A relative works for a governmental department which shall remain nameless - after a few months heading his department, he noticed that there was somebody on the payroll who never attended meetings. Questioning the others, they said, yeah, we haven't seen him for a while. He tracked down the guys relatives (his dad) and turned out he had been dead a few months, the dad hadn't had the heart to phone up and stop the pay cheques from being sent. Furthermore, the department decided not to claim them back for fear it would make the press. Now that is antipathy from your employer!
