Staff at Politico did not get paid for the latest pay period. The company just sent several emails to employees saying it believes there was a technical error, and is looking into how to fix the issue.

Dear Team, Goli and I want to address this morning's payroll issue directly. Due to what we believe to be a technical error, employees did not receive their paychecks as scheduled. We understand the urgency of this matter and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Our team is working diligently with our systems vendors and the bank to identify the root cause and implement a solution as quickly as possible. We will keep you updated as we learn more and work to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

Interesting timing.

They’re singing the Wreck of USAID Gravy Train Blues most likely.

The USAID check is late and there is a huge hole in Politico’s budget.

should be interesting to see how many other leftist organizations suddenly have difficulty paying their employees.

Wonder how long until we start reading about senators being forced to sell their mansions.

So funny.

The email ends with “if you have any immediate concerns feel free to contact me.”

Why would anyone have immediate concerns about not getting paid and not being given a reasonable explanation for not getting paid?

This is going to be like a monopoly game that caught on fire and all the monopoly currency burned.

That Boardwalk property just lost all of its value.

Lol.

There is a glitch in the software, somewhere, that is activated only on a specific, or perhaps several conditions are encountered. Seen this many times. Some can be a real pain to find.

“There is a glitch in the software”

Remember to tell your creditors that if your check bounces because there is no money in your account.

Lol.
