    I would politely tell them to bugger off. Suggest that in fact you felt you were worth more and say that if they want to get money back, they should re-employ!

      it appears that Microsoft HR isn’t even bothering to explain how it happened

      I may have a clue.. :rolleyes:

        Notice at the bottom of the scanned letter the phrase "HR Customer Support". Now there's a concept born in the deepest, darkest pits of hell.

        print "http://www.codeproject.com".toURL().text Ain't that Groovy?

          Letter? What letter? I asked my own former employer about my COBRA paperwork last week... they had mailed it to the wrong address. :sigh:

                  Looking at the letter, the blanked out amounts look like they may be quite high, too!

                      First ask yourself why do they invest so much money in Live Maps? :suss: Then think about exotic islands. :cool:
