Yesterday, one of our VPs accidentally texted (teams) an entire group of folks with some very toxic and pointed stuff that was meant for another chat she was having with a co-worker. In this group were the people she named. I don't see how she makes it thru the day, even if she's not fired, I don't see how she can show her face. Ouch.

Several years back, one of the guys in xxx department texted to a group DURING a meeting about how so and so was such a bitch... and she was ON the text, IN THE MEETING. She got up and left, bawling... dude was fired almost on the spot.

My momma always said, don't say things in a chat when you have multiple chats running that you wouldn't want everyone to see. Or something like that.

A former coworker ran the company credit card run up 25k on big screen TV's. I never heard what the end game of that one was supposed to be.

Dropping 25K on a company expense card at a strip club only to get reprimanded. Dude took that as a sign to continue doing it somehow.

So he did the same thing the next week and they packed his shite and locked his office door

One I've heard about...happened to a friend....

Had a fling with the owner of the company's wife. He was early 20s she was 40 or so.

Husband didn't care. Might have actually been why he hired the kid in the first place. It was all fine until the word got out all over town. Then he got embarrassed so he had to fire the kid. But then that looked even worse so he had to hire the kid back at a big promotion.

That's a story around town anyhow.

A couple years out of high school I worked an assembly job putting together big computer servers. The memory and other expensive shite stayed locked up in a parts room and had to be signed for. They got shipments in three or four times a week. Stuff started coming up missing. Not a lot from any particular delivery, but enough. We're talking thousands of dollars in a box that can fit in a lunchbox.

Anyway, turns out that the night security guard and another guy were in cahoots. The security guard would help with cameras and such and the other guy would take the stuff out. This went on for about six months before they were caught, and they moved a bunch of stuff.

How did they get caught? Well, the other guy was the one responsible for selling the stolen goods. He sold it on Ebay. His address was attached to that account. To top it off, all items were sold in their original boxes with the company's logo on them. That company had their own branded components. All the investigators had to do was watch the guy's Ebay site and bid/buy. They bought three times before they shut it down. He shipped from a PO Box that had his mother's name on it.

Supervisor in the shipping department of a company I worked for in college got caught forging company checks to lease himself a pickup.

How he thought he would get away with that is beyond me.

Bathrooms were full, so this guy hid behind a pallet and took a dump on the floor. He didn't realize he was on security camera the whole time.

This one time an old man just took a job coaching a huge college football program in the south. One of his first orders of business was to go to Arety’s Angels in Pensacola, one of THE trashiest strip clubs in the south. He gave the stripper the credit card that belonged to the huge football program and she ran up a small fortune in debt.

He never coached a game at said program. Roll Tide.

I wish the VP of sales for my company would do that. She’s a rotten bitch who’s in over her head and has no idea what she’s doing. She needs to go and I pray she’s stupid enough to do something like that.

College job working at a law firm as a runner. One of the partners came into our office and asked another runner to take a couple of boxes and a dolly to his car. He gave the kid his keys and said 'everything in the trunk'

Attorney comes back 15-20 minutes later and asks where his keys are. Kid responds with 'you said everything in the trunk' He didn't make it through the afternoon.
