musings - way waay OT

Could be as simple as that employee being careless setting their
exemptions. Maybe they get big refunds each April because they overpay
during the year.

Anyone with any intelligence would never do that. Why give the government
an interest free loan.

I know plenty of college educated employees of the university who do
precisely that, as a method of savings. It's just about the dumbest
investment strategy on the planet -- but that doesn't prevent
intelligent people from doing it.

You don't say so, but I assume that this "lesser skilled" employee works
full time. What's broken is clearly a salary structure that does not allow
a working person to support herself and her child above the poverty line.
Meanwhile, CEOs and upper management draw salaries that are almost
unimaginable, and the gap is rapidly growing.

Man, I never realized...I thought I knew you after all these years and
figured you for being a nice guy.
I guess I'll have to look for the whip marks on your employees the
next time I stop by.
