Didn't work even a day for 15 years: a hospital employee in Italy set a record for truancy
An employee of the fire department of a hospital in Italy did not go to work for 15 years. Thus, the man set a record for truancy, reports Corriere della Sera .
In a hospital in the city of Catanzaro in the Calabria region, the country's financial guard has identified many cases of fictitious employment. One employee has been listed as an employee of the fire safety department since 2005. At the same time, he never appeared at the workplace.
The 67-year-old man thus became the record holder for truancy. In addition, during these 15 years of fictitious activities, he earned 500 thousand euros (about 45.7 million rubles).
In order to prevent the truant from receiving disciplinary sanctions, pressure was exerted on the heads of the department. This became clear during the investigation. For example, it became known that in 2005 a “very outstanding person” threatened the head of the department with problems for him and his family if he set in motion the case of a fictitious employee.
Earlier it was reported about a resident of Taipei, Taiwan, who found an unusual way to extend paid vacation. The man managed to marry four times and divorce three times in 37 days. Moreover, each time he divorced and married the same woman. According to local laws, the employee is entitled to paid leave for eight days on the occasion of the marriage. Thus, a clever trick helped the resourceful Taiwanese get 32 days off.
