Back in 2007, enterprising production company from finglas, Dogmedia, got real jobs, and then never showed up:

Four resourceful humans test the tolerance levels of four human resource managers by constantly failing to show up for work after being offered a job. The aim… To see who can hold onto their job the longest without ever working a day. The process… Ring work every morning explaining ones absence. The result… Imaginative excuses, irate employers and guaranteed sackings.

Was part of Darklight back in 2007.
