Man Skipped Work For 6 Years And No One Noticed Until He Won An Award (Spain)
The Huffington Post ^ | February 15, 2016 | Nina Golgowski

For six years, a building supervisor in Spain quietly collected a $41,500 salary from his local government without showing up for work.

And he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for him getting an award for his 20 years of loyal service.

Joaquin Garcia, 69, was recently fined $30,000 for the extended paid vacation from a water treatment plant in Cadiz -- the maximum penalty government officials could deliver, the BBC reported.

A good example of “big government” in action. I wonder how much of this goes on in general. It’s also the reason why governments are never part of the solution. They’re too slow to move, even if people are working they’re too difficult to organize.

Consider people like this and then think FEMA.

A prof in b-school told a story that a new hire was told to up to the roof, and watch for enemy planes (during WWII).

He did, and didn't stop he daily duty until retirement, decades later.

My guess is that it was at a unionized GE factory.

To be honest, thats a lot less golf than I thought. It looks like less than once per week, on average.

If golf is a mans chance to get away, recharge and get some time outside, once a week is hardly unreasonable.

Of course, I have no doubt that golf was not this presidents only time not doing his job. However, this golf by itself seems fineMalcolm Saxon.

A fella can loathe our Manchurian Muslim and still be reasonable.
