A worker in Chile submitted his resignation and could not be found after his job accidentally paid him about 330 times his salary because of a payroll error, according to reports.
The worker, a dispatch assistant at cold meats manufacturer Consorcio Industrial de Alimentos, received a paycheck of 165,398,851 Chilean pesos, or $180,418, for the month of May. He was only supposed to be paid about 500,000 Chilean pesos.
He agreed to go to the bank the next day, but kept the money and ignored communications from his employer over the next few days.
The man then offered his resignation through a letter sent to the company by his attorney.

Still a thief. An attorney will not fix that...or should not be able to fix it.
‘Adios Amigo!’

Ha!
I am shocked that he bothered to resign lol.
Payroll manager better get his resume up to date.
I was a 16-year-old bagging groceries at the supermarket and one week my paycheck was 10x the expected amount. Obviously a mistake.
I didn't even try cashing that check. I just turned it in and got a check for the correct amount.
A related joke.
A Scotsman by the name of Angus opens his pay envelope, and finds that he was overpaid by five pounds. He says nothing, and pockets the money.
A week later Angus opens up his next pay envelope, and finds that it’s short by five pounds. He angrily confronts the paymaster about this. “Well Angus,” says the paymaster, “you weren’t in here complaining last week when we overpaid you.”
“I can overlook one mistake,” Angus says. “But not two.”
I’d imagine 180 grand goes pretty far in Chile
In the USA yes, but it depends on the law in Chile. Are you an expert on Chilean law?
Anyone seen Richard Pryor?.. oh..

Did anyone check the Texas border?
Hilarious joke. Thanks. I hope I can remember that one.
In the mid 60s, I was a lowly G.I. so you may imagine how much my pay was. I still made enough to file taxes and one year I got $27.00 refund. The next day I got another $27.00 refund check. Yep, I cashed both of those beauties and kept going to the mail room to see if I got any more. I didn’t.

No. Are you?
I believe the Texas interpretation of Chile law is not to put beans in it.
Chile is beans. Con carne is “with meat”
