Sounds like this guy is the boss in your example.

Too much to read.

Honestly, it really depends on the relationship(s) you have with management and coworkers. I hate my current position at my company, but don't hate the company. So it would be tough for me to sleep at night knowing my coworkers were wasting their time doing base work i automated. I'd capitalize on it. I would get a few months out of it, enjoying my brilliance and skill, then pitch the automation idea, pretend i'm building and testing it, then release it at the peak opportunity for a promotion. 2 birds....best of both worlds.

It is unethical for several reasons the most obvious of which is the dishonesty on his part.

This. Who cares how it gets done?

Guy does spreadsheets for work, creates a program that would take a normal worker weeks to complete, but his programs does it in 10 mins. He purposely puts bugs in it to make the person who checks his work believe its real (fake human error). Gets paid 40 hrs a week for 2 hrs of work

All the power to you but is it worth the risk of losing a good paying job that gives you that much free time and with your son. I'm single so I'd say frick it!

If I finish an initiative at work early, I don't get to take the next 3 months off. I get to start working on the next one and then the next one and then the next one till I stop doing that job. It's like thatbwith pretty much every job in the department ineork for. It never stops and if you get through it quicker, they'll just pile more on top of you.
Your job is to work and you are paid to work. If you have freed up your schedule by ingenuity, your company should be giving you more work to compensate.

The company is paying him to do a job. He is doing said job. Whether that takes him 3 hours or 3 weeks, I don't see the problem. He's delivering the product they want within the timeframe they want.
ETA: IMO it would be unethical if the company asked him to take on more and he said that he didn't have any time to do more. But under his current circumstances, I don't see a problem.

OK to automate/time-save repetitive tasks, not-OK to use at least some -- if not most -- of that now-free time to invent new stuff that benefits employer.
OTOH, if the employer doesn't like the new stuff, then f- 'em, sell it to the highest-bidder competitor.
