What is the WORST thing you or someone was caught doing at work and NOT fired?

[kenshorin]

I dunno. Me and people I've worked with have done some pretty bad stuff, and in ways that it would be impossible to have not known it was us, but no one said anything so who knows if we were "caught"...

 

[CraigRT]

completely goofing off, throwing crap around.. (it was the end of the day and i was fighting with a co-worker)
we still work here...

 

[rudder]

We caught some guy surfing child porn at work. He was fired. But since he was a state employee and they did not fire him properly, the state had to hire him back.

 

[djheater]

Smoking Pot, breaking company equipment (mouse and computer), fighting both verbally and physically with co-workers. Being rude and abusive to customers (he's tech support).

It's this old guy that's friends with the owner's son. Basically he's on the payroll to babysit the owner's fvckup kid.

Really burns my ass.

Take his salary and give it to me. I'll beat the fvckers ass into shape.

hmm... a few weeks ago, I was surfing the web and tlking on AIm with a few of my friends, and my boss walked into my cubicle, so I closed the browser and minimized the AIM windows. He talks at me for a few minutes, and then one of my friends, who just signed on, sent me a message and of course the window popped up. Luckily, he asked me why I was at work when I told him I wasn't going to be earlier, and my boss just laughed and typed the response himself of "Get to work Chris". The really lucky part is that my friend was almost about to IM me asking "So did the fat fvcker complain when you got to work?" asking of course about out boss. That would have been very very bad

 

[Dedpuhl]

The worst I've done is puked beer and bile in my boss's trash can.

 

[Argo]

A temp was showing me how big her boobs were when the president of the company walked in. He opened his mouth as if he were going to say something, but thought better of it, turned around and walked out.

There is also a guy in our office who does absolutely nothing. I'm serious. He doesn't get up from his chair other than to pick up the linux manuals he prints (even though we don't use linux), and to get food / soda. We've come to accept that he does nothing, but its annoying. When he is actually given work to do, he finds a way to screw it up.

One of our supervisors surfs Match.com all day. It took a year to fire a lady who didnt show up half the time.

lol
where do you work man

 

[Ynog]

When I was younger, during a summer job, a few people were found asleep. Not fired.

Oh and one guy accidentaly was horsing around and caused a fire that burned down a shed

 

[MystikMango]

Had a birthday party for me at a satellite office that was no longer being used. There were about 8 co-workers total, and 1 security guard. Of the co-workers, my direct supervisor and his supervisor (Director) was there. We had BBQ ribs, hambergers, beer... lots o' beer. The party started about 10am and went to about 3pm during working hours. Everyone was pretty much drunk, including the security guard.

Somehow, someone suggested that we race wheeled trash cans down this loading dock. The first 3 heats went fine, even though you spun around and couldn't control where you were heading (except down the ramp). How's that saying go? Oh yeah... "It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt."

The 4th heat was the bad one. Mr. Drunk sat way too low into the trash can, and had his arms tucked-in beside him. As he spun around his can tipped, and he landed on his head, while everyone else cheered the winner at the end of the ramp. We noticed that Mr. Drunk wasn't moving, we all ran over to him, just in time to see blood flowing from his head and neck. Everyone jumped into organized action, it was amazing.

I revived Mr. Drunk, wrapped his head in "bandages" (shop rags and electrical tape).
Supervisor ran to get a hose to wash the blood off the ramp.
Director went back to work to fill out vacation forms for everyone present at the party.
Co-workers ran to clear out food, grill, beer and other evidence.
Security guard pulled the security tapes and ploped a blank tape in after we left, put an entry in his log that the recorder was acting funny.
A co-worker that lived blocks from work volunteered to take Mr. Drunk to the hospital, as the rest of the group fomulated a believable story.

No one from work (other 1100 employees) heard about the incident, and no one got in trouble over it. Mr. Drunk was so drunk he didn't remember anything, and the injury was blamed on him being drunk and playing football in the streets with his friends. Mr. Drunk had a good 3-inch vertical "W" cut across the back of his head (32 stitches), and spent 2 days in the hospital with a concussion, but was otherwise fine and made a full recovery.

I'll never do something so stupid again. Next time I'll make sure helmets are fashioned from paper plates.

i've slept that's about it.. i'm a goody two shoes.

had 1 girl at a sleep lab just decided to go home one night left her 2 patients in their beds. the 2 other techs and hospital security spent half the night looking for her thinking she was kidnapped or soemthing, finally they called her house to see if her daughter knew where she was, and she answered the phone. I thnk they had to come up with somehting else to fire her with though.

I have a friend who was in this phase of bouncing from job to job in VT when he was like 19. One job he had was working in the warehouse of a local milk distributor, with stacks of crates of milk everywhere. They naturally wear hardhats, and carry around these long (about 3 foot) iron bars with a 90 degree bend at the end, used for hooking and picking up crates. He showed me one time how guys like to joke around and whak each other on the hardhats with these, he even did it to me when I was at his house once. It doesn't hurt.

Anyways, my friend worked 3rd shift and there was this guy who went around whaking people over the head excessively, to the point of major annoyance. Only my friend and the jerk and one other guy were working, and the moron wacked my friend who was not in a good mood, who then turned around, grabbed the dudes hook and told the jerk off something to the effect of "don't fvcking do that again!" The jerk took a swing at my freind who ducked it, nailed the guy in the gut and knocked him into a stack fo milkcrates spilling milk everywhere. In his rage, my friend grabbed a handy nearby gallon jug of milk and chucked it at the dude's head, which narrowly missed, exploding. He was and is a nice guy, it's amazing what some crappy jobs do to people.

The story ends with them calling and getting up the manager at 3am (2 hours earlier than usual) and the third guy who was the only witness to the event took the side of the jerk who started it. So my friend was "suspended indefinitely," not technically fired. Which sucks cuz if he was fired he could have gotten unemployment, and his indefinite suspension has never been lifted.

Reported him to the store manager and he did nothing. Reported him to the district loss prevention manager. He did nothing. I know he was eventually fired, but I am not sure for what exactly.

Why on earth did the other store accept returns on opened softwares?

Most of my co-workers have been caught being incompetent and still have a job.

Long ago, when I was a 17 or 18 year old slacker working at McDonald's, I caught one of the assistant managers stealing. She was going hardcore on the old under-ring scam. I mean, she wasn't ringing anything up. I told the store manager about it, but I don't know whether he believed me. But I heard from a friend still working there after I quit that she was fired by the franchise owner six months later for stealing. So she was fired, but it sure took them long enough.
