Not quite 4 months, but I’ve seen this happen and it was weird.
This was awhile ago, back when working from home was pretty unusual.
The guy took a bunch of equipment home but stopped working on anything. Management really wanted the hardware back so were waiting to ambush him at the office to fire him and take the hardware.
So when he just didn’t come in, management shrugged and said they couldn’t do anything about it until he showed up.
It was months before someone called him and just asked for the equipment back, to which he did without hesitation - But he did get immediately fired afterwards.
