.....can you guess the reason he gave for leaving early?

And no, being tired of working for me wasn't it. 😉

I must say, I was rather amused at the reason given and have passed the problem to HR to deal with.

He reckoned that shutting his computers down was part of his job rather than something he did after the end of his working day?

Well Smee was in the right area due to aliens being something that folk may believe exist too.

WTF.. A few clues would help, Vic! Like what work it is, what the employees into, etc...

Watching kids do sports?
Going to Swingers evening with partner?
Going to finish off model of the HMS Victory made entirely from matchsticks?
Felt ill after eating too much Pot Noodle?

Come on, help us out a bit!

Might help if we knew how old he was, and a few other background details, as without them we're sorely lacking on probability

Well 'he' is in his 50's and works in a distribution centre.

'He' is also apparently quite into spiritualism.

no shit!

Tread carefully with HR on this one would be my advice. Being evil undead they probably believe in this shit too.

HR aren't the evil undead as that would suggest they were once human.

I've only recently started working nights but apparently this chap regularly has to leave early because of a ghost that floats around the DC.

Thats right, a man in his 50's swears blind that a ghost of a signalman throws equipment at him and sometimes sneaks up behind him when he is picking and asks him to "help meeeeeee..." in a ghostly howl.

Having had to get up early today to speak to HR on this they've informed me that they are at a loss what to do.

They've had doctors reports on his mental health (apparently he is fine) and have even had a priest in to conduct an exorcism on the site but to no avail.

LMAO that they actually got a priest in. Best thing to do is fit a couple of cameras in the data centre and tell him. Bet the ghost shows up no more.

He is probably laughing like f£*k that your company is still falling for that one, (may consider trying it myself actually it is quite genius) :mrgreen:
