Komag Forces Workers To Repay Overpaid Severance

from the oops dept

Okay, if you're a struggling technology firm, and you lay off a bunch of people, I think it would be near the top of your list to make sure you didn't overpay their serverance. And then, a few weeks down the road, when you realized that you were idiotic, and had overpaid, would you forced the employees you kicked out into the streets to pay you back? That's what Komag did. It's not that surprising to find out that a lot of the Komag ex-employees are pissed off - and aren't paying back the money.

    I would say 'hard cheese' to Komag. It's your mistake. Next time, make sure everything is alright before you send out the cheques. You'd think they'd be watching all money like hawks becuase they've posted losses for three straight years. Just my 2 cents.
