At Bank of America

Apparently, personnel accidentally added the new salary to the old salary, instead of replacing the old salary with the new one. For example, an Associate saw his base go from $95k to $205k (instead of the $110k it was supposed to); a VP saw his base go from $150k to $350k (instead of the $200k it was supposed to). After ~2hrs of jubilation, bankers got a note from Personnel apologizing for the error, and folks resumed not working.
