party did nothing to warrant termination in the manager who fired her was dismissed a young accountant around 24 made an appointment to see her manager both parties agree that she informed him that she would be having surgery the following data remove and bar see a tumor she wanted to discuss the status of her projects and develop a coverage plan for while she was on medical leave he wanted her to delay her surgery until after a certain project was complete while she was walking to Human Resources to apply for a medical leave of absence her manager followed her and screamed at her about being insubordinate and insisted that he would fire her if she didn't return to her desk immediately she calmly stated that this was a medical emergency in the timing of the surgery was not negotiable so he fired her in front of the Director of Human Resources he was terminated the next day which I did not witness she returned to work once she had recovered enough to do so about a month later if memory serves that HR director was the only thing standing between that employer and a massive wrongful termination settlement shut down a mainframe that's noon then detect went into wiring closet and started unplugging things which dropped the system at peak traffic was working and all of a sudden half of all traffic fails out of the blue and all my tools blow up with alerts the guy that did it didn't have a work order to even be in the cabinet in the first place let alone to unplug anything it was also not the first time that guy had done it they fired him and his manager , they fired him and his manager that my favorite one dude Forex up so bad his manager gets fired my first job I worked at a grocery store I didn't remember much but I do remember one day when the store got crazy busy and they had to pull people like me from other departments to work checkouts they have me as a bagger and the guy if the scanner is another guy that I worked with in produce now when this guy gave change he'd accidentally pull out an extra fiver and pretend to put it back in the register when counting out change then he slipped it into his pocket once the customer turned around I noticed this pretty quickly because he's doing it with literally every customer even if they weren't getting change he'd pull one out and act like he forgot they paid with a card after I noticed it I saw him do it a couple more times and thought wow wonder how long he can get away with that not two seconds passed between me thinking that and me turning to see that night's manager with a police officer walking towards our checkout counter fired on the spot and arrested the employee stole money out of a customer's bag while the customer was watching while unlike three different cameras she was removed by police and our senior-most manager on duty went to the police station to fire her directly from there worked at a restaurant that was having a meeting with everyone present including the higher-ups pretty normal meeting and everyone is discussing changes they'd like to see all changes they'd appreciate etc at one point head manager asks if anyone else has something to share this one dishwasher raises his hand and says I know I've not always been the best but I'm gonna work on that from now on I won't get high in the stairwell by the dumpster I'll walk down the street on my break you won't even smell it on me anymore promise dead silence in the room manager speaks up did everyone else just hear that we all not great so now I have to look like an butthole and fire you what were you thinking manager says dishwasher is shocked but but I said I was fixing it you guys won't even know anymore he was walked out and removed in front of the whole staff I tossed some stuff into a bin next to the guy in the warehouse during a summer job in college he thought I was throwing it at him and started yelling and coming at me I ignored him and went on to the next shelf that I needed to put stuff away on and he kept after me at this point he was yelling so loudly that the shop boss hurt him from the other side of the massive warehouse and had made his way over from behind the guy the boss looked to me and asked what was going on and I told him the other guy was still yelling he was gone in less than ten minutes it was his first day if the guy was the hot-headed you're lucky he wasn't waiting for you in the parking lot when your shift was done department manager asked to go home early because of snow flurries we said she and anyone else who was worried about getting home safely could leave but if the roads are open the next day we expect them to come in next day comes and her entire department called in they all have variations that I can't get my car out of the driveway day three comes one of her underlings admits that on the day of the flurries the department manager told all her people to meet in a local parking lot and told them that they all better call in the next day or she would make their lives a living heck this was apparently to teach the owner a lesson once we got another employee to confirm the story she was fired on the spot the best kind of plans are the ones that rely on tons of people not saying anything a guy started his first shift at a pizza place I used to work at he said when he worked at Hardee's if someone came and he didn't like he would pee on the grill then cook their burger owner overheard this and fired him what a reasonable and mentally stable care worker I made the mistake of hiring a friend who was going through a difficult time I was going through a separation and I had to leave every couple of weeks or so to spend time with the kids one day on getting back I found out they'd been leaving hours early all week to set up a competing business when I asked them about it I withheld some information I already knew and they lied to me a breach of fiduciary duty instant termination in the following week I took over their work email and found she contacted at least two of our clients with suggestions that they leave with her apparently I'm the ago they she either legitimately can't grasped why she was in the wrong or she's intellectually dishonest about it worked at Waffle House a cook came in for the first time in weeks clearly high on something not wearing shoes the manager goes to tell him that he can't cook without shoes because it's a health code violation the cook gets angry takes a pork chop off the grill with his spatula shouts Frick you and flings it at the managers face I worked in a doctor's office and we had a maternity leave that was being covered by PRN help and well one person who came to help cover the office had been passed from office to office because she couldn't do anything right she couldn't take a patient back in under 20 minutes she couldn't file paperwork it was just bad but so she arrives at our office and we put her answering phone calls she answered the phone this is doctor X's office can I take your order my manager lost it and told her to leave and never come back worst part she called the boss and asked for a new assignment he had to repeat three times that she was fired and there was no new assignment she genuinely did not understand what you're fired meant this is doctor X's office can I take your order yes I'd like some amoxicillin tablets and a ventolin inhaler please God she was a piece of work never worked called out two weekends in a row lying about broken legs or her car not starting lied to get other employees in trouble for her freak ups bragged about how much work she got out off to the owner's son who also worked there we couldn't convince the GM to fire this lazy little crap he had a soft spot for her finally someone showed the GM a Facebook post she made public absolutely trash-talking him the only person had work who didn't hate her guts and lying about how much she works and how the entire store is incompetent except her he wrote her up for poor conduct unexcused call house etc she refused to sign the write up because she's right that he was worthless and he fired her right there it was like a 160 pound weight got lifted off of everyone there 90% of the staff was looking for new jobs she was a walking toxic cloud worked at Staples the ex-employee was putting a galaxy s3 tablet into his pocket in the back room I was around the corner and the manager was very quick to tell him he's fired and he will be calling the cops the ex-employee said he was just going to leave before they showed up the manager reminded him he has his address and information from the hiring process he proceeded to cry I worked at a bowling alley as a teenager one girl was immediately fired for dropping a ball on the foot of a complaining patron oops used to work at ice-cream place that is a popular summer hangout spot for families in my town a girl that I worked with who had a reputation for being sought a wild came in absolutely smashed and started getting dirty looks from parents the owner came out and asked her to step into his office and she started refusing and making a big fuss so he fired her on the spot she was going to be fired anyway he was simply trying to save some face for her by delivering the news in private fine have it your way in the most publicly humiliating way possible one of my co-workers accused another of stealing medication out of a personal locker with a combination lock we asked the victim how he accused knew the code and that there was medication the victim responded that he had previously sold medication to the accused and that he must have seen the code the accused employee may or may not have been guilty he denied taking the meds and a search of his locker yielded nothing the victim was promptly fired because selling prescription medications on company property is grounds for instant termination got distracted during a surgery killed his patient because he was joking goofing around with the surgical assistants and camera caught it patient died he's now in jail look up dancing surgeon similar case she's a plastic surgeon who had a collection of videos on YouTube of herself rapping and dancing while performing surgery she was suspended in the state of Georgia for malpractice I don't think she got arrested server at an Italian restaurant a co-worker tried hitting on a guest who was celebrating her 14th birthday with her entire family her friends were telling him not to try anything but he still asked for her number and her mom overheard everything the mother quickly informed our GM who confronted the server and fired him on the spot about a year or so later he tried asking for his job back there's no I thought she was older excuses when all you have to do is count the candles on the cake worked in an energy efficiency rebate program assessing applications one employee was making exceptions for her contractor buddies she wasn't even allowed to empty her desk her manager delivered her personal items to her outside I was working as a baggage handler ramp agent is the real job title for your information and they'd hired a guy whom everyone hated he was lazy stupid and annoying one of the big rules when working around airplanes as you don't go anywhere near the engines while they're still running they'll suck you right in and cut you into a million little pieces in one second they put the fear of God into you about this during training well before you get near an airplane once a plane pulls into the gate you wait until you have confirmation that the engine has been turned off before you approach it if you're not sure you don't approach the plane well one day a plane pulls up to the gate and he walks right up to the engine while it's still running people are yelling his vest is flapping like crazy but he's so aloof he doesn't notice someone runs up to him and he Yanks him back to a safe distance they had already been building up a case to fire him but that made it a lot easier the supervisor walked him into the manager's office and he was fired right away we all rejoiced I was very alarmed about how this one could have turned out to be honest rolled his eyes and chuckled at a manager's meeting while the GM was addressing some issues GM told him in that attitude is why you don't deserve to be a manager here please leave double-quote guy got up and was never heard from again a food runner at a bar I used to frequent was fired from his job for stealing a giant bottle of Grey Goose the best part is that it was a display only bottle that was filled with water interesting where I'm from it's illegal for establishments to refill the Capitals with anything even the same exact liquor for any reason whatsoever we had to break them into the trash when empty to ensure that they couldn't be stolen and refilled totally irrelevant great story though law I saw coworker get fired for answering an emergency phone call our district manager didn't like to see us with phones so he fired her right there the call was letting her know her father was dying on the less depressing side she was already planning on leaving had her next job lined up and everything that sucks about her father but good for her while he wasn't exactly fired on the spot I did see a guy screw himself out of severance in Canada they have to give you advanced warning or pay out a certain amount if they fire you on the spot well this one [ __ ] was going to get fired for being generally incompetent the final straw was when he offered his own backyard service to a lady for a car problem she didn't actually have her problem was foam on the oil filler cap he claimed it was a head gasket but it was just some moisture from a cold day anyways the boss goes to fire him and he panics he goes on this speech about how he could run the shop better than the owner and manager and demands that the manager is fired and he replace him or else he quits so the boss just says that he accepts his resignation and wishes him the best in the future error 404 brain not found some young girl picked a fight with an old a woman who worked with us and went running for the box cutter dryer she was escorted out and we were asked to file a police report urinating in the Caesar salad bucket the salad that was about to be plated and served to a 125 person wedding reception in the employees defense he asked to go to the bathroom and the head chef would not let him leave the salad station I worked at a hospital for children and came in one morning to find the security guard who was one of my work buddies waiting for me at my desk I worked really early in the morning at either 5 a.m. or 6 a.m. he was kind of shaken up and it took some coaxing to get him to tell me what was wrong apparently this old guy who worked overnight at the switchboard operator desk who I always thought was really nice since we sometimes cross over by an hour or two and would just chat about the world had been caught by the security guard looking up CP on the work computer keep in mind we worked at a hospital for children not that CP is okay in any other scenario but it was particularly frightening to know that this guy had access to patient areas and was surrounded by kids all day some of whom did not have the cognitive capacity of normally functioning kids and tend to be targeted more frequently by those with nefarious motives also as if CP wasn't bad enough apparently it had a strong element of BDSM as well according to my security friend he actually wasn't certain of the children and the pictures he happened to see was still alive I want to throw up just typing that out I had to cover the switchboard that morning when HR called him in I never saw the old guy again and my security guard but he had to speak with a bunch of people to verify along with the IT department what he had seen a friend of mine got fired on the spot for posting a minor plot point on Facebook about a movie we were working on he made a comment about how dumb some of the plot was under the trailer post for the movie sadly his friend had a friend who worked at the studio we were working for just like that blacklisted from the company reminds me of how a few days ago were ready to post it at TIFF who about how they posted a picture of a scene they were doing captions for because of a background detail that had turned out that the episode hadn't had yet so he had violated his NDA I worked as a temp in IT at nurses college in the ground floor was a student loan department one of them found an iPhone in one of the student bathroom upstairs during lunch and put it in her desk a few hours later student came to us for some reason lost-and-found was in the IT office and reported it missing and that she had accidentally left in the women's room after calling her boyfriend my boss found the phone by simply calling the number it had a unique ringtone of course Department had walked in her office opened the drawer and confirmed it was the missing phone and fired her in the middle of a conference with a student I overheard him say if you can't do the right thing in a simple situation like this how can I trust you to do your job ethically this guy was working for my dad in construction he was the son of a friend lot the big boss and was hired as a favor so we're told that the guy is big strong and has a horrible drinking problem so we are not under any circumstance is allowed to take him with for a beer after work it worked for a while until one of the guys bought beers after work the next morning he got picked up at 5:00 a.m. had a DUI couldn't drive and smelled like a brewery once that first beer hit his lips it was game on and he drank from 3 p.m. until 4:00 in the morning gets to the job and tries to cut cast iron with a soil pipe cutter he got the blood chewing of a lifetime and was told not to touch anything until the day ended that guy was a train wreck and he was only 28 my colleague threatened to destroy the server room if he wasn't made my peer rather than my subordinate he was a year older and we were hyper competitive over a promotion that I ended up winning I thought it was all in a healthy way if I might have thought differently if I hadn't got it I guess I don't think for a second he meant what he said but my boss was left with no choice but to assume he did both felt very bad about it afterwards I watched an entire engineering team get fired on the spot during a meeting with the CEO about 10 years back we were working on developing a new chip as a successor to the company's current offering the old ship had been developed on an expensive process meaning more advanced technology was used in making the wafers increasing the cost and the CEO was adamant that the new chip he made cheaper to keep the story short let's just say the new process wasn't working and during a status meeting with the CEO the team leader tried to argue we needed to scrap a lot of the existing work and go with a more expensive process the CEO wasn't having it cursed out the team led in front of all the VPS and fired nearly the entire group only a couple of us were kept around to keep the previous chip on life support after a few years of steadily losing market share we tried again paying millions of dollars to buy a new team of new IP and the first thing they did was switch us to a more expensive process just like the first team had tried to do so to answer our question they didn't do anything to deserve it some bosses just suck I worked as a manager at a pizza place employee was asked by shift manager to begin cleaning the make station he said he was above be working that he wouldn't do it obviously this made the shift manager and everyone else mad an argument followed and he said something along the line of I'll kill you all will be not only was he fired but he was reported to the police very eventful night honestly I liked be work nobody wants to do it so if I'm doing it everyone leaves me the heck alone I saw a busser get fired for leaving knives in a sink full of soapy murky water now if you've never worked back-of-house in a busy kitchen before you might think gee that really seems like an overreaction if you have on the other hand you'll likely understand why that's actually pretty reasonable ain't worked in a kitchen but my grandma's sink regularly ended up like that definitely a bad idea reasonable reaction for sure error 404 comment not found oh man I have one in 2010 I worked as a census enumerator for anyone who doesn't know how that works you basically take a test and a few months later you get your scores if you score high enough they'll offer you a position the job itself is pretty easy but does have some technical aspects in terms of data collection all in all it's not a bad gig it ended up paying like $20 hour which for a kid fresh out of college was not bad at all anyway they call us in for training which was like two days long and probably six hours day or something like that they teach you about how the census works demographic information logistical stuff etc it's pretty straightforward well one of the guys there was this weird dude long beard overweight nerdy but strangely confrontational basically like weirdo knack but after every example he would ask stranger and stranger questions hypotheticals that would never happen and basically could never be answered everyone started getting really annoyed because this guy was just getting freaking weird and also wasting a shitload of time for no reason anyway it got progressively worse until the moderator started clashing with him in front of everyone finally the neck bud guy admits that he's an anarchist and trying to take the system down from the inside out which apparently consisted of wasting a few hours of some poor [ __ ] schlubs time needless to say he was fired on the spot in front of everyone I was the manager of a pizza place while in college and had to fire one of my delivery drivers on the spot a lady came in with a grocery bag full of trash including many of our receipts told us that the delivery guy dumped it out from his car onto her lawn I comped her some things and told her I would take care of it I confronted the guy when he got back from his deliveries and asked him if it was true conversation went a little like this me hey man we had a lady coming with a bunch of trash and said you dumped it on her lawn is that true him yeah me was she a bee did she not tip you or something what happened him no my car was just dirty me say you just emptied all of your trash into her yard him shrug yet me dude what the Frick I can't even comprehend why you would think that was okay even if she didn't tip you the fact that you just did it cause your car was dirty is even more insane I can't have an employee with that little judgment hand me your money so I can count you out you're fired in high school I worked at Perkins first as a dishwasher then as a cook one night I was the only cook and the dishwasher was getting close to leaving I told him to finish the dishes currently waiting then he could go after he left I found several hours worth of silverware in the garbage covered with a light layer of food to hide it I called his house and told him not to come back I had no power but he really needed to be fired and it felt good to do it officially he was a no-show since I couldn't actually fire him the next night I told the assistant manager what had happened and what I did so he called in a replacement and everyone was happy I used to work at a store in the mall where the manager didn't bother coming in on some days other days she'd come in late well one day she was scheduled to open the store alone and I was scheduled two p.m. to close I get to the store at once since I wanted to get some new shoes and she hadn't bothered showing up to open the store I called the district manager and she asked me to open the store and told me that she's deal with the situation turns out manager had a medical condition and she'd been at the hospital that morning or so she claimed this went on for a few months and in that time I got an offer to work at the store directly next to my original store I took the job and a few weeks later as I'm coming into my new store I see my old district manager sitting on a bench outside the old store about an hour later I see the manager walking towards the store and when she sees a district manager she turns pale the district manager gets up asks for the managers keys gives her get final check and tells go home I had front-row seats it was magnificent I later got the full story from my former coworker turns out that manager did have a medical condition but she lied about hospital visits and was actually going through a rough divorce and was staying home to improve her marriage rather than working on the day the manager got fired the district manager called the store at opening time and the manager answered and said she was at the store the district manager had her doubts and decided to go and verify that she was actually there to no one's surprised she wasn't she had however setup the store's phone to forward calls to her cell the real kicker to this story is that the manager was the one that made the work schedule I was working at an Amazon warehouse when a clerk came up to me and asked his Melissa [ __ ] Melissa was our co-worker who seemed developmentally slow and she clearly annoyed him I laughed awkwardly at his question and immediately turned back to my work a short while later I saw the clerk roll his cart with a laptop on top of it towards Melissa on the screen was a picture of a kid with Down syndrome and the Clarke was saying are you [ __ ] this is you she reported him to our supervisor and he was fired on the spot I was 21 and a hostess at a fine-dining restaurant for some reason even though I was well versed via the seating chart and was careful to make sure it was fair two four and six tops equally spread out this girl had it out for me she came up to the hostess stand and bawled me out let me know that if I ever sat another kid or old person in her section she'd let me have it what I went to the GM and told him I'd quit it was either her or I he fired her on the spot she threw a full-on tantrum and called me every main in the book good freaking bye I was fired on the spot from and montana's I had the flu and was butchering everywhere when I said I couldn't continue washing dishes that I was a walking biohazard I was let go on the spot lack of work ethic or something I've written about this one on here before this was at the current company I work at about six years ago dude starts on a Monday and on Tuesday we have our department holiday party and the dude gets pretty lit up during a group photo for whatever reason this guy gets the brilliant idea to reach his arm around the woman standing next to him and grab and hanta boob we she loudly protested he claimed he was just joking in that she was not who he thought she was well who she was was the CMO of the company and despite his repeated protestations that it was all a joke he was promptly informed that he would have to leave the party immediately and to not bother coming back to the next day I will never forget that example of sheer drunken dump [ __ ] till the day I die what is a dirty little or big secret about an industry that you have worked in that people outside the industry really ought to know Starbucks corporate makes us have those recycling bins in the lobby to present this green image but most of the time all of the garbage ends up going to the dump anyway because the facility doesn't have recycling the only place I other work that actually sent crap to get recycled is when I had a temp job at a community college at stores that magical back room where you can just go and pick up anything is actually a huge mess where things go missing all the time if the system tells me I have one of something in stock there's a good chance I'm giving up looking after a couple minutes because I don't believe it's accurate almost everyone and the TV and film industry is winging it I know I have Netflix businesses offer rebates rather than cash discounts because they know the odds of you going to the trouble of mailing and a rebate coupon are minimal then they don't pay the first time because they know the odds of you complaining about it are infinitesimal but they usually will pay off if you complain they underestimate how stubborn I am half of Technical Support going on in the background of major platforms is convincing the developers to care about the issue enough to fix it also every platform that interacts in any way with Facebook hates Facebook but it's so fricking broken I work with kids at a daycare and we see babies take their first steps sometimes but we never tell the parents because we don't want them to feel bad about missing it my kid got potty-trained at preschool I don't care what the heck else happened there they potty-trained my kid the official policy for customer dissatisfaction at a particular Canadian coffee franchise I worked at was offer them free stuff until they stop complaining dude that's most Husum to service nowadays no one wants to spend the time or money dealing and paying accuse him to service rep to handle a merit customer just gets them to shut up and keep moving so they can serve more people the amount of toilet paper random items and bills used as bookmarks and a left in returned library books terrible and illegal things go on in every strip club owners only hire people for upper management who they have trusted for years because they all know this ah Queensland cost of a legitimate brothel license dollar sign dollar sign dollar sign dollar sign dollar sign dollar sign dollar sign plus regulations inspections and testing cost of a strip club license dollar sign dollar sign maybe the cops show up once a year yep you can see where this goes when renting a storage unit who do not need to get the insurance they offer even if they say it's mandatory it's illegal to force you to get insurance also the rent will increase yearly forever my homeowner's insurance actually covers storage units my agent told me that most policies do most subscription services will raise their prices over time because they expect you to just suck it up if this applies to phone bills cable packages internet service insurance plans call up politely complain about the price skip the canned well the price has gone up because inflation rising costs aged end of promotion and continue to politely say it's too much your budget can't handle all your outgoings and you may need to drop service either you are speaking to someone who can reduce the price or they can put you through to a personal thighs to reduce the price being polite is key to this though as you don't want to be stonewalled by a jaded agent or otherwise sent into a transfer loop to nowhere useful unable to afford the service found that cheaper deal with a competitor or questioning what you're really getting for the service works wonders demands declarations of long-term loyalty read exactly the reason the company can raise the price on you and disregard for those handling your call will serve to waste your time special bonus if at first you don't succeed call back tomorrow chances are you will get a different agent who may have a different approach there ain't a company of any great size where everyone in customer service will give exactly the same response and a sister it's edit as some have pointed out insurance with a capital I may not work out this way for you but insurance cover can why mnv funeral homes our businesses and funeral directors will absolutely take advantage of grieving people the most offensive to me are the cremation boxes that iterally just big cardboard boxes and should cost less than $100 but they also make really expensive boxes and directors will say things like grandma would be more comfortable in this no she won't because she's dead some of these boxes reach $1,000 and of course are all just burned I used car as price based on what it will sell for bit the margin is calculated by how deep they're into it so if a car was just traded in and they haven't detailed it or advertised it yet you can pay thousands less if you ask and so a car dealerships have reward systems based on numbers for the salesman and the dealer and management so if you are there at the end of the month you can sometimes get a screaming good deal because even at zero profit the sale bumps them up to a big bonus can confirm have this happen at a dealer timing was just dumb luck on our part but it was worth it mobile homes are cheaply made and mass-produced by people making 9 bucks an hour and don't give a crap if it's up to code or safe hundreds of people in a factory with little supervision and the main goal is to get as many made as possible with little care to protocol codes and far stopping I got hired as our HUD admin ended up doing inspections so we could stop getting fined by the fire marshal and the amount of crap that is overlooked and not cared about is infuriating ETA mobile homes as in manufactured homes single wides double wides act anywhere from $50 K up to $150 K at this particular factory it's hard for the employees to care when the plant manager doesn't the more that roll out the more money he makes his idea was to roll as men it out as possible take a huge bonus let the company's the fines when the fire marshal caught something they don't check every home and if you got a house with the furnace not fire stopped Oh other academics will steal your work for themselves and publish it under their name research assistant here today I caught the PhD student claimed a strain in our database one that I had constructed for a paper in which we share authorship I not only changed his name back to mine but told him I was doing so because I had made the strain this crap happens all the time The Cook's do all the drugs and always have the best drugs - in academia you create content for privately owned journals like science and nature but still you have to pay them all so scientists who reviewed journals articles for the peer-review process do it for free if you don't participate in this process you can't get papers and if you don't have papers you don't get funding and subsequently starve and die I don't know that this is a secret but flight attendants and pilots don't get paid while boarding deplaning and delays so when you're delayed and angry so are we we're not making money and still have to be there I worked at a game store a couple years ago and the lowest we could give for a trade-in was 10 cents as everyone knows when you trade a game in you're getting way less than you paid and way less than what it would be sold for well for the Nintendo Wii systems the way the pose was set up if someone came to trade in the system itself without and controllers or cables they would get 10 cents and not quite a secret but honestly it's worth just keeping your systems and playing with em again on five years when you miss the game I recently sold my xbox 360 after keeping it in my closet for quite awhile when I brought it into the store the cashier told me the amount I would get from it would be the same whether or not I had the console what they wanted was the power break the console itself had no value at a hospital the straight cash price discount for men in outpatient tests MRI CT x-ray ultrasound labs etc can often be cheaper than using insurance and dealing with deductibles co-pays coinsurance and on and on I've seen tests billed for thousands of dollars - insurance cost - paying patient less than $400 it's insane I'm just looking through the comments to find an employee of big glitter I just want to know daycare workers say rude things about your family usually just the parents and not the kids we also hear all your dirty secrets from your children I've heard about parents using handcuffs on each other and wrestling naked just this past week people always joke that most psychologists become psychologists because they are crazy I've worked in close proximity to a bunch of forensic Sykes for the last few years it is true you're not gonna lie the main reason I want to be a psychic is because I want to be the person I needed when all my mental illness is kicked in as a kid I make super expensive stuff that is bought by several governments and some high-end consumer product manufacturers one of the machines that every bit of product has to go through only works right if you stand there and poke at it with a stick we don't even have a special stick it's just a metal rod that fell off of another piece of equipment that we wrapped some tape around to make a handle we always make the new guy do it because it is super boring I once took a field trip to a nuclear reactor used for imaging with radiation and the reactor itself had a helium leak that was too expensive to fix so there's just leaking helium forever and they just replace a helium every so often that seemed pretty janky for alleged nuclear recter in a call center there are lines where management can listen to the customer while he/she is navigating the phone tree or waiting on hold it's used for quality control we hear every line of profanity racist sexist remark and muttered expletive also many live chat sessions allow the associate to see you typing in live time a lot of horrible things get typed out then redacted before pressing send engaging with customer service brings out the worst in people especially when they think it's in private is this question covered by the whistleblower Act asking for a friend number answering for a friend almost every register nurse has what is called a blacklist of doctors she or he would not want even remotely near them should they need emergency services people need to take better care and precaution often if they choose to accept as their doctor this is so true I can't think of three doctors that I don't like on a personal level and two on a professional credit companies will raise your interest rate for no reason and wait for you to call and complain to get it lowered check your statements and review all notices that come with your bill in the same vein Comcast will randomly up your bill by a tiny amount they expect people won't call and complain over seventy cents but if they do it till enough people then its millions of dollars hotels are held together by more super glue and duct tape than you know doesn't matter how nice they are unless you're talking about ultra rich type places the comforters in hotel rooms almost never get washed they are nasty comforters final roumanian who has worked for a US military contractor the DoD doesn't care about the price of the things the military is buying I once sold a bag of 240 hex nuts for $9,000 it's not a typo which I got for $25 the spending the DoD does is really as bad as you might have heard of the more they spent the better it is actually scary how much money they throw away I worked at a Dairy Queen when I was 16 and found roaches I got fired because I was too slow when I was cleaning when in reality I was actually scrubbing crap down because everyone else half a said it so that being said don't go to Dairy Queen in an auto shop what your mechanic tells you may not be in your best interest but instead what is most convenient and what is the least amount of work to do hospitals are not clean the only really clean place in the hospital is the operating room other than that the place is crawling with germs and whatever else has mutated on the floors and walls went to a nearby hospital for surgery and got fleas while I was there so no they don't clean very well audiobook narrators are woefully underpaid we are some of the only recording artists who do not receive royalties for our work and in fact our wages went down by about 66 percent when audible renegotiated the AFT are a contract ten years ago 66% the rates have been going up incremental e since then but narrators are still treated very poorly many office now record our own work in addition to being a narrator I am also the director engineer and researcher on nearly every book I work on but no credit is given to me other than Phil narration and I have to fight to get more money than I will get for just narrating a book in addition narrators are expected to promote the book saver accorded themselves despite the fact that we get no residuals in other words we don't get any of the revenue from the audiobook sales just a flat fee up front a while ago a very popular author wrote to me to congratulate me on the fact that the latest book of his that I'd narrated was the number one best-selling audio book on audible thanks I said but that means nothing to me because I don't get a dime from sells he was shocked narrating audiobooks is often difficult and usually tedious work that requires an exhausting amount of focus the industry continues to grow in leaps and bounds it is only fair that the co-creators of this work received their just due Wawa he takes employees pay for mistakes made I had a company-wide corrective a mail sent to me with a picture of the guy that messed up his team leader in the line manager a description of what they did wrong some security issue like sharing a password if I remember correctly as well as the fact that one month's pay has been taken from each of them if you call customer service and the representative does a great job and he want to compliment them please ask for a supervisor specifically if you say you want to make we're awarded for good service but don't explicitly say you want to talk to someone about it we can't direct you to doing so and when you talk to a supervisor for compliments it really does help improve customer service but those calls are more likely to be used for training new reps and complimented reps get raises - but everything is held together with duct tape and baling wire hermit crabs as pets is actually incredibly cruel because they rarely breed in captivity so they have to be taken from the wild then they get their natural shells broken away from them so that they will be forced to adopt colorful man-made shells and hopes kids find them more attractive not to mention the fact that they can live for thirty years when taken care of which is very rare but same is true for a lot of aquatic type animals like goldfish for some reason people don't view them as actual animals doctors spend so much time in a specific niche that they know jack crap about anything else same goes for programmers we often try to hide it some bars actually tasks bartenders with stock rates of 104 percent - 110 percent this basically means that with every pool that should be 25 milliliters - 50 milliliters they actually tell you - sunda pour on every drink to ensure were actually making back stock on every purchase this also means some bartenders are instructed to make more head-on beers by swirling the glass or intentionally holding it so more head is produced saving more stock by starting a job that told me this and quit the next day animator hair it's coming more and more to light lately but big animation studios and game companies treat their employees like crap and pay them barely anything and expects them to work hard because of the love for the job and they can get away with that because there are hundreds of thousands of other creatives who would be more than happy to deal with all of the BS just for a chance to work at a triple-a studio really it's not just animation though the entire entertainment industry is this way the clothes you find at an outlet more often than not are not cast offs or overages from the regular store there's a whole separate entity that designed and producers clothes at a lesser quality for outlet prices when working on a patentable idea and proposed construction I was told don't over engineer it you wanted to break some time so they'll have to get a replacement now you've me told him off saying I'd rather do that because it's supposed to help people I wonder how widespread his mindset was headed since this blew up it's for cosmetics and something that we'll have a new version produced pretty much every year ashore so it'll be improved on I simply just don't design things to fail if people prefer the original build then so be it I'm not going to force someone to use a new version if they don't have to everyone cheats on fuel economy and/or emission tests Volkswagen is just the latest to get caught by work in a Vetter if you check the resuscitate box on our form we will absolutely do our best to resuscitate your pet and I mean at least 15 minutes chest compressions intubating and manual breathing heat support and reviving drugs it's an all-hands-on-deck situation and we take it extremely seriously that being said I have never seen it do more than have a pet have a heartbeat and automatic breathing long enough for an owner to say goodbye I have never seen an animal recover basically you shouldn't check that resuscitate box it doesn't do anything but let us fight for your pets life and lose I'm a DNR myself I don't want to go through that and I don't want their staff to go through another unsuccessful attempt Walmart employees what's the worst thing you have seen inside your store somebody put bleach ammonia and Drano in the fish tanks another time somebody sprayed deer pee all over the toy section I am really glad I don't work there anymore there's not a single animal on this planet that I have more pity for than Walmart fish always stashed away in the cold dark smelly corner of the store with nobody in it probably gonna be bought by some M head for their poorly disciplined child and housed in a critter keeper with some gravel from their driveway in it where it will die a week later because the kids stopped caring bless em had a customer in a motorized scooter his personal one not store provided come up to me at the sporting goods desk and he asked me where the cans of compressed air are I walk him over to some and he thanks me grabs that can off the shelf and proceeded to start huffing it right in front of me when I worked in electronics at least customers had the decency to go to the bathroom before huffing so I used to stock the craft section on overnights I'm kinda an awkward person so no human contact was great for me this old guy on a scooter insisted upon sitting in my aisle for like hours just staring at the needles okay whatever I stopped everything I could but finally I needed him to move and honestly I was a little creeped out at this point I mentioned it to my manager on the way to lunch after lunch he was gone turns out he had died there like five hours ago this definitely qualifies his worst thing you've seen in a store I worked at Walmart for all of my teenage years and there was so much poop where it shouldn't be that's the most disgusting the worst would have been when some thieves attempted to run out the door followed closely by loss prevention turned around and sprayed them with mace which then wafted into the store a few seniors had to be taken to the hospital for respiratory issues everyone working in the store spent all day coughing as the mace lingered in the air because heaven forbid they shut the store down and think of anyone else's health when I worked at Walmart a weak world would go by without someone crapping on the ground somewhere in the store usually in the clothes section I actually did my sociology thesis on how the clothing r was most prone to tweak a related flaw defecation I worked at Walmart about 20 years ago being the manager of the photo lab before digital took over sir my department was right next to the electronics department I'm chatting with the manager of the electronics department and all of a sudden we hear a woman yell here it comes we then see a middle-aged woman frantically scuttling down the aisle holding her shorts near the back she ran to the restroom leaving a trail of liquid crap behind it looked like when a dog is sick and you're trying to get em out the door before they make a mess all over your carpet and they keep stopping to crap every few seconds an employee went in with a pair of pants off the shelf to help out she put em on and made a beeline toward the exit without paying for them leaving her soiled shorts in the stall on the floor ex-employee saw some crazy lady probably on some kind of drugs take out her tampon and throw it at someone cause they didn't like her tone crazy B just plucked it out and tossed him like a bloody hand grenade it's kinda crappy to bring up because it's sad and I'm not trying to make fun of the guy but it's like 4:00 a.m. and this man dressed in a suit and Fedora comes in no face I concluded some kind of cancer had ate away his face all he had left was eyes and a massive cancerous hole he just gurgled we had to have him write down what he needed it was sad but God dangit it scared the absolute crap out of me and I never really forgot not an employee but a very frequent Walmart shopper all the walnuts around me are pretty nice never seen anything nasty going on but there was an incident once that still sticks with me to this day when I was younger my mom had to grab meds at Walmart in the middle of a store it wasn't a bad storm or anything just very rainy with some thunder but it was supposed to continue for several days so of course the store was packed so we were in line at the in-store pharmacy and there was a man who was clearly mentally disabled with a helper in the front of the line of the man between us and them was this dude who in my young mind must have been a lawyer did not fit the stereotypical Walmart look at all wearing an expensive looking suit perfectly gelled hair literally carrying a briefcase he looked annoyed that he was there at all he intensely reminded me of Patrick Bateman just an air of disinterest and arrogance and who was brushing his coat off every time anyone walked too close to him everything's fine and the guy and his helper at the front of the line get their prescriptions and start to turn around just as they do there's a huge thunderclap and suddenly the power goes out in the store it's not pitch black built its darkest hair and immediately there's commotion in line I look up just in time to witness disabled man punch lawyer dude square in the face lights flicker come back on lawyer man is standing there holding his bloody nose looking like he's ready to murder someone disabled guys freaking out helper is profusely apologizing and trying to help lawyer guy lawyer guy waves him off with a glare walks to the front and calmly says his name plus info and throws down some money pharmacist hands in prescription which he snatches wordlessly in turns away brushing past me still holding his nose leaving a trail of blood on the linoleum floor I don't know why but the entire thing felt so surreal I still remember it like it just happened wildest thing I've ever seen in walnut I've only been working at a Walmart for two weeks I've had three people lose their temper on me one woman slam her cart into someone else's cut because she couldn't buy alcohol with an expired it and one guy tried to walk away with the whole cart of groceries in which a different customer walked after him and literally dragged him back inside again two weeks as a police officer Walmart pretty much keeps me employed my time to shine first job out of high school 2009 moved across country to be with my girlfriend end up working at a Walmart as a janitor overnight in the worst part of town in Tulsa admiral memorial for any locals this place had everything it could under lock - and a few people had died there so the workers nickname did kill Mart one night a guy is in the sporting-goods area and wants to buy something he takes his wallet out sets it on the counter for a second thief walks up and grabs it runs off the victim proceeds to grab a golf club chase the man down and violently beat him in an aisle blood broken neck I'm like 95% positive that guy died destroyed aisle everyone in the store flipped a bunch were calling people to view it in the CCTV room who my manager waved me down and asked me to clean up the aisle so the store would look nice for the morning you know the crime scene I locked out for lunch quit the next day hekia brother you get your wallet borrow crap reminds me of the video of that McDonald's cashier who snapped and whipped the ever living crap out of the dude with a metal rod for jumping the counter at him watched a high schooler stoned out of his mind trip over his own feet and slammed through a middle aisle display of those egg crate file holders of those suckers went everywhere also an old woman tracking diarrhea through the store trying to find the bathroom cause she crap herself first one freakin hilarious second one sad worst ever some people signed up for an oil change then through one of those household bug-bombed [ __ ] into their car while they waited when the technician went out to pull the car in it was full of white smoke from the insecticide and the interior was covered in thousands of roaches all trying to escape the fog we told them to leave worst this week guy signs up for an oil change and the technicians find to live captain under the hood of the minivan the owner came out to deal with it saying there were his other than the people freaking out and throwing crap and one junkie who continuously stole cans of compressed air for dusting computers to do weapons in the handicapped bathroom how that didn't kill him I still don't know one story stands out this elderly obese woman came in with her service dog a little chihuahua or something probably for anxiety gets one of the electric scooters puts the dog with its leash into the basket during the course of her shopping the leash goes through the grate of the basket onto the floor and gets run over by the wheels of the scooter the leash gets twisted up in the motor of the scooter eventually the leash gets yanked tight and begins to strangle the dog the dog uses what little air it has to panic but quickly falls silent the woman does nothing about this once she gets to the front of the store she decides to check on the dog strangled to death six inches in front of her she flips crap and screams at every employee she can find telling them to do something save her dog I guess she didn't know it was dead it was their fault bla bla the dog had been for almost 20 minutes before she decided to check on it peon crap all over the inside of the cart that she didn't manage to notice or smell for 20 frickin minutes I no longer work at Walmart I unfortunately have no idea whether she suit or not or what really came of it afterwards my mom worked at Walmart for about a year she actually liked it as she was more active but she decided to quit after the jewelry department manager had a meltdown and started throwing jewelry at customers one old lady got pelted in the head with a heavy ring box and it was over turns out the manager was selling the jewelry to friends and family but would keep the boxes and stuff them with rocks and trash so inventory would stay the same she had the meltdown before she was caught they had to drag her out of the store that day once while I was restocking shelves there was the kid pee into a open cereal box mine actually happened yesterday I was walking back to my area and saw one of my co-workers in front of a puddle she said walk around I responded I don't want to know her immediate response was it is urine I lowered and shook my head and walked by let's see I've seen people tripping balls I've seen a guy walking on ten feet stilts a guy with his dong out a lady pull her pants down to adjust her panties a guy pass out from huffing an aerosol can a chick passed out on the ground low blood sugar a car catch on fire an employee died in his car in a parking lot old and lots of fights I am sure there's more but I can't remember no I personally didn't see some of these but I'm friends with employees there's nothing to do in this town so when something happens I hear the stories a few times an employee died in his car in a parking lot old I've heard of some awful ways to go but that has to be the saddest I can't think of anything worse than sitting in the Walmart parking lot and my last thoughts are dreading having to go back in there someone throwing their used children diaper on top of the freshly baked cookies I just put out : had to throw out 700 cookies oh that's nasty I've been working at Walmart for two and a half years and I've seen it all the worst thing I've seen was a man who was checking out in the self-checkout all was good until this smell whipped by I didn't think much of it and figured the guy had farted he proceeded to shake his left leg until a large slimy turd came out his pants he took his receipt and left needless to say I did not pick that up and cooled maintenance over I can only imagine the feeling of a warm turd sliding down my leg my roommate worked at Walmart for years the worst story she told me was when some lady confused the fitting rooms for a restroom and she took a big dump in one of the stools right on the floor at some point during the Deedle just after she realized what she done and tried to clean it up but all she could find was a paper towel roll just the roll no paper towels so she stuck the role in her pile of crap like a flagpole and went about her day I worked as a photo lab specialist for two years and saw some really awful pics the worst was a toddler surrounded by her buds and gums we had to get the on-duty cop involved when the guy came back to pick them up I worked customer service at Walmart for a little bit and one night just as I was closing customer service down a man came in screaming for help he was wearing a white shirt but it was drenched red than some areas he said he was shot twice and he thought he was gonna die he lifted up his shirt to show us he wasn't just some druggie and really needed help lo and behold there were two holes bleeding around this man's torso lucky for him an off-duty paramedic was in line buying groceries and called it in fast for the ambulance just started a month ago but I've already seen one crap covered stolen the man attempting to take a bath in the bathroom to clean himself - I heard his father say to his daughter I will slap the crap out of you in this store and I don't care who sees three and finally a bag of crap it wasn't a lot so I'm gonna assume the kids crap hidden behind Legos I was an overnight manager at the time the store is located in the shitty stereo of a major city at a 24-hour store but at around 2:00 a.m. the overnight Loss Prevention associate had just caught a guy shoplifting on the cameras and I had been called up to help him things go smoothly the guy had stolen less the $50 worth of stuff and complied so it went pretty easy after letting the shoplifter go the loss prevention associate had some paperwork to do so I jumped on the cameras to see what's going on in the store I soon find a shady looking individual lurking around the electronics department he's clearly making sure no one is in the vicinity watching him he sneaks into an aisle and grabs an all-in-one MA night a desktop combo wrapped in spider wrap I still don't know why $1,000 plus computer wasn't locked behind a cage he quickly takes it to a different I'll easily works the spider wrap off the box takes the computer out and shoves it into his suite bunks slinking over into the clothing racks in apparel he hides the computer in some pants and sneaks around for the next 15 to 30 minutes trying to watch the employees up front by the registers at this time of night only our cigarette aisle is open all of a sudden while watching a blonde lady in our only open register line and crouched behind the rack off shirts he pulls out his dong and starts wanking it then he wiped himself clean on a shirt that was hanging in front of him at this point we know we don't want to deal with him at all so we call the cops well as soon as he finished cleaning off he heads back to where he hid the computer puts it back in his pants and starts to head our way we realized he was going to get to us before the cops so as soon as he passes out last point of sale we head out of the monitoring room and confront him it is here that I should mention that we are supposed to be a hands off store as in if we confront a shoplifter were supposed to stop them with words but at this location in the middle of the night everybody's a runner obviously this guy decides to run we tackle him and pin him to the ground luckily soon after the police show up and we let them handle him from there after seeing him blankly definitely becomes hands off not Walmart but Lowe's someone had a mobile meth lab set up in lawn and garden not an employee but I'm damn glad I wasn't for this one one fateful afternoon my bladder decided that it needed relief so I ducked into the restroom while I was in my local Walmart the two urinals were out of order which left the handicapped accessible stool in the regular stool someone was in the regular stool so I opened the door to the handicapped stall and saw what I can only describe as the aftermath of a crap explosion there was chocolate pudding consistency crap on the floor the seat of the toilet the wall behind the toilet on the toilet paper dispenser everywhere it looked like someone had stood with their pants down bent over and starting spinning while letting forth like some sort of scatological lawn irrigation fountain my bladder would have to wait as I gently made my way out of the restroom making a mental note to burn the shoes I was wearing that day I saw the kindly looking older man in a yellow vest pushing a cleaning cart towards the entrance to that hellhole of vile human excrement and villainy I'm not a religious man but I offered up whatever good vibes I could muster for that man's surely soon to be crushed so that day not an employee but off-duty police officer to homeless people dug out a hole into the paper towel section and were living in it they finally found them when someone complained about two people making love in the toilet paper aisle also had a homeless person take a homeless alcoholic crap in the bike aisle those employees do not get paid enough it's been years now since I worked there but this is something I will never forget I worked in the photo lab which was right next door to electronics there was a man and a child the child being maybe eight looking at video games I kept hearing the child say he had to go to the bathroom but his father wouldn't take him or let him go alone long story short the boy obviously couldn't hold it any longer and crapped his pants the father then told the son to shake it out the kid did just that and tons of turds fell out of his shorts onto the floor the smell was atrocious and I honestly could not believe what I was witnessing the rather than walked over to my coworker and said yeah you better clean this up and promptly left I was stunned I worked at a Walmart for one summer during college I was occur to see associate according to my nametag but I preferred the title of cart Wrangler my job was to recover shopping carts help customers get big stuff into their cars trucks and keep the parking lot clean as a result I had a particular disdain for a class of customers I referred to as oil changes they'd run into the store to buy some automotive products like engine oil a windshield washer fluid you said project on their vehicle in the lot and then leave a mess on their way out my most memorable was a group of kids in their late teens early twenties like myself at the time busted up little 4 bang a sedan I think it had no interior panels they bought a trunk mounted subwoofer box installed it in the lot and left the empty cardboard box for me to clean up yes it was a minor annoyance but when there are one or two garbage cans in between each and every Lane on the lot and you can't be bothered to use one I think my annoyance was justified a woman who really had to take a crap sprayed it all over the walls no maintenance was there I had to clean it two really obnoxious xenophobic buttholes were walking around the store obviously drunk or on drugs casually calling any black person they saw the n-word not sure what ended up happening to them but pretty sure they got kicked out by asset protection that's it I'm never going into a Walmart ever again there must be some kind of force field or aura that gives people unstoppable diarrhea my best friend Rumi worked Walmart and technically died there after having an aneurysm the worst story was about the Hamburglar a person persons who would put a packaging of raw hamburger in their cart and then change their mind and leave a hamburger in some random spot sometimes it would be a couple of days before the hamburglar's deed was uncovered it was so bad that almost every employee started inspecting their area of responsibility and pretty soon the hamburglar's foul deed were being discovered very quickly because no one wanted to deal with a leaky maggot mess then the assistant manager got caught leaving a package of hamburger in the shoe department the walnuts around here must be classy I only ever hear crying babies or the occasional hushed argument not even so much as an exposed butt crack didn't work at Walmart but once I saw an entire family man woman and son there who all had mullets I thought that was pretty special people who have signed NDA's that have now expired or for whatever reason are no longer valid what couldn't you tell us but now can house hunters guests checking in I never made the show because I didn't close on the house 1 I had to have a house under contract before going on the show to they would select the other houses we were interested in 3 I was assigned another so who was more interesting than my actual so dang how did your so feel about that that someone was making a wristwatch with two faces so you could set one to local time and one to the time you're from for international travelers my boss almost immediately broke it and had to pay I was a model for a few big-name well-known makeup companies I did several print ads for magazines and a few television commercials the makeup artists do use a predict advertised but minimally like that mascara they're touting it's over really good fake eyelashes and they also used another brand of mascara along with the one they're trying to sell you also the clothes in the ads you see are pin to high heaven on the model they fit nothing like they look it's not you it's not your body it's fake advertising most of us models look just like you wearing that crap without all the pins and tucks and double-sided tape ugh thank you for this every time I've seen an ad for crappy mascara I've used before and thought there's no way they're using that mascara in this fricking ad have been vindicated did some work on the trailing floor at Goldman Sachs I had access to all trading accounts and transactions came across some shady looking accounts which did not meet policy it did not use clearly identifiable name and I could not find towards of creation or testing for it etc I asked my supervisor if I should look into this he turned to me and said we don't ask about those accounts just ignore them orders from the top trading account creation is a long and detailed process that requires formal approval from multiple lines of management these accounts circumvented all that and were basically anonymous with no trace they were also trading high-volume and I was told to accept and ignore them I feel like the SEC should have been told about this a friend of mine got a job at a prominent local distillery that makes an extremely popular flavored whiskey they literally buy whiskey from a third party distillery and dumped or any flavoring syrup into it one of my friends brothers was on the MTV showroom rattlers everything in the show is staged all of the items that they would find were planted at the end of the show the prize was not a date with the girl that he picked he just got her phone number saw the new Ferrari hybrid tech buy employee error and couldn't speak or mention it until today as they launched a new hybrid model I can now tell you that Ferrari intends to have a car with three hybrid motors and that's pretty much it Amazon made me sign one when I worked with a company that painted their airplanes before the public knew they had them I did the FAA paperwork I was literally only one of like seven people to see their airplane fully purple with their logo on it I was actually taken off for the project for a day because they thought I lied about not having a facebook they meant business Apple 100% replaced the iPhone for four users because of the crappy antenna we were instructed to dodge deflect and deny this was the issue cellphone providers were crap the phone was a fluke it didn't matter don't admit fault but if they were there for reception versus water damage buttons or battery life you had to make sure you were swapping them with vanilla batch iPhone 4 swaps rather than the typical batch swaps it was a recall without being a recall but only if you had reception issues son of a B I knew it I signed an NDA once when I was an extra mortal engines if you watch the movie you'll learn more than I did one set I watched the movie understood nothing so not me but a guy I know was on Cash Cab a lot of it was faked he was told he would be on a travel food show and would get picked up by a fake taxi at a certain location at a certain time there were camera crews all over outside the taxi and there's no way on earth you might mistake it for a real cab I always assumed that the contestants knew they were going to be on Cash Cab and they're surprised reactions were all faked if this is true it's actually a pleasant surprise previous pharmacy chain I worked for always at risk of robbery for opiates and we are always taught to give the robber what they want with no questions asked have heard of times that pharmacists instead gave bottles of oxy with tylenol in it instead and other things that were at least and dangerous due to possible retaliation when and if they figure out they have been duped new policy and NDA comes out where specific opiates were placed in safe with GPS tracker and charger so when it is removed from radius of origin it issues remote notification to third party that tracks location and works with local Leo to find the wanted party I worked for a native casino the golf courses lost a ton of money for us as did the advertising for the courses food we generally broke even on because of all the comps if the crime was committed by a dealer they would watch the dealer for three months to see if there were accomplices they used facial recognition and would pair match you so if the same person sat with the same dealer over and over they would know this way they could look for accomplices then when they busted you they would sit you down and make you watch a video of you breaking the law they did this because they wanted you to plead guilty as opposed to an expensive trial anyone in the golf industry could tell you the first part is absolutely true even though the Golf Course increases the value of everything else nearby such a weird duality I had to sign an NDA because I was part of a test screening for The Dark Tower with Idris Alba were tried to tell them it sucked they didn't want to listen we used an extract to flavor our peanut butter Porter God it feels good to get that off my chest I signed an NDA to waitress at a local family-owned restaurant the owner was notes definitely had a severe personality disorder and was worried about his recipes getting leaked the restaurant is dead now and his secret recipe is consisted almost solely of frozen packaged food signed an NDA when I worked as a fit model for Katy Perry's shoe line basically a fit model is used for their good proportions to test out the fit of garments I'm a solid size 7.5 so hooray for being average I was hired on two occasions and got to hang out and give her my opinion on the fit feeling and comfort of different shoes didn't think she'd actually be there but both times she was present and totally running the show super nice woman in person and remembered me when we met again also she apologized for making me wait so long which I thought was nice it was a late night meeting as she'd just wrapped shooting a music video her dog is really cute too and I got to save it when it got stuck behind a wall panel I know someone who edited one of Katy Perry's music videos and they said she was really put together easy to work with and reasonable whereas the record label execs were a pain in the butt DND 5e had a kick-ass online character builder that made character creation a breeze it listed all of the possible skills e.t.c per race and class that was intuitive and made theory crafting for characters easy personal conjecture they candid because it took away from the pen and paper aspect of the game and they were afraid with an online to letter to take away from book sales there are still some pretty amazing fan made ones out there worked for a short time as a QA tester at EA and wasn't allowed to talk about the gamer I was testing the console port for the sims 4 there wasn't really much to talk about but since the first few versions were basically just running the PC version on a console there were a lot of bugs with one of the worst was a lighting bug we started referring to as disco mode since it caused a bunch of multicolored squares to show up on everything it's night or in dark areas in 1990 I signed an NDA at Chili's when they showed me how to make their new was--and blossom no other restaurant in town had anything like it and it was hugely popular at the time worked at a matchmaking company it's all bs it's just throwing darts at a wall until something sticks there's no signs or magic twiddle tall what we did was get a paid client and set him up on dates the dates we found were from a pool of women and we would just keep picking one after another I quit because I felt like the women were just being used and I became uncomfortable profiting off of people's hopes they very much play up on finding you true love and it's a process bla bla they'll very much play up the fairytale romance it did change me I don't really date anymore because I don't trust the true intentions of people anymore I became very jaded to dating after all of that I thought you meant a company that makes literal matches and was confused figured that recipe would have been locked down long ago Kraft macaroni and cheese are coming out with a more modern and upscale version to expand their market from lower-income folks to higher income folks it is almost entirely the same product as the 69 cent blue box they will have a lighter less orange color they will be sold as shells and not macaroni the box will be shaped differently and it will go from 2 dollars and 50 cents or more stated to be released by 1995 maybe I'm lower-class but I like it when it's more orange a certain global conferencing company still saves passwords for their web products and plaintext penny and I mean any employee that works there can see the password my password there was not my pass you idiot because I know other people would see it eventually and they'd even comment laugh about it also we once discovered that our main conferencing software was letting you sign in regardless of the password you entered meaning you could sign in with any email address once we brought it up we first were immediately Stonewall and told not to say anything about it in written format TLDR they had the dev team and legal on a conference call and they decided it was best to just keep it quiet until they fixed it later that day no client was to be notified of the issue and the ones that knew of it were basically given a rune around until they gave up they also added call spoofing to the software they called it something fancier but it was called spoofing you could make a call and make it appear from any number you wanted my team raised this concern many times they were counted with no one will actually use it for that okay that place was a gold mine of security risks good ol a goto meeting there is going to be a capri-sun sports flavor in roughly 2003 I was a taste tester for Kraft Foods when I was 10 we didn't sign an NDA but it was supposed to be a secret they expected you to share it with all your friends to generate grassroots hype you failed them Sony got hacked over that North Korea movie because of a 5-year old account they didn't delete or monitor from an ex-employee mini-cooper BMW replaced our car because the high pressure fuel pump failed six times within six months however the recorded reason for the replacement of the car was because of stained interior from dirty mechanic hands so it wasn't replaced via the lemon law the government in 1972 identified a terrorist by his wife's breasts from satellite images by God that woman deserves to know that her breasts are so big they can be seen from space I was a translator contractor for the US military I also translated Marvel comic books Marvel had tighter security this does not surprise me I've worked in aerospace on military contracts most of my professional career the most restrictive NDA I've had to sign was for a candy bagging machine for a candy company Google doesn't hire direct support employees they open small projects in the US hire up to 250 contract employees of varying supports positions for the project once they get the stats needed to run everything efficiently they have mass layoffs and outsource their jobs to a country Philippines India that's willing to accept much less than the US counterpart at the same time Google rakes in a huge tax cut because they're creating jobs in the local communities when I was a kid I visited the dentist for a cavity while there the dentist slipped while drilling my tooth and drilled a hole under my tongue my mom saw me tense up and my dentist said Oh Nick so they're a bit so you might see a little blood I got home and after an hour my entire net was swollen up like a frog and my voice was squeaky because of the air pressure a pocket of air was pressing against my heart dirty air at that because of the bacteria in my mouth I was admitted to the hospital as a code 4 with a code 5 being dead when my mom tried to see the dentist for damages he claimed I was kicking and screaming and out-of-control during the apt even getting his secretary to vouch for him and testify total BS I liked the dentist and I was a people pleaser also laughing gasps my mom's lawyer was super pessimistic and told her just to settle and sign an NDA because she had a small chance of winning sir my mom settled being not even scared to take on an office full of liars she could never disclose who the dentist was and we've heard other horror stories throughout the years about this dentist effing up other people's mouths it sucks because every lawyer we've talked to after the fact says we had a very strong case and it's likely we would have won like really won I'm pretty sure the company is bankrupt now since it's been almost 15 years and the product hasn't seen the light of day I was interviewing with the company that was working on a new design for a public toilet that was going to change everything it consisted of the following one a pair of toilets back-to-back one would rotate up into the wall where it would be thoroughly cleaned and then rotated back down so the other recently you toilet could be swung up into the wall for its turn in the washer to the toilets wouldn't have the traditional water pool it would instead have a conveyor belt that would carry the poo and whatever else back to an open pipe clog-free I quickly saw that this product was going nowhere so I declined to work for them but sent them a two or three page email about the pitfalls of the design one what happens when the auto swapping toilet machine accidentally activates while someone is on the loo - how much more expensive will this be than a regular porcelain Jean 3 how hard will it be to retrofit all of the machinery and plumbing for the auto wash into existing architecture 4 how do you intend on cleaning a conveyor belt that has been exposed to human waste plus whatever other trash that gets put down onto the unit 5 what will an open vent to the sewer smell like if you don't have the water separation like you do with a regular toilet I'm not really sure if what I saw was declassified or expired so I can't give specifics I participated in arming and training some militia groups in Iraq to fight Isis that had highly questionable motives a very little vetting done on them I'm pretty sure that if we didn't need the cannon fodder for the siege of Mosul that we would probably be bombing and drone striking some of the groups that we were busy passing out guns to also I once had a my IDI dog alert on a truck that had a highly concerning amount of brain matter in on it I mean yeah any amount would be suspect but there was like five or six people's worth of brains there I've seen head pops and know how much brains get around and there was a lot more than that present we had dragged him from the vehicle and were preparing to conduct a more thorough search we were ordered via radio to stand down and let the guy who was eerily cheerful about driving a truck classed it from bed to hood and human brain matter continue on his way he gave me a pack of smokes smiled and said he took no offense to our search and understood how troubling the situation must appear that he felt that we were welcome guests in his country and that he hoped we had a nice day then drove off no freaking clue WTF that was about I used to work for a company in the Middle East that provided relocation services to people in America we represented three main companies under nine different names which changed every so often when the reviews got really bad we had receptionists whose main tasks aside from damage control was to write a few extremely positive reviews for each company every single day in order to counter all the negative ones I worked in sales our job was to catalogue everything our clients wanted to move and then provide the best possible price while lying through our teeth about the service itself we promised professional movers who had all the necessary training and tools for the job great prices quick deliveries you name it on moving day the movers who showed up were often in unmarked trucks or ones with completely different names and branding on them the workers were often immigrants who were paid under the table and had no experience whatsoever the deliveries themselves often took a long time and items were often lost as multiple moves would be stacked into one truck without much labeling of items or categorizing in general as mentioned earlier we changed company names fairly often as the negative reviews and bad press stacked up moving as a toxic business and people will always try to undermine and cheat this is something you should never cheap out on as the money is well worth the comfort of knowing your move is in good hands if you are moving I recommend finding a company that is local if possible so that you can meet the people who represent it and see that their business is legitimate more importantly they will be able to send someone to survey your belongings and give a more realistic quote and time estimate even if it costs much more than the quotes you receive online or from salesmen it is well worth the peace of mind on an already stressful venture lots of missile launches around DC literally dozens you have been visited by the cash chihuahua like this video and you will be blessed with the greatest fortune if you are new to the channel
