PEOPLE REVEAL THE MOST AWFUL THINGS THEY'VE DONE AT WORK

[ReedeFox]

Anyone who has been in employment for a reasonable amount of time will have no doubt come across someone who is so shit at their job that they should have been sacked. Amazingly, it's seems the more useless and fucktarded you are, the more chance you have of keeping your job. The mind boggles.
A recent thread popped up on Reddit where user Hakebc asked people the question 'what's the most fireable thing someone has done but kept their job?' and the Reddit community didn't disappoint.

Chef used to shoot up in the disabled toilets. Regularly stole alcohol from the bar. Had the restaurant closed for a police raid and all staff searched. Manager decided it was easier to wait for him to go to jail. Best chef there and only one that spoke English.
Still not in jail.

 

I worked in a call center where a co-worker got caught, not once but twice, for masturbating at his desk when speaking with female customers.
HR spoke with him about it, everyone knew what he had done but they just kept him on regardless.

A teacher I had in secondary school decided not to come to class and instead go smoke weed behind the school. He was caught by the vice principal, sent to class high as a kite, and preceded to tell the class he's most likely getting fired, it's our fault and we're all a bunch of cunts. He didn't get fired, somehow.

Guy comes into the office on a Saturday (office is empty). Makes a point of wearing a hoodie and baseball hat so he won't be recognized on camera. Digs around someone's desk until he finds a key to a secured computer room. Enters room and steals computer.

Was caught and asked to apologise. I was dumbfounded that he wasn't fired until I learned he was personally hired by the CEO many years ago.

Customer comes into shipping service fifteen minutes before closing. Customer spills a fair amount of liquid mercury in the lobby. Supervisor sees spill and leaves it, closing the shop up on time. Supervisor tells no one. Morning custodian attempts to mop up the liquid mercury, making an even bigger mess.
HazMat team is called, they clean the building, take several pair of shoes, and charge us something like 40K. Nothing is done to supervisor.

I am a nurse. A new nurse (had probably been working about 6 months) had a patient that was diagnosed with Tuberculosis. Having a TB patient is a pain because you need to get all suited up and put a respirator mask on before going in their room. She avoided going in the room unless absolutely necessary (like many nurses in that situation do). This patient was on a telemetry monitor (to monitor heart rhythm, we could see it on the monitors at the nurses station). He also had a habit of taking off his oxygen and desatting (his oxygen saturation in his blood would get too low without supplemental oxygen), which would make him confused.


We could usually tell when this was happening because the telemetry would alarm that his heart rate was very high, then we would go into his room, put the oxygen on and all was well.
I guess she was busy and not paying attention and he managed to take the oxygen off along with his telemetry leads. The monitor was alarming that his leads were off and she simply silenced it and went about her business. The leads were off for at least an hour before anyone checked on him. A nurses aide went in to check his vital signs and found him nude laying on the floor and very dead. She yelled for the nurse to come over and she just stood there staring at him not knowing what to do. She told the aide to handle it and walked around the unit looking for another nurse to ask what to do, instead of initiating CPR and calling a code. The aide tried CPR but he was pretty dead by then (already felt cold).
The nurse for some reason got to go home early with sick pay because she was distraught, did not get fired or even a written warning. It was as if she did nothing wrong. Boggled my mind... She literally killed someone with neglect and got away with it

I worked at a Denny's restaurant years ago. We had an HIV + employee. He once cut is thumb with a knife and stuck his entire hand directly into the commercial ice machine in the kitchen. I was absolutely horrified at what had just happened, and immediately told my manager. The ice machine had to be emptied and professionally sanitized. The ice contaminator never lost his job, never even really got talked to about what happened. HIV or not, what he did was awful. Never have I seen something so unsanitary at any job I've had to date.

Where is the fucking justice?!
