When you ghost your own job lol
Reminds me of the story that came out several years ago about a software developer who outsourced his own job to China. From what I recall he got away with it for several months at least.
Especially if you bounce around between jobs a lot (not on one year round team) I feel like you could go unnoticed for quite a while.

Omg brilliant

Lol just keep submitting timesheets and make sure you already used all of your PTO - I would love to know how long that would last

Thanks EY OP — but even admin codes may warrant at least fraud charges (and perhaps being remote, wire fraud or more).

I knew someone who was on the bench for a few months, so people kinda forgot about him and he got paid for a whole year before they finally realized that he’s MIA 😂😂

Damn good luck, I hope you are successful in this attempt :p

I think you probably have 1-2 pay checks max

I wonder if you'll get in trouble later during background check?
No but very interested.
Pro
She is. I’m sure they would. With our constant contact these days it’s actually pretty glaring when someone goes MIA
Yes, you contact HR and they will do a wellness check. They even send the police to your home if you don’t respond.
asking for a friend?
Pro
Yes. Took bout 1 weeks to start talking and questioning. Another month to be let go.

I knew of someone at DOJ like this. They asked to telework FT right before there was a policy change only permitting it one day a week and the rumor around the office was the person moved out west. I never met them and the other attorneys hadn't seen them in several years but they were still technically working there lol.
I knew a guy who did that but he was on the bench. He spent 6-7 months on the bench before he quit. Everyone had forgotten about him. Only did we know that he was working for someone else for at least 4 months before he quit.
Back then I thought it was cool to have 4 months double pay but now honestly I don’t see it worth it. Your career is much longer than that and fraud can damage your rep seriously
