New Delhi: People are often looking for a job where they can earn money by doing something. But what if you get paid for doing nothing? It sounds unbelievable but it is true. Most people would have feelings of gratitude towards this type of job. But an Irish Rail worker in Dublin is suing his superiors for forcing him to “do nothing”. Dermot Alastair Mills, a finance manager at the corporation, complains that he is very bored as he has not been given any work to perform since raising awareness of the company’s unfair accounting practices.
Mills £105,000 per annum or Rs. Let’s earn 1.03 cr. According to the Daily Mail, he now spends most of his time eating sandwiches, going on walks and reading newspapers. Although Irish Rail has not denied that Mills made a protected disclosure, they claim that they have suffered no consequences as a result. ,Also Read: Locker Charges 2022: SBI Vs HDFC Vs ICICI Vs Axis Vs PNB Vs Canara Bank Monthly & Annual Rates Compared,
According to Mills, he was promoted in 2010, but was forced to take three months off in 2013 due to “bullying”. After making an agreement that they would have “same position, same seniority” [and] equal compensation,” he later returned to the organization. Mills cites “doing nothing” as currently being restricted from using his abilities. He said this during a Workplace Relations Commission hearing.

Mills works three days in the office and two days from home. At ten in the morning, he buys a sandwich and two newspapers and enters the office. “I open my computer, log into my office, and check my emails. There are no business-related emails, texts, chats, or peer communications, according to him.
It was reported by the Daily Mail. He eats a sandwich while reading the newspaper. If he receives an email, he answers it and completes any necessary work after about 30 minutes. After lunch and a walk, if nothing remains, he returns to work between 2:30 and 3:30 and then leaves for home.
