re: Craziest Thing Someone At Your Place Of Employment Was Caught Doing?

Back in college I worked at a hotel. Back then(90's) travel agents for a 10% commission of the room rate for every room they booked. A lady that worked the front desk and reservations set up a travel agency and added it to every account that didn't already have a travel agency attached to it. She even set up her own company and PO Box. She only got caught because the sales office did a travel agent appreciation thing where they sent gift baskets to the travel agents that booked the most rooms. They called the number for her "travel agency" and her husband answered the phone.

She got fired obviously, and I think they tried to prosecute her but I can't remember. She bilked the hotel for several thousand dollars. They implemented a more stringent approval process for new travel agencies after that.
