What would happen if you decided one day to hire someone, at your employer's expense, to take over your primary job responsibilities at work, while still expecting your employer to pay you your full salary?
Would he or she agree to it?

Lots of assumptions being made here. I didn't mention the war czar at any time; you're confusing the answers with my question. I asked a very simple "yes" or "no" question, and everyone gets defensive. LOL!

You have hiring and firing power without your boss' consent? I'm an employer. If one of my employees hired someone (without my consent) to do their job, then I wouldn't see the need to keep them both. Probably I would fire you, and keep the person that is capable of handling the workload.

I'm an employer and NO. The legal and ethical ramifications are huge.
Something similar did happen during the Civil War. In the North if you were drafted you could pay someone to take your place. Is this a good idea??? If you have money why can't you use it for your advantage???

That wouldn't happen because *I* can only spend my employers money with my employers approval -- so really I wouldn't be deciding to do that.
Your question is, logically, nonsense.

I'm currently seeking to hire someone to do just that...
Isn't executive discretion grand?

I personally wouldn't agree to it..i employ you to do a job and it is my job to cover your a_s when you aren't in.. you have no say in how I run things..Also will the company insurance cover someone else coming in..

That would be my last day at my job if I suggested such a thing. Absolutely not.

Wow, never thought about that. So I guess that means I'll tell my boss to fire the consultants he hired so that they would streamline our process, allow us to save money, and rehire some folks that were laid off.
Your right, let's never hire experts to improve a situation!!! You really believe anyone takes you seriously?????

It all depends on your level in the organization and whether you have the ability to subdelegate or consult with others.

You would probably get fired by your boss, and sued by the new "employee" for misrepresentation and breach of contract

You would not be in the position to hire someone unless cleared with your employer, so it wouldn't matter.
