Payroll Can Bite Me Part II

Payroll insists they never received the W-4 I sent them a year and a half ago.

Or should I say, they insist that I never sent it.

Uhh, no.. I did send it. Whatever ghosts or crazy phantasms intercepted the envelope between the mail room and their office we will never know, but I am certain I sent it. Absolutely positive.

It pisses me off that they would insinuate that I never filed the form in the first place. Do they think I was just making this up to give them trouble ? Come on. I have better things to do with my time than argue with them.

They said they'd reimburse me the $131 IRS fine if I can prove I sent the form.

So.. I'll just pull some non-existent camera logs out of my a** and show them a video of me placing the W-4 in the envelope ? Riiiiiiiiiight.

This time, I took the W-4 over to their office, personally handed it to my representative.

I wanted to cough on it first. But I restrained myself.

The days of blindly trusting that my company will do the right thing are over. Now, I must follow up and chase and badger and demand until the results I need are achieved. I don't like having to do this. I hate being a demanding biatch. But I am left with no choice. I need to protect my financial assets.

And to top it all off, my apartment is raising my rent again, this time adding $120/month to the already-outrageous price.

Good thing I've already started the process of finding a townhouse to buy.

I can't get out of there fast enough.
