer erroneously withheld double on my health insurance one time so I went apeshit on them and immediately began applying for new jobs. Not only did I get the money back within a week but also got a new job and bailed on those dumbasses during the busiest time of the year.i

Sounds like you're the dumbass.  You should have pretended not to notice for a year or so and then hit the jackpot like chum1.

The woman who made the mistake was apologizing profusely, but all I could think was, "I'm getting a check for $7500! SOOOOOO AWWWWESOME!" How can you even be pissed off when you get news like that?

How does that work with pre and post tax deductions for insurance? Do you have to pay taxes on that money?

No idea. I assume my employer will handle all of that appropriately.

Just saying it would shitty if it went from being untaxed to taxed income.

Well nevermind it should have been taxed to start with. So make sure you aren't looking at paying those taxes in the future
 Or whatever.

They clearly knew what they were doing to begin with, why worry now?

so had a phone call out of the blue yesterday and now I need to update my resume for the first time in 13 years.      I think things are a little different on the resume front since 2003 (and really 1999) since this current job was in the bag and it was just a formality.       Are bulletpoint achievements still the preferred or whats the current stylistic preference?

just pay someone to do it, there are a lot of formats you can use.  a professional would know best.

not sure I want the hassle of that.   It's a simple resume, 2 jobs in 17 years.    And my friend runs the company, so it's really more for their parent company's sake.

Hire @Michigancat to do it. Also, let me look at it too if you have some free time.

What I've seen recently are pop-up resumes.  Basically resumes folded in such a way that when opened whimsical pictures of your achievements pop up off the page at your potential employer.

How the glitter is used is more important to me than the pop-up but I can only speak for myself on that
