Every employee eagerly awaits the first of the month, as it marks the arrival of their salary. This day brings a sense of relief and excitement, filling their pockets and allowing them to indulge in various pleasures and settle numerous bills. When the notification of salary credit arrives on their mobile, it often leads to a joyful leap of happiness.
Imagine the shock if a company mistakenly deposits millions instead of the expected salary. In a bizarre incident in Chile, a company named Food Industrial Consortium (Cial) accidentally credited one of its employees with 286 times his actual salary. The employee's rightful salary was 500,000 pesos (approximately 43,000 rupees), but the company mistakenly transferred 165,398,851 Chilean pesos (around 1.42 crore rupees) into his bank account.
Cial, which includes well-known Chilean brands like San Jorge, La Preferida, and Winter, is the largest producer of cecinas, a type of dried meat. When the company requested the employee to return the mistakenly deposited funds, he initially promised to do so. However, he later resigned and vanished, leaving no trace behind. The company discovered the error on May 30, and by June 2, the employee had submitted his resignation and disappeared. This unusual story has recently gone viral on social media.
