Or somebody with ethics.
Ken
Then I must be an idiot.
Mistakes happen. Are you saying the ones who were underpaid (and who are
asking for an adjustment) are also idiots?

What's unethical? You can't change your mind after you give a severance package.

morals and of the specific moral choices to be made by a person; moral
philosophy.

If a company sends you a cheque by mistake then you are not entitled to the
money. Just as if you found a large sum of money in the street - it isn't
yours. How many times have you read about people who've had money
accidentally deposited to their accounts who went and spent it believing
they had a right to something that wasn't there. The law is pretty clear.
The morality is even clearer.

Well however they determined that some were underpaid, and if they

more money. Those that got overpaid, no one has said by how much, which
would be interesting to know. And second, they cashed the check and

I'm not an attorney but I work with a company where employees have been
over paid. There are contracts defining everything including severance
and in my experience the mutually agreed upon contract prevails.
