They made a mistake. Are you not allowing them to put it right? If you'd
made a mistake would you expect the 'victim' to be obdurate?
If a bank paid you someone else's money would you expect to keep it?
Mind you, if this mistake causes you serious financial problems I would hope
the employers would at least lean in your direction.
