On Friday, I recieved an email containing a story which sounded a little suss’ but wasn’t yet verified or debunked on Snopes… so I left them a comment containing the body of the email and information I was able to find on the matter online.
Well, Snopes have published the result of their investigation… and as I suspected, it turns out that the story about the wife of dead contractor taking him to work so that she can continue to collect his pay, and his longevity bonus was in fact false.
