Payroll claims they sent me an e-mail on Tuesday (of course I was out of the office on Tuesday and Wednesday on account of getting surgery done). I would not have been able to read it until Thursday. When I came in on Thursday, I had over 700 e-mails I had to catch up on, anyway.
But, it doesn't matter. It's too late, and they just deducted $257 from my paycheck to pay the fuckers at the Franchise Tax Board in California. Now, I'll have to see what ridiculous hoops I'll have to jump through to get my money back from them.
Sons of bitches.
Here's the bitchy e-mail that I sent to the payroll department:
I was out of the office on Tuesday and Wednesday, and came back to over 700 mails in my Inbox, so it looks like this one slipped through the cracks.
I’m most upset that nobody bothered to call me or use means other than e-mail (and snail mail) to contact me regarding this matter. Especially given the suspicious circumstances behind the collections notice; I left the state of California
six months before the period they are requesting collections. This very fact was acknowledged during my discussion with Payroll earlier this morning.
Somebody should have at the
very minimum left me a voice mail regarding this. Given the circumstance, I don’t think that would have been much to ask.
The single fact that nobody made any greater effort to contact me aside from sending an e-mail upsets me even more than the state of California robbing me of $257 and having to deal with whatever it takes to get that money back from them.
I’m very upset at how this was handled.
I mean really, would it have been too hard to leave a voice mail? I can't imagine that there is such a high workload for the payroll department that somebody couldn't have at least done that.
