SPANISH MAN QUITS GOING TO WORK FOR SIX YEARS, IS HONORED BY THE COMPANY FOR LONGEVITY

A Spanish man who was rewarded for his many years with the company was discovered to have been avoiding going in to work for the past six years. Joaquín García stopped going to his job because he claims he had no work to do and felt “bullied” (* Yeah – they actually expected him to DO STUFF). He was employed as an engineer assigned to oversee a wastewater treatment plant in the city of Cadiz. He worked for two departments; each assumed the other was overseeing his duties. It wasn’t until the 69-year-old was due to receive an award for his 20th anniversary with the company that it was discovered he had been a no-show for six years, while still receiving his entire $40,400 (€37,000) salary. After Mr. García was exposed, the company took him to court where he was ordered to pay one year of his annual salary back to the company.
* What’s Spanish for DOGE?
* He still earned five years salary, and they fired him and made him not work. Things turned out pretty sweet for Mr. Garcia.
* They should at least make him go in and clear out his 7 million office emails.
* Wow – how gross is that wastewater treatment plant NOW, huh?
* I quit going to work the day I took over this show. I do it out of love! Boss, if you’re listening, I didn’t just say that.
