My old job kept paying me for months after I quit and I never said a word I quit my retail job a few years back. I put in my two weeks, said my goodbyes, and thought I was done. A couple weeks later I check my account, and there's a paycheck sitting there like I was still working. At first I figured maybe it was for leftover hours or something. But then another check hit. And another. This went on for like 4 months straight. I'd be sitting at home watching Netflix, and boom. Direct deposit like l'd just worked two full 40 hour weeks. I kept expecting HR to call me or send a letter, but... nothing. I didn't go crazy spending it because I was paranoid they'd want it back, but I definitely used it for rent and groceries. Then one day the money just stopped showing up, and I never heard a word. It's been years now, and I still wonder if they ever realized or if some payroll system just kept me on autopilot until someone noticed. See more
