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.

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 😂😂

I wonder if you'll get in trouble later during background check?

No but very interested.

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?

Yes. Took bout 1 weeks to start talking and questioning. Another month to be let go.

Dream move

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

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
