re: Have anyone been or known someone who has been a forgotten employee?

I wouldn’t think so if only because no one apparently did due diligence on their payroll to see that everyone existed and did a specific job.

Granted, this is an unusual case. Typically this happens to government or union employees who can’t be fired. They have all their job duties and assignments taken away and are expected to report to a “rubber room” for their shifts to sit therthe doing nothing and collecting a paycheck.


The intent is to make people quit on their own and/or keep people too dangerous to work out of the way.

For instance, a teacher who wins a firing case claiming molestation will be reinstated but won’t be allowed back into a classroom, so they pay them to sit around jerking off and playing Candy Crush until they quit, die, or retire.
