That made me vaguely remember the story someone once upon a time posted somewhere about his position being obsolete and going to work doing nothing... It's been so long, I don't remember enough details to search for it. Maybe someone here would help me out.

Edit: I meant exactly what Tomte posted (see below), thanks!

Slightly nicer format for reading, along with some background info: https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/American-Dream

This could rather easily be turned into a decent movie.

Reminds me of this story of a civil servant who was told to stay home until called, fired 5 years later when they discovered he had been paid all that time without working, ordered to pay back those 5 years of wages, fought it in court for another 6 years, and in the end won 11 years of wages.
