Or this tender little morsel from the Wash. Post:

"The silver linings in this economic cloud have been few, seemingly
non-existent. Instead, they've been replaced by news that at times may
seem almost Kafkaesque.

For instance: Software giant Microsoft laid off 1,400 workers last
month. Yesterday, the company acknowledged that -- oops! -- it actually
overpaid severance to some of those workers. The unemployed workers
found this out recently in a letter from Microsoft, which was sitting
on cash reserves of $8.5 billion last month and is demanding repayment
of the extra severance within 14 days. "
