She had no business getting angry with you.I had something kind of similar. Was working a retail job at the same department store as my Mom one year in college. Went on a Friday I was not working to grab my check and put it into the bank that day. There was a bbq lunch for employees, so I sat down there to eat lunch with my Mom and looked at my check (think I might have been getting a deposit ticket out to prep to take to the bank) and it was 3-4 times the normal amount. Showed my Mom and she agreed something was very wrong and checked her check which was right. So since HR and the assistant store managers were all there, I took my check over and said something seemed very off and it was way too much. They all stared in disbelief and said it was definitely wrong, and they had to take it back (made sense to me), but if I needed money right away they would figure out how much it should have been and then given me like 60% of it right away, but I was ok money wise. So a couple days later I found out I was not the only one with check issues and it was a small group of us that floated among the various departments. The one person (true adult with kids) confronted me for telling our checks were off (I only said mine, the company audit picked up the rest) and said she considered it a nice bonus from the company and felt she was owed that money. Yeah - no, I did the right thing and it would have been caught. I needed to have the option to return on school breaks and did not want to be put on a do not rehire list.
I had a coworker get angry when I turned in a money envelope containing a couple hundred dollars she had accidentally left in a cart. Turned out the company didn’t know the envelope was missing until I turned it in. I was just trying to be nice and do the right thing.
