For those of you in management positions...

[alchemize]

I wasn't the guys boss - but this freak at work carved "I hate my fvcking job" on the sides of several servers with a knife.

tell this kids name to us, so we all can track him down, go to his house, and beat the living crap out of him

Worst I have seen is an employee give a customer their computer back stating the work had been done when it hadn't even been touched. I ended up driving down to the customer's house to do the work. For my own employee's, I think the worst was when I had an employee no-call, no-show 5 days in a row, then proceed to make purchases with his discount after he got fired (paperwork error on our part to let him do it). Also another employee just didn't show up for the grand opening of my new store, never showed up, never called in, was never seen or heard from again, that was more weird than anything...

i have to be at work pretty early in the morning, and I am the only one there at that time except for this other guy that is a morning person and likes to come in 2hrs before he's supposed to. One morning when I came in I went straight to the bathroom to pee and he was in there standing in front of the mirror, naked, flexing his muscles. I turned right around and left, never mentioned it.

One employee I supervised called in 4 days in a row saying his grandma died, and the funeral was that day. Did he really forget he told me that the day before? Needless to say, he didn't work there for too long.

Another employee I supervised was charging all kinds of stuff to his business card. Groceries, fast food, gas, etc. He even went to the Elks Lodge and bought some beers. We didn't notice it until after he was doing it for about 8 months.

his name is Joe EMployee. Seriously, there's at least 2 or 3 guys like this at every restaurant.

We had the It guy order a lot of memory for the company PC's then sell it on ebay. Even shipped it with the company fedex account

 

[huberm]

forgot to mention this....had an employee a few weeks ago that was supposed to take a VERY IMPORTANT person out to lunch for a meeting to do some damage control over a prior situation. He said he was good to go and had it all planned out.

So the guy shows up for lunch, but my employee isn't there! He ended up eating lunch by himself. When I asked my employee about it later, he said he didn't have a signal on his cell phone to call him or me, and he had a "crick in his neck" (his literal explanation) so he couldn't go.

he was fired, I ended up having to smooth over the situation.

I'm not a supervisor, but know of a couple situations that have happened recently where I work.

One of the IT guys was taking equipment from work, and selling it on ebay. They figure he got away with it for at least a year, but for some reason he decided to start stealing and selling brand new server parts. That's when they caught on.

I think they calculated that he'd stolen / sold $30K worth of equipment.

He was canned, and is now serving time... I believe.

Another one of our IT guys (in another one of our locations) got caught using their corporate card for personal items... canned.

One of tht stores i vendor for, one of the mangers were telling me this story. This lady bought a grill chicken sandwhich, drink and fries from the restraunt. They ate like pretty much there whole meal, then the customer demanded a refund because they didnt like the meal. Well eventually the manger gave them the money back, then the customer baught the same meal again and ate the whole thing. I was like wtf, how the hell can you get a refund for food you ate?

Any somewhat competent person could do 30 cables in 3 hours easy.

Math much?

3 hours = 12 cables.
7.5 hours = 30 cables

And I'm rounding down to 15 mins/cable.

Hey, anyone remember that thread where somebody was going to turn in their co-worker for stealing from their employer (Hewlett-Packard)?

EDIT: Oh yeah, to contribute - I do helpdesk (sorry, not a manager) for a medium-sized office (~500 inside, maybe 200 more deployed). One of my team got promoted to LAN Tech, and to fill the gap we had a temp. He was quite good for the first few weeks, then he would start not showing up with no explanation, leave early, tell us different excuses than what he'd tell the temp agency. Eventually he was cut loose - then we noticed several laptops missing.

The new guy we got now is okay, he just keeps offering to get us pirated software.

I think his math is fine. It was stated that it would take a day to do 30 cables. Codewiz apparently used 8 hours as a day, and 8*60 = 480 minutes. 30 cables per 480 minutes works out to 16 minutes per cable.

Codewiz then pointed out that this is more time than necessary and believes it should only take about 6 minutes per cable = 3 hours for 30 cables. I've never done this before, so I don't know what's reasonable. However, I think a whole day is a bit excessive.

Gotcha, it was morning after new year's - not at my best

 

[Anghang]

couple of incidents:

during an attack & penetration assessment one of my newbie coworkers ran Nessus against the client's IPs w/o clearing it with us first, brought down 12 of the client's routers...

during another attack & penetration assessment for a different client we found that the system admin was sharing out over half a terabyte of MP3s to different ppl in the company...we also found half a gig of pornographic jpgs...he was let go at the end of the week.

 

[Leper Messiah]

well, this isn't too bad compared to alot of the stuff here, and I've been guilty of it in the pass...but alot of my co-workers guesstimate on their time sheets. We'll get together on site on monday to do our time sheets and none of us can remember exactly what we did what day, so we'll say, "XX and YY was accomplished on tuesday", when it probably was done on wenesday or thursday. I guess its not too bad I always feel a little bad for spreading out work for some days when we basically got nothing done, but the next day we were really effiecent.

there was this kid in high school who beat off in the pizza dough at this pizza and subs place.... pretty frigging disgusting.

 

[EightySix Four]

I worked at a pizza place once for some quick bucks. Came in one morning and the auto pizza roller had gotten ahold of a rat and rolled it out smooth over the table... the manager came in and wiped it with a wet paper towel into a trash can.

I quit and walked out on the spot, also haven't liked pizza as much since then.

ah this cheered me up some...

I don't get it.

Someone reported this guy for having porn on his laptop. So his manager confiscated the laptop and asked me to see what i could find on it. Turns out, he'd been taking picture of his step-daughter when she wasn't looking. They weren't naked pictures, but close ups of her when she was bending over, wearing loose tops, washing her car, etc... There were also pictures of him giving her a dildo as a birthday gift. She couldn't have been older then 19, and she had recently been married, but her husband was a marine serving overseas. Since it wasn't classified as porn, they simply gave him the laptop back and told him to keep his personal files off the machine.
