“People Die In Hotels”: 50 Sobering Secrets About Businesses, Shared By Ex-Workers
Interview With Expert
When employees walk out of the building for the last time, they often carry a lot more than a cardboard box with their belongings and goodbye cards. Many are also armed with intimate knowledge of the company's workings, and are sometimes even privy to a few dirty, little secrets.
Despite some having signed contracts preventing them from disclosing what goes on behind closed office doors, more and more people are speaking out about their former workplaces. Social media has become a digital confessional booth, and netizens are not holding back. From gross revelations out of the kitchens of popular restaurants, to serious allegations of trafficking, the internet is awash with spilled secrets that were once well hidden by corporate executives.
Someone recently asked, "What’s a company secret you can share now that you don’t work there anymore?" And the responses might surprise you. Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the most eyebrow-raising ones. Do you have tea on your former employer? Let us know in the comments below... Don't miss the interesting chat we had with Resume Genius' career expert, Eva Chan. She unpacked Non-Disclosure Agreements and shared her advice on when it's okay to talk about your former company and when it's best to rather keep quiet. You'll find that information between the images.

I work in public service. I don't know if I'd call it a dirty secret, but when the government started stocking men's rooms with free pads/tampons we all agreed to turn a blind eye to the one trans dude taking them all regularly and dropping them off at the local homeless shelter. He's the only one affected, and he's keeping homeless women well-supplied on the government's dime.
If you've ever held down a job, you might be familiar with what's known as a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). They're also sometimes called confidentiality agreements (CAs), confidential disclosure agreements (CDAs), and proprietary information agreements (PIAs).
Either way, they're legally binding contracts that prevent someone from sharing certain types of information. Often, the agreement deals with intellectual property, client data, trade secrets, internal practices, compensation details, or HR complaints.
Non-disclosure agreements, or NDAs, are like the corporate version of “what happens here, stays here." Resume Genius' career expert Eva Chan tells Bored Panda during our interview. "They set clear boundaries for employees about what can and can’t be shared outside the company," Chan says.

I used to work for a company that run check on medicine secondary effects.
And buckle up for the big secret.
The truth is... Homeopathy does not have any known secondary effect.
Because it doesn't have a f*****g primary effect.
Chan says an employee can choose not to sign an NDA, but the company can also choose not to hire them.
"In many jobs, especially those with access to confidential information, signing an NDA is a requirement," she explained. "If you refuse, you could lose a job offer or even your current position. There’s no law that forces you to sign, but there’s also no law that forces a company to keep you around if you don’t."

I once worked for a polling company, the kind that runs surveys for elections and marketing purposes. I learned that numbers can be made to prove anything remotely plausible and to not trust election polls when they are too tight.

Here in the US I think those of us paying attention learned this a long time ago.
In recent years, NDAs have come under scrutiny and even been challenged in court. "They prevented many people who settled #MeToo claims from discussing their situations, which some argue suppressed necessary information that could bring impermissible behavior to light," notes Thompson Reuters.
"This situation has led to stricter scrutiny of non-disclosure agreements, making it all the more critical that they are drafted with great specificity and used judiciously."
In 2022, the U.S. Congress passed the Speak Out Act, which prohibits NDAs from blocking employees from discussing certain acts of misconduct in the workplace.

Health insurance companies will deliberately and intermittently slow down or completely stop claims processing to hang onto their money longer.
They also have days where they reject en masse across the board because it allows them to not pay out for an additional 30 days or maybe never pay if the claim is not resubmitted.
True stories.

A shocking number of retail stores force new employees to watch anti-union propaganda videos during orientation.
Also, to whom it may concern, products that claim to be made in the USA are actually just *assembled* in the USA. The parts are still manufactured elsewhere.

A s**tload of auto parts are made on the same line and are the same thing. If you are looking at three different brands of say brake pads and there’s not a difference in materials (say one is ceramic) it’s very possible they are all the same thing and came from the same factory. I worked for a company that made the parts going on the new car, the official replacement parts from the manufacturer, and more than four different aftermarket brands and they all came off the same line.

For a few items, there are only a few viable suppliers worldwide because the tech is complex, the tooling and machinery is ridiculously expensive, and required scale economy can be achieved only by supplying a significant share of the market. Bosch and ZF are the leaders for braking systems; Pirelli, Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear have over 95% of the share for automotive tires. Electronic is basically Denso, Sumitomo or Hitachi. The vast majority of airbags are made by Takata, Autoliv and Toyoda
NDAs tend to act as a psychological tool to dissuade employees from speaking out and they are effective at achieving that goal, notes Integrity Online. But the legal documents don't always stop people from spilling the beans. If you're planning to do so, experts advise that you proceed with caution...
Speaking out after signing an NDA can lead to serious consequences, warns Chan. "Employees who break an NDA risk being sued for breach of contract. That can lead to financial penalties, legal fees, or even an injunction to stop further disclosure. Even if a company never files a lawsuit, the threat alone can be intimidating and costly to deal with," explains the expert.
"Even if a lawsuit doesn’t happen, a company might send a cease-and-desist letter or use other legal pressure to silence the employee. Breaking an NDA can also damage a person’s professional reputation and make it harder to find future work in the same industry."

As a long-time probation officer, one thing that surprises people is how many **unusual**, "creative" sentences we have to enforce. Most people think such sentences are banned by the 8th amendment but that's...not really how that works. For one, most of the time the offender takes the plea deal for the unorthodox sentence willingly to avoid prison, so they never appeal on 8th amendment grounds anyways since that would just result in re-sentencing and going to prison.
Occasionally such sentences make the news, but many don't.
The most notable one I worked was in 2016, which did make the news, when a woman was being sentenced for a serious case of animal neglect. The judge gave her a choice - incarceration, or spending a day sitting in the "stinkiest, smelliest part of the county dump" to see how it feels to live in filth.
She chose the latter. We had to contact the dump and say "hey, judge's orders - help us find the absolutely most revolting place here." They didn't believe us until we showed them the paperwork.
I took it seriously and found the nastiest place there for her. By the end...I think she was wishing she'd taken the jail time.
Chan tells us that companies are more likely to take legal action if the leak involves damaging information, like exposing trade secrets or leaking financial or customer data. "But if the person is speaking out about bad leadership, a toxic work culture, or unfair treatment, many companies likely won’t retaliate," she says.
"For example, if you’re calling out a toxic manager or sharing your exit story on TikTok, a company might back off to avoid more negative press. Legal action is expensive and time-consuming, so many employers weigh the cost, the risk of bad press, and whether the leak truly harmed the business before taking that step."

Macy’s employees have a code of the day, SOMETIMES, where they can choose to give you a little further discount if you’re nice to them and not a total a*s.
I used to work there, and before that, I couldn’t figure out why they kept selling me stuff at a higher discount than advertised.
But I’ve worked retail and waitressed a lot, and I’m always friendly with clerks/waitresses, etc. cause it is a freakin hard job. It’s not the tasks that are so hard; as much as the long hours on your feet, and customers being very mean sometimes.

[Note: United States centric] Some d**g companies that make lifesaving medications know that your choice is to pay them or die. And they price their d***s accordingly. It's not about the years of research or the investment in production facilities—in most cases 80–95% of the research was done via government grants (thanks NIH!, we'll miss ya!) and production facilities are usually in low-cost countries. It's all about people being willing to pay anything to not die screaming.

I'm taking a new drug to treat my leukemia. It's 4 capsules daily for 24 months. It retails for $16,000 per month. That's close to $400,000 for the full 24-month treatment.

$16,000 a month is a disgusting price to charge someone for a life saving d**g. There’s no way it costs any where near this month. We all know it’s pure greed. How is this allowed?
"While NDAs are not typically binding when it comes to reporting criminal activity or information in the public interest, employees are nevertheless advised to consult a legal professional before speaking out," reads the Integrity site.
"This could take the form of a lawyer or legal firm specialized in whistleblowing who can thoroughly analyze and evaluate the NDA, as well as any aspects of the agreement that could prove problematic in court."

We're shipping dangerously corrosive chemicals across the country in tanks that have repeatedly failed safety inspections.
Very few get pulled over, so it's cheaper for the company to pay the fines instead of repairing the tanks or buying brand new ones. And with all the slashes to funding, firings, and relaxation of environmental regulations, it's getting even easier to do so.
#11
I work in a manufacturing-related industry. We tout how much effort we're putting into making our consumer products "eco-friendly" and "green"- which really does have an impact - but the amount of waste our day-to-day operations generate is staggering. When I was working from home during Covid, receiving samples and contracts and other documents to review and sign, I was filling up 4-5 big trash bags PER WEEK with all the plastic shippers and Styrofoam padding that came along with those. Imagine that x100 people doing similar work across the org.
Now that we're back in office, we have to have trash collection come by multiple times a day. And this doesn't even touch on how many next-day international air shipments we send back and forth, how many pieces the factories scrap due to small defects, and how many unsold products go straight to the landfills after languishing in a climate controlled warehouse for a year.
I guess the point I'm getting at is: trying to reduce your personal carbon footprint is a noble goal. Don't abandon it! But real change will have to come from holding corporations accountable for the waste they generate.

Skip the chili at 7-11. No one ever changes it.

Ah perpetual chili, my favorite. This is actually done on purpose somewhere. Here is a snippet from google: A "perpetual stew," also known as "forever soup," is a dish that is kept simmering constantly, with ingredients and liquids replenished as needed. The stew is rarely, if ever, emptied, and can continue to be cooked for decades if properly maintained
The experts at Integrity Online explain that in the event of obvious wrongdoing such as when a worker points out a serious health and safety violation to the relevant authority, it would constitute a good faith breach of an NDA, which would not result in repercussions.
"Alternatively, neglecting internal processes, bypassing the relevant authorities and blowing the whistle via the media in an attempt to slander the employer would be a bad faith breach of the NDA that could result in legal action," they warn.

No longer employed there, but when I worked at a certain big box retailer of home improvement products we would occasionally see hopeful strangers sitting in our lobby with boxes or other packaging waiting for meetings. These people were small-time inventors of new products and were trying to get them on the shelves of our retail locations. What they didn't know is that, as condition for consideration of carrying the product, they would be required to turn one or more samples over to the company to be examined by the product teams. If the product showed promise, one of those samples would be shipped to another country where it would be thoroughly dissected and analyzed so that an equivalent product could be developed under the house label (with enough modifications to not infringe on any patents, of course) and *that* product was what would end up on the shelf. From what I heard, a lawsuit pretty much ended the practice and now they don't allow pitches from independent producers any more. They just wait to see what other retailers are already carrying (and selling well) and copy those.
Jrog 1 month ago (edited)
That's a little too vague and probably made up. Mind you, this practice definitely exists. It's the concept behind "Amazon Basics". But, those companies don't take stuff from the inventors; they typically encourage the inventors to work with suppliers and manufacturers to bring the product to the market through different channels (like the "Seen on TV" one), and *if the product works* they proceed to copy, industrialize, sometimes improve it and undercut on price the original inventor.

Chan agrees that there are times when it’s okay to break the NDA and speak up. NDAs are meant to protect business secrets, not to cover up bad behavior, she says.
"They can’t legally stop someone from reporting illegal or dangerous behavior. If an employee wants to report harassment, discrimination, fraud, safety violations, or anything against the law, whistleblower protections apply," explained the expert. "That means you’re legally allowed to talk to law enforcement or government agencies, even if you signed an NDA. And if you're ever unsure about whether you’re crossing the line is, it’s smart to check with a lawyer first. A quick chat can help you speak up without putting yourself at risk."

I sang opera professionally for a long time. The amount of sexual harassment and a*****t that is not only overlooked but excused is absolutely abhorrent.
When Domingo was called out, I had a colleague who furiously defended him. Her argument was that he was always nice to her. Well, he must be a good dude, then, if he was nice to one lady who was close to his age and was already an established artist! He preyed on young women early in their career, d*****s.
Our old general director didn’t give two s***s about most of the artists and would repeatedly hire one particular conductor who groped a colleague onstage. It’s getting a little better, but it’s far, far too slow.

The NYPD downgrades crimes from felonies to misdemeanors and makes every attempt to not even take a report for serious crimes. If there's no report, the crime isn't counted , hence, it never occurred. This is how high-level bosses get promoted, and politicians get re-elected.
Yes, there is a quota. Cops have a certain number of arrests and summonses they need each month. If they don't hit the expected number, they get broken up from their steady partner, their tour is changed, they get s****y assignments, and ultimately get highway therapy, which is getting assigned as far from their home as possible.

Multinational pizza chain infamous for low quality.
A local luxury hotel contracted us to provide their room service pizzas. We charged them $6+$2 tip per pizza, and we would deliver to the back entrance of the hotel in a plain white pizza box.
We would normally charge $10 for the same pizza, they were selling it for $28.
Our drivers loved it when they'd get multiple room service orders, plus a couple of direct-to-room orders. Raking in the tips to drive 2 blocks away.

The whole point of an "extended warranty" is to get the car in the shop and find things wrong that aren't covered by the warranty.
iwtsapoab:
Similar to my neighbour getting ‘free’ oil changes with her new Toyota. Every time she brought it in for the ‘free’ oil change they would find something else and fix it instead. Maybe drain some fluid maybe fix some plugs. I kept telling her, if your car is brand new why the hell are they having to do all of this maintenance on it - that doesn’t make any sense at all. She just wouldn’t admit that she was getting ripped off every time so her ‘free’ oil changes always cost her almost $400 every time she went in.

I work in a plastic bag plant. Everything in here runs on electricity. The owners tapped into a power line that runs through the property and for more than 10 years they didn't pay a dime. They made tens of millions. When the fraud was found out they blamed an employee (who was from latin america) and were given a 200K fine.

I worked for a petrochemical engineering company. One of the designers noticed a flaw that if two people in two different parts of a specific plant each opened a specific valve at the same time it would cause a bad thing to happen. When he brought it up to higher ups that they needed to address it they told him don't open the valves together. A few years later it happened and there was a kind of big explosion and fire. Engineers all had to sign an NDA but I wasn't an engineer so I never was told to sign one.

When it comes to delis (i worked in a few supermarkets), even if the company has strict policies, rest assured that there's always a few employees not following the food safety rules.
Cross-contamination is a constantly broken rule, I have seen people open meats with box cutters they keep in their pockets that they use for an indefinite amount of time (weeks, months). They will drop entire hams on the ground and quickly pick them up, hoping no one notices. Those are NOT clean floors.
Some won't change their gloves for hours. They'll be in the back throwing garbage out or having a smoke, or they'll clean the deli using nasty broomsticks and mophandles, and jump right back on the line and cut your cold cuts for you.

Most people know by now that Target likes to let you steal long enough to build a case against you. What you don't understand is just how high-end their security camera system is. It's actually scary.
They had cameras that could zoom in to such a degree, with such clarity, that even with a bad angle, they could zoom in so much as to have a single letter from your license fill the monitor. They could see the blackheads and pores on your nose or the fibers that make up the paper of the money being used. They could tag you with one camera and all other cameras could track you as you walked through the store, even the waist-height ones. Once again, this was 20+ years ago. I can't imagine how advanced it is now.
Tldr. Don't steal from Target.

Chipotle loves to portray itself as fresh.
In reality, they serve leftovers. Everything at the end of the day is saved, and heated back up the next day. So, if you go in the evening, you're much more likely to get steak that was just cooked whereas if you're in the early part of the lunch rush, you're getting yesterday's leftover steak heated back up in a warmer.

The seasoning masked the smell most times but after day two of that fresh chicken being on the shelf it smelled f*****g rancid. Any chance I get to tell customers not to buy the seasoned meat, I would.

I work for a global hotel chain (probably not what you're thinking of). The whole eco-push, pulling back daily housekeeping for multi night guests as an effort for water conservation, was a direct response to the pandemic decline in business. Business has rebounded, they still have the false "eco-friendly" practice. Oh, and the water bottles that used to be free are now $10 each and sourced from out of state even though we literally are located next to numerous water sources.

I sat holding her hand for some time every day, trying to get her to eat which she didn't, but at least she wasn't alone all the time)

Oh, and the water bottles that used to be free are now $10 each and sourced from out of state even though we literally are located next to numerous water sources.

I've worked in a hotel for 17 years now and we've had 4 suicides/chosen deaths - two jumped and two others consciously booked a long holiday, one to die from an illness their family didn't know they had and the other was an old lady who starved herself to death (I have no idea how she was allowed to travel she was so sick but her husband had died whilst in our country some years before and she wanted to do the same. I sat holding her hand for some time every day, trying to get her to eat which she didn't, but at least she wasn't alone all the time)
