The actions of the Chilean worker made a worldwide impact. The unnamed worker accidentally got 330 times his salary. So how did this happen?
330 times his salary, he disappeared when he was paid!
According to Insider, a worker at frozen food manufacturer CIAL Alimentos resigned after being paid nearly 330 times his salary due to a payroll error, and disappeared into oblivion. Instead of $545, $180,418 was credited to the worker.
REPORTED TO THE MANAGER
He went to the deputy director of the worker distribution center and said that 330 times his salary had been paid. The assistant manager also reported this to the human resources department and, noticing the mistake, asked the worker to go to his bank to initiate the refund of the excess money. The worker promised to go to the bank the next day. After this point, it was thought that the worker would return the overpayment and the issue would be closed. However, it did not.
DID NOT LOOK AT WHATSAPP MESSAGES
The worker did not return the money and ignored calls and WhatsApp messages from CIAL Alimentos for three days. Labor later submitted his resignation in a letter sent through his lawyer. It has been learned that there has been no news from the worker since then.
The company filed a criminal complaint against the worker, but no arrests were made. The former employee is accused of embezzlement of funds in the complaint.
