During the annual company picnic, one of our notoriously tight-lipped accounting folks, let's call her Jane, apparently decided it was time to really let her hair down. After a few too many glasses of wine, she found herself atop the karaoke stage belting out tunes like a contestant on a talent show.

But the real kicker? Jane wasn't just singing—she was revealing office secrets between songs. Everything from the truth behind mysteriously disappearing stationery to who really broke the microwave in the break room. The crowd was in stitches, and cell phone videos of her performance went viral within the office.

By Monday, the videos had somehow reached the higher-ups. They weren’t too thrilled about the breach of office etiquette and confidentiality. Management called an emergency meeting, but instead of the expected reprimand, they announced a formal karaoke contest as a new annual team-building event, thanks to Jane's unexpected display of spirit and surprisingly entertaining accusations.

Jane still works in accounting, but now she also heads the party planning committee – and the microwave has never been cleaner.

CEO was caught hooking up with the head of accounting in his office on a weekend. CEO then took all the petty cash, drained whatever he could out of the business account, and both of them fled to Honduras. It was a pretty crazy exit as the company went down in flames less than a month later after all the hidden accounts that were in default and collections came to light. People took the computers, desks, chairs, tvs, etc. as payment for their missing paychecks upon their exit.

Our c suite offices had full frosted windows from the floor to the ceiling so you couldn't see in at all unless the door was open. But they weren't very sound proof.

We had a married couple that were both devs. Everything seemed fine and no boundaries were crossed in terms of pda.
The husband was out to lunch and the wife went into the office room. After a while the rest of the staff heard the sounds of spaghetti being stirred and daddy issues being made. By instinct everyone assumed it was the husband in there... Until he walked back in from lunch. The room fell silent. SILENT.

The husband charged in and all hell broke out with our cto and the husband beating each other and the wife running out looking exactly how you'd expect... Messed up hair, clothes and messed up makeup.

The next day the frosted windows were changed so you could always see people's feet and legs.
