'Double your salary': Clever employee applies for his own job disguised as his spouse; gets paid double doing the same work

Have you ever been so good at your job that you get rewarded by having more responsibilities thrown onto your plate? The more efficient you are in your job, the more likely you are to be doing the work of several other employees. Naturally, being an invaluable employee would never earn you a well-deserved raise, but in this case, one man figured out a loophole in order to get paid for the amount of work he was doing. 

After seeing job listings for his own position at his company for months, OP cleverly decided to take advantage of the system and play a little hard ball with his company. He had asked his boss for a raise several times and they claimed it wasn't in the budget to give an existing employee more salary, but instead they had plenty of capital to hire an entirely new employee. So OP, disguised as his spouse, applied for his own position. Scroll for the full story about how one man stuck it to his bosses for denying his raise, by doing the work of two employees– except one was an alias and making $5,000 more annually than he was. 

Next, read about this hardworking employee that got his payback against an unappreciative boss in his own witty way– adopting the phrase 'Not my job' at work.
