Maybe it was a flaw in Excel

Maybe it was a flaw in Excel (http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/09/serious-flaw-in.html)

Well, well. Back when I criticized Microsoft for laying off workers during the worst economy ever (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2009/01/ballmer-wimps-out-in-first-challenge.html), I noticed a lot of commentators were sympathetic to Microsoft. We'll see how that turns out in the wake of what appears to be a string of severance errors (http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/21/oops-microsoft-asks-some-laid-off-workers-to-send-back-part-of-their-severance/) resulting in underpayments and overpayments for which Microsoft is requesting refunds. Yes, not content with dumping workers in a terrible job market, MS, which earned $4B last quarter, is asking for refunds on botched severance payments. Yes, it is their right to reclaim funds incorrectly dispensed, but again I must wonder how much this can possibly affect their bottom line relative to how much it will affect those workers.
