A drill.

So duct tape, two drills together.

So in order that they could drill the wall quicker.

Unfortunately, it triggered an electrical fault in the business.

But to make it even better, one of the other employees decided to video record him doing this and post it on social media.

So as you can imagine, the employer wasn't too happy for the reputational damage that it caused.

Yeah, it just shows that while you think people have common sense, sometimes that isn't always the case.

Yeah, so I mean, basically job stacking is when you've got more than one job and you're trying to do more than one job in your normal eight hours work.

So that's obviously a minefield for employers.

Most likely the employer probably won't even know that they're doing more than one job, but can lead to different things like burnout, productivity consequences.

So the employer may wonder why somebody's not performing correctly, but ultimately they're doing more than one job at the same time and trying to keep all the balls in the air and keep all their employers happy.

And look, normally they do it for extra money, etc.

as well, so that they can keep themselves afloat in relation to different challenges they may have from a cost perspective.

Absolutely nothing is wrong with that.

And obviously people, unfortunately, take bereavement leave all the time.

However, in this particular situation, unfortunately, the employee had said that her mum had passed away.

However, it turned out that a day or two later that the employer was walking through one of the shopping centres and saw the employee and her mum was with her.

So she made a miraculous recovery.

When the employer went to check it out, they found on social media that the mum was indeed still alive and the employee had just made it up to get some time off work.

We come across it sometimes.
