I went on line to check my pay was in my bank account.To my amazement
I discovered that not only had I been paid,a company I'd never worked
for had also beside myself if my own salary was not in my account,so I
tried to get the money back to the right peerson.Easier said than done.
The bank couldn't help as it "wasn't a bank problem."The human-resource department at the company that paid me was unable to help as I didn'have enough details .I rang the bank again.Thankfully I had a sympathetic call operator who gave me a name,so I again rang the company "Daniel"worked for.
I expected the bank would contack me to arrange to take the money from my account and reply Daniel.I hearf nothing for a month and the
money remained in my account when Daniel called,explaining he'd tried to get back his money but had been uncussessful as neither the bank nor his company felt it was their error.He had rung to ask if I could speak to the bank,but after chatting for a few minutes we realized we could probably fix this problem ourselves.
We decided I would take the money from my account and he would pick it up from me.Due to my busy job I was unable to meet Daniel personally but he left me a lovely bottle of wine in exchange for what was rightfully his.I never had any intention of keeping Daniel's pay but red tape(red tape意味“繁琐手续”) made it difficult to do the right thing.It all came down to two people being able to do what a huge bank made a large company couldn't do--admit a mistake has occurred and fix it.
