Employer demands $2,700 back from 18-year-old employee after their payroll error: 'I’m just so irritated'

Sometimes people don't like to admit that they've made a mistake. They bury their head in the sand and pretend like nothing went wrong. This is not a great way to deal with failure. The truth is bound to come out at one point or another, and it's better to own up to it. But this is much easier said than done. It can feel impossible to admit when you've made an error. You just wish you could go back in time and undo it, but there is no undo button. There is only forward, and that's how we learn. But the employer in this story had an interesting way of going about addressing their mistake. They wanted other people to be held accountable for it.
