Not at the same level but I recently had to fight for 4 months to get my office location corrected after it was incorrectly recorded. I work in a company office in Seattle but was reporting to a boss in London. I changed jobs within the company and started to report to a boss in Chicago. What I hadn’t realized was that someone marked me as working in the Chicago office. Sounds like no big deal but then they started witholding state income taxes for Illinois out of my paycheck. My actual home office in Seattle is in a state with zero state taxes so it made a big difference. It took a month to realize that it had happened, then it took another month to get someone who could change me back to the correct state. Of course they were saying that I would need to wait until next year to file taxes and request that Illinois payback the witholdings. I managed to find some Illinois state tax regulations explaining a process to clawback overpaid taxes and sent that to our payroll team. Finally, after around 4 months, they issued me a check for $3,000.00 for the overpaid taxes. That was a surprisingly complex process even though this is a fairly modern tech company. Can’t imagine what a more traditional company would have been like. It also taught me to keep a closer eye on that automatically paid paycheck to watch for anything odd.
