Answer 4

be honest and give it back, or tell him about it  

Answer 5

Be honest, as the mistake will soon be discovered, and it will look better for you to have been honest.  You most likely would have to repay the money that was mistakenly given to you any way, so make yourself look good and tell him of the error.

Answer 6

Speak up they will probably notice it even if you don't say anything. Its better to be the good guy.

Answer 7

This is a test.  It is only a test of the "can the boss trust you" system.  If it were a true emergency, your check would have been $800 short.  Definitely give it back.

Answer 8

bring it to your Bose's attention.It is always better to be honest and he/she will appreciate the honesty and in the long run you will feel better about yourself.

Answer 9

You say 'Sir, your computer gave me $300'

Answer 10

It could be a test as to how much he can trust you.  I would definetly give it back.  Better to lose it now than lose it and your job later when they discover the error.

Answer 11

always tell the truth always do what is right.

this way nothing can come back on you and a lot of times people will reward you for it.

now i don't always do what is right i make mistakes but pick and choose you battles.

in the end the idea is to clear your mind and your conscience, just as you would clear your work bench or your desk.

look up galatians chapter 5 more specifically versus 13-26

you can't take it with you when you die!

Answer 12

Do you really believe it was a mistake ? bd

Answer 13

Tell your boss of the error so he can correct it.  It is the honest thing to do.
