Hard Disagree.

You should scrutinize wage theft.

When you send the email to ask about the error and they send you this clearly incorrect calculation, you are scrutinizing wage theft. Clearly a mistake.

And people wonder how the left gets the reputation of shrieking drama llamas

What?

What does this have to do with left or right? This is just plain and simple wage theft, which should never have occurred in the first place if the business was competent. They're not, apparently, and it makes one wonder what other critical calculations they must be bullshitting.

Even competent businesses are made up of humans who make mistakes. This is a very dumb way to steal wages. Assuming this entire situation is even real, this looks like the HR person isn’t very good at math. Accounting could have catched it, but at the same time many businesses have almost no guardrails or proper procedures for this kind of stuff, especially smaller more traditional ones. Not out of malice, but because resistance to change.

I was agreeing with Plebcouncilman. They did scrutinize. They got a response, they’re idiots. I have to assume they corrected it. If not, by all means, raise hell but how exactly do wages negate Hanlon’s razor?

This would be an exceedingly rare form of wage theft, and would require HR to be much smarter than the average HR

Thats not what Hanlon’s razor is about. Hanlon’s razor just states that people are more likely to be stupid than cruel. You can scrutinize wage theft without immediately jumping to the conclusion that the hr worker is maliciously altering your paycheck for the companies gain.
