Teacher sacked for avoiding work for 20 years branded 'the worst employee'

A rogue teacher who avoided doing any actual work for 20 years has finally been sacked. Cinzio Paolina De Lio was branded ‘the worst employee in Italy’ by her former secondary school.

The 56-year-old had been hired to teach literature and philosophy 24 years ago - but only showed up to teach her students during four of them.

The Mirror reports that she spent the rest of her time creatively using sick leave, holidays and permits to attend conferences to dodge doing any work.
