Fat paychecks for little work
4. Edward McSweegan
While he may not be as high profile or as well-paid as the other names
on this list,
McSweegan may have found the sweetest deal an average guy could find.
In a coup
ripped directly from one of George Costanza’s daydreams, McSweegan
claimed that
he did nothing for seven years while employed as a scientist at the
National Institutes
of Health.
In 2003 McSweegan told the Washington Post that he hadn’t really been
given any
job responsibilities since 1996.
Prior to that, he had been a researcher and program officer on Lyme
disease, but
he was removed from that position in 1995 for arguing with a
sufferers’ support
group.
Although he had a title as director of the U.S.-Indo Vaccine Action
Program and
a list of nominal duties associated with that role, McSweegan claimed
that he only
carried out the tiniest of tasks like ordering coffee. In exchange, he
received
a salary in the neighborhood of $100,000.
When the NIH vehemently disputed McSweegan’s story that he simply went
to work and
did nothing all day, he maintained that he never received any
assignments. McSweegan
would show up, sit in his office, and read to kill time.
He took up fiction writing to fill his workdays and published a pair
of novels he
allegedly wrote while at the office. He told CBS in an interview that
he also joined
a health club near work “just to sort of break up the day.”
The most amazing part of McSweegan’s story isn’t that he managed to
stay employed
through this seven-year period, but that he received positive
performance reviews
from his superiors. He wryly explained to CBS, “I guess I’m good at
doing nothing.”
