We all feel happy when our paycheck hits our bank account, right? But it feels so bad when you’re off work and the company starts taking money back because they overpaid you. That happened to me today when I saw money deducted from my account because of an overpayment from last week, and since I’m off right now, there is nothing I get from my company but an adjustment. Ugh. It really ruined my mood 😩

That happened to me once and I was livid. No warning, no heads up, just gone. When I called payroll for an explanation, they acted like it was no big deal. It IS a big deal when you're budgeting to the dollar and suddenly your bank account is short $200. At minimum they should have to notify you before deducting anything. Or better yet, just take the overpayment out of your next paycheck and let you know that's what they'll be doing.

You understood it well. It is a big deal when you are living paycheck to paycheck. When this happens, it just messes your budget and you have to rethink somethings.

I hate when this happens. When I saw that extra money in my account I was feel so good. I knew something was wrong though because I never made that much money. It sucks when you have to send the money back or if they deduct the extra money from your next check.

It feels really weird and sad to be honest. I wish they had not overpaid me last time, it would have been so much easier to deal with this.

Help! I wanted to know your thoughts about accepting a job and forgetting to negotiate salary and 3 months in asking for a raise. Should I just wait or should mention it? I do love my job but because I feel like I’m not getting paid my worth, I have been looking at other positions but do not really want to leave. Help!

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

I got a promotion a year and 3 months ago, and got a pay raise 5 months ago. Could I still ask for a promotion to SAE if I have been supporting a team more as one? Promotions are hard to stab with.
