“Had a habit of taking one of the news vans, with our station logo prominently displayed, to the local strip club.” "We didn’t have HR, and obviously, I wasn’t there when these edits were happening. Another was deleting orders and taking the cash from the till. Just because you can’t see them on the POS anymore, doesn’t mean they aren’t logged, lol." "Everything is lined up, every process followed, none of this is a surprise to anyone attending. Appropriate support all around (strong employee protections in my country), things have been calm and negotiated clearly the entire time. Final meeting, and the dude getting fired suddenly loses it, goes on a rant defending his behaviour, which accidentally outs him doing worse behaviour we didn’t have on camera. Before anyone can say anything, he realises he’s fucked up, throws a punch at my head and runs for the door." "Policy after a crane accident of any kind is to drug-test EVERYONE involved immediately. Well, if you know anything about riggers, you know absolutely none of them are passing an unplanned drug test. We lost 80% of our rigging crew that day, and training riggers is a LONG process on a nuclear base." "He had a whole house that he lived in with his parents. This was a part-time summer job, but he wasn't, like, 'working homeless' sort of situation. He just wanted to go straight to a party after work without going home to shower. "Senior leader stops by the office on a Saturday afternoon. Small office in a residential-ish building. Big glass window, making the entire office visible from the front door. Well, not just the office, but also that employee who came in to finish some work. Pants around his ankles, jerking off to random porn. And his back to the door, so he didn’t notice anything. Senior leader backed down very, very quietly, exited the building. Then entered it again, making sure to slam the main door as loud as he could, and making as much noise as possible in the stairwell, while walking as slowly as he could. The jerk off was also known to have gotten way too drunk on a first date, and puked in his date’s car. Somehow salvaged it, only to do it again on the second date."
