You couldn't just shut up? This is internet addiction, you need attention from strangers so badly you couldn't just shut up about 150k your receiving for doing nothing.
>"This week's pay, like every second paycheck so far, is going entirely toward charity and mutual aid btw."<p>Ah yes, before the thread ends have to make sure people on the internet know I am a GOOD person. But since I am so good and humble I will put it at the end of the thread with a casual "btw".
I‘ll just leave this timeless classic here - "The forgotten Employee"<p><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/forgottenemployee/" rel="nofollow">https://sites.google.com/site/forgottenemployee/</a>
There must be people who have spent an entire career as a forgotten employee.<p>My dream is to find a job where there are no expectations except to be there, leaving me free to program all day. Like car park attendant, or I went to a corner bottle shop the other day and there was a guy there who looked liked he had very little to do most of the day.
I very much doubt it. “Every part of the company forgot I existed except for the payroll server” is a popular urban legend - the experience of being “forgotten by the algorithm” is ubiquitous in modern life, it’s fun to fantasize about that phenomenon giving us a major windfall that offsets all the minor inconveniences it has caused us - but anyone who’s worked in or near the payroll department knows this just doesn’t happen. If you haven’t seen how that particular sausage is made, it might surprise you. Generally speaking, the default state of your salary payment is “denied”, and it has to be actively approved by a manager, supervisor, or some other real person at your company.
I have no idea if this is true or not...but I would like to believe. A company that I worked for briefly many years ago has still been paying for my bus pass this whole time, but that's not quite the same as a full paycheck.
They could have shown a little restraint and probably done a pretty good job of baiting everyone, but they went too far for it to be believable. 3/10
