I honestly can't tell if this is a joke or not
The best meme is the one that can unironically help someone when the joke ends.

That happened to a friend of mine. He deleted everything when he had a mental health episode. Took time off. They found his remains months later.
So yeah, could be.
Take two weeks vacation. Get paid.
Miss two weeks of work. Get paid.
Get fired. Get two weeks severance and unemployment.
Homie quit and got six weeks pay plus unemployment benefits.
Prob aren't getting severance nor unemployment if you get fired for 2 weeks of no-call-no-show.
Severance, you're right. Unemployment is likely still on the table depending on the state. In Texas, the person can file for unemployment. The company can challenge saying they were a no show but the employee can argue that it isn't true. It is just easier to allow unemployment to just cover it.
EDIT: I once had a guy work for two week as a 1099 and he still filed for unemployment. That got denied because he was never an actual employee, but had we not noticed the claim in the mail, he would have gotten paid.
I used to work in HR. Can confirm that some managers will just pay out bullshit claims because it would be expensive to litigate.

Why would he get paid for not showing up for 2 weeks, at least when I went on parental leave I had to talk to HR every week I didn't work and ask them to use my sick time, even then they'd forget and I'd have to remind them before the week was off otherwise I wouldn't get a check
Salaried employees get paid by default. Someone has to notify accounting to not pay the person, not the other way around. This has been the process for every company I have ever worked for, or owned. I am not saying that what you are saying isn't true, I am saying that it is fucked up.
I quit my startup like that.
We were making it: we were eking by and just starting to turn the corner when one of the partners did some legal wrangling to grab power. FineYouDoIt.jpg because I'd had enough already and prepped my next job.
Hopped a plane. Hopped another. Hopped another. Three people on the planet knew where I was: Mom, GF, and guy who bashes bags at the local airport who saw my name on the flight manifest and checked my connection. Went to the waiting apartment to start the next day. Never looked back, didn't answer email except when Cop friend emailed and asked whether I was missing. Nope, so case closed.
But why
Step one in his plan of stealing the declaration of Independence
He said he just had enough
A resignation would've worked just fine. I guess maybe paired with a restraining order if all of this was even remotely necessary.
Yeah, feels a bit too dramatic for no apparent reason
I don't know. Sometimes I wonder how far I could get on the money in the bank and the gas in my car. Just keep driving.

I’ve been in a few situations before where it’s been incredibly tempting to just not show up because:
- Your management doesn’t value your input
- Nepotism is prevalent when promotions come around
- You’re not doing the type of work that was advertised in the job post and discussed your first two weeks
- You’re doing excellent work solving difficult and/or outstanding problems but someone else gets the credit
Sure, you could put in a notice of resignation, but if you know that your manager is going to harass you for reasons why, possibly belittle you, and try to guilt-trip you into giving more time to the company to “finish out” tasks on your queue that they’ve not bothered to train anyone else on that you’ve requested over the last two years, then wanting to cut ties as quickly as possible given the toxic environment is a fairly normal desire.
Not saying it’s the right thing to do, and all the flight-hopping that OP claims does seem a tad strange, but sometimes people end up in a fairly unsupportive or toxic environment where you just have to take actions in putting as much distance and as many barriers in place as possible to mentally feel like you’ve regained some level of control.
Absolutely. I was supporting, "But why?" as a valid question because there's more going on here than just being sick of a job. Yeah some places can be super toxic, but this sounds more like what you'd do if they wanted to ask questions about missing money or you punched a coworker or fleeing an abusive spouse. Not that I'm accusing OP of any of that, just agreeing that this is so extreme there's something unsaid here.
or dead
I used to fantasize about doing this.
When it got to a point that I was making careful plans for how to effectively remove all traces of my existence before walking into the sea or something, I realized that it was probably not a good thing that I was fixating on this "fantasy" and how attractive it was becoming, so I went to a nice little family mental health clinic in walking distance.
I was diagnosed with depression, PTSD and general anxiety disorder. A few years and a few rounds of therapy and medication later and I'm... still struggling. But at least I'm not planning my exit. There's a lot to live for, but you can't see it when your brain starts running away with your mental narratives. Don't ruminate, don't fantasize. Get some help and do something new with your lives.

Suicide then, unlikely anyone else could delete all his social media.
Interesting that this is "Livin the dream". It happened at my friend's workplace and the leading theory is that he did some diddling and is escaping the repercussions. Guess it's a fine line...
Cheated on his wife. Kid diddler. Embezzlement.
They're never as juicy as people like to think it is. It's usually something lame like depression or raising diddlers.
Depression and raising toddlers can both be the result of ill-advised diddling

Living the dream from the bottom of the Tiber river.
I worked at a restaurant as a teen. One of the managers went to Hawaii for vacation and never came back. Food service jobs are not hard to find. The bartender he was occasionally fucking was pretty unhappy because he didn't even tell her or call.
Every time I've gone to a beautiful place, (Kauai/Virgin Islands/Moab etc) I've run into former insurance salesman types who just said fuck it, and stayed, and now live in an old school bus and fix outboards or whatever. Often it was precipitated by a big life event like a divorce or a child leaving the nest but sometimes they just bounced. I get it.

You sure he didn't get kidnapped or run out of money?
What to do if you win the lottery 101

I, too, fantasize about my coworkers wondering where I am, cue comedy smash cut to my slowly swinging corpse
If/when I do kms it won't be by hanging but it's a funnier mental image
That's nothing to joke about.
Get help!

I've had some coworkers that would have made my life better if they'd f'ed off to Italy and never come back.
Living the dream or not living anymore, we'll never know
This post is actually scary. Probably should get in touch with the embassy or something and get a courtesy check done on him?

Something similar happened to a coworker of mine a long time ago. This girl I used to work with, Adriana, her boyfriend, Christopher, called us at work one day one said that she went on vacation and she just never came back. It was a shame too because the guy died in a car crash like a year later. I saw it on the news.
