Show Notes
January has a habit of making people question their jobs.
In this Pocket Change episode of Money2Byrne, we tell the true story of an employee who handed in their notice, stopped working… and yet continued to get paid because nobody in the company realised they had actually left.
From HR assumptions and payroll systems to the quiet chaos of large organisations, this episode looks at how someone can disappear from a workplace without anyone noticing and what it says about modern corporate life.
A short, funny, and slightly uncomfortable story that feels very fitting for January.
Perfect for a quick listen while commuting, walking, or hiding from your inbox.

January is the season of new roles, new titles, and slightly confusing email signatures.
