he just didnt show up for work and no one knew what happened to him. attempts to reach him always went straight to voicemail. they were still obligated to send out his work checks.

eventually 8 months later, his sister reached out and the guy had gotten into a serious injury or a serious disease or something and was totally incapacitated. sister requested his employment be terminated and that was the only reason he stopped getting paid. they told me that if his sister requested, he could've received medical pay as well.

but the guy got $80,000 free from not showing up to work and it could have been more if his sister didnt call.

it took 3 years to go through the process to remove him from employment and hire a new worker to replace him

I would have thought it wouldn't be possible to get away with such things at a workplace where the employees wear blazers.

Nowhere is just going to keep paying someone for several months with no contact whatsoever.

that's what makes it possible. the process to get rid of someone is so intricate and complex at this level. without knowing the reason he was gone, the paperwork simply could not be filed. IE, if he had died you cant terminate him. but they had no idea what happened to him.

Even salaried this would not go on. This is just plain stupid. "I quit" somehow takes 3 years.

You're telling me employees can't be fired if they aren't physically present? Is that some weird-ass law or some awful workplace policy?

its government work is the reason why. there's less than 1% of the workforce that gets fired a year...it's nearly impossible to fire a government worker in my field.

there's a 1 year probation at the start, so you have to at least show up and do your job well for the first year. after that, you are made. but i think the process to fire someone for no show is automatic after 1 year. of course, they can track you down, go to your house, file a missing persons, etc. you can avoid getting fired as long as you can do all that. this guy was just in a coma or something in the hospital so no one could find him.

his sister quit for him. it took the 8 months, then lets say 6 more months to file the paper work to terminate him. then they had to get the position relisted, wait for applicants, interview and do the hiring process which all took another 1.5 years

Yeah. They keep getting paid, too. Except they make a lot more than $10k a month. As a matter of fact, they keep getting paid even when the people under their supervision aren't being paid.

The job is called Congressmen of the United States.
