Microsoft apparently just laid off a decent portion of their workforce. As with almost all laid off workers, they were given severance packages.
Now, due to idiotic accounting errors, Microsoft is telling some of these laid off employees that they have to return part of their severance packages. Excuse me? What?
That's SO kind! Here, in a crap economy, you're out of a job, but we'll give you some money. Use it to live on until you can, hopefully, find a new job. Oopsie! Our mistake! You have to give some of it back!
Then, of course, add in that Microsoft can't even figure out their own software? That's quite ironic.
