Will this madness never end?

One of our civil servants is missing!

A civil servant who was employed at the Ciaccio hospital in Catanzaro, Italy, has been accused of absenteeism since he started working—or not working—at a new position there in 2005. He hasn't attended work at all for fifteen years.

During that period, he trousered a cool €538,000. For not doing a job so meaningless that it went unnoticed, until now.

Rumours that his absenteeism was detected only after he retired, and failed to turn up to his leaving party, start here!
