Welcome to R-Slash, a podcast where I read the best posts from across Reddit.

Today's subreddit is R-Slash FU-Karen, where a manager gets upset at her employee because

her employee has to get paid for the work that she did.

The title of this post is, my employee wasn't respectful enough after the company messed up her

paycheck. I'm not comfortable with one of my new staff members and how overconfident she is.

Her work is great and she needs very little training, but she's got very big bridges.

Jane has only been with us for two months. Just today, she asked for a meeting with me and our

payroll manager. It turns out that payroll made an error entering her direct deposit information

that resulted in Jane not getting paid, not once, but two times. Our company requires potential

candidates to complete sample assignments during the interview process and we pay them an hourly

contractor rate. It turns out that Jane didn't get paid for her assignment period or for her

next full pay cycle. The payroll employee apologized directly to Jane in an email because it was

their error in entering her information and not following up or fixing it that resulted in Jane

not getting paid. Jane was able to show emails back and forth where she checked in with the

payroll employee and asked if it was fixed and they confirmed that it was. Today was paid a

and Jane didn't get paid. Jane checked with the payroll employee again and they acknowledged

that they thought that it was fixed. It's upsetting for Jane, I understand, but I think that she

was out of line about the whole thing. People make mistakes. Neither payroll nor I knew anything

about it until today. We both apologized and assured her the issue would be handled.

After that, she looked at me and the payroll manager and said, I appreciate your apology,

but I need you both to understand that this can't happen again. This has put me under financial

strain and I can't continue to work for this company if it isn't corrected today.
