69-year-old Joaquin Garcia works at a waste treatment plant in Spain.  And a little over six years ago, he became a supervisor.

But he quickly realized that his job didn’t really require him to do much of anything . . . so he stopped showing up.  Straight up just didn’t go to work . . . and kept getting PAID.

And he managed to get away with skipping work but still collecting a paycheck for SIX YEARS.

He was only caught when his 20th anniversary with the company came up and they wanted to celebrate.

He got a $30,000 fine, which was the equivalent of one year’s salary.  That seems like it was TOTALLY worthwhile.
