Just to note, I have no vested interest here as I only received the correct base points and am waiting for the bonus which doubtless will need my time and effort in chasing......
We have different values.
I think when I have something that's not rightfully mine I should use reasonable endeavours to return it What is reasonable is defined by the circumstances (and the value) of the item that I have incorrectly received.
I don't think that you being returned to your correct position is a punishment.
I further struggle with the concept that organisation A has wronged me organisation B will 'suffer' if they make a mistake.
Each to their own I suppose.
