Amazon walking back raises after internal bug miscalculated compensation

The raises had to be approved though, right? It seems like an excuse to blame software for this. And it seems really off-putting that they wouldn’t just own the error, but instead try to revert it.

There has never been such a thing as a "bank error in your favor", and folks are living in a fantasy land if they think there has been.

"Bank error in your favor", would mean bank screwed previously some money from you and now are returning it... So, not really in your favour...

This is not a "bank error".
