A news story on a slightly lighter note....

Indian civil servant sacked 'after 24-year sickie'

Well played if he did end up getting paid for it.

The thing that made me laugh was: -

An inquiry was set up in 1992, but formal proceedings to dismiss him were not begun until 2007.

It took a further seven years for the department to reach a decision and dismiss him.

Those people taking the seven years to reach a decision should be asked what took them so long. :p
 
"Last August, a state school in Madhya Pradesh sacked a teacher who had been absent for 23 years of her 24-year career"

I don't understand how such things can happen...
 
The inquiry took 15 years before formal dismissal proceedings were started :D
 
He needs to follow this up with "I told you I was ill." on his gravestone when he does eventually shuffle off the mortal coil.


(Presuming of course he goes with burial over the Indian custom of cremation)
 
This is like the guy that pretended to be in coma for 2 years to avoid the bailliff :D

Tell me about it, tell me about it! I work in public sector too and one of our colleagues has been off for a whole YEAR. She just keeps mailing sick notes to the manager and even the manager doesn't know what's wrong with her. Also, because the sick notes are rolling 1-month every time, it means that we have to rely on bank or agency staff which is costing us a fortune and we have to train each one up as they come and go. Think we're on the 5th bank/agency staff now :(
