In order not to have to deal with exhausting customer inquiries, a Swedish tax officer picked up the phone himself.
Now he is threatened with dismissal.
A 28-year-old Swede wanted to avoid work and used a supposed trick. As
Spiegel Online
reports, citing the AFP news agency, the 28-year-old called himself instead of taking calls from customers. That emerges from a disciplinary report from the Swedish tax authorities. In total, the man is said to have called himself 55 hours from his own mobile phone at work.
Between March 10th and May 5th.
In 2021, the line of the Swedish tax officer was permanently occupied - and that was apparently no coincidence.
"Some of these calls lasted for several hours," said
Spiegel Online
in the report.
In total, the man called
his own connection 32 times
, which made him appear
"busy"
in
his manager's system
and was able to successfully "block" all customer calls and generously leave them to his employees.

Trick to avoid work can mean dismissal
At first, the boorish nature of the tax officer was apparently not noticed, as the man had been working in the home office since the beginning of the year. But in April one of his superiors finally discovered that the 28-year-old had
significantly longer phone calls
compared to his colleagues *
. Up to this point in time, the
Swede's
other working hours
had already been
seven full working days.
The man finally admitted that he hadn't worked during that time.
Despite the unveiling of his work avoiding it-actuated after admission
again
four calls to the own mobile number - which resulted in

, according to an
internal investigation
.
The officer
justified
this
repeated misconduct
at a further summons in May by stating that his
work motivation was "extremely low"
.
Such tricks for avoiding work at your own workplace should be avoided as much as possible - the man is now threatened with them
Dismissal.
