I think it gets especially difficult in places like work because there are many employees, and managers often can’t keep track of everyone. The ones who get noticed are the ones who make themselves noticeable

I think this employee was very clever about how he pulled this off. Obviously, I don’t think the tactic is bulletproof, but it definitely worked for him. I also loved the figurine’s involvement and how, years later, it turned out to be a treasure for other reasons.
