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.

People are well aware of their severance packages.  In fact, you meet with someone from HR to discuss them in detail, neogtiate, etc.  If you are ever surprised by your paycheck, say something.  It WILL be noticed.
