I think it is stupid that the people who received too much money did not report it. Did they honestly believe that no one would notice the error?

 

Why report it ?  They may not even know they were overpaid, just thought Microsoft had good severance packages. Of course, that's assuming its only a few thousand over, and not tens or hundreds of thousands.

Either way, it's now their money and to give it back to a massive, greedy corporation, is entirely their call.

It doesn't work this way, from a legal perspective, in the US.  A company has the right to require reimbursement within a certain timeframe.  The timeframe can vary depending on various state laws.

And yeah, it stinks that a company would ask for the money from someone just let go (unless the sums are way out of line).
