This was a pretty famous incident (at least amongst my work group) at a large company I worked for a long time ago…. My boss’s admin wrote a semi erotic sci fi fantasy western story with him as the main character. He wrote it on his work computer and when he was done he tried to email it to someone. He emailed it to EVERY person in the region who held a specific job, about 20 people. Needless to say, they shared it with anyone they could. By the end of the day it had been read by a vast majority of employees on the west coast. Hundreds of employees read this thing, with the senders name on it as well as IN it as the protagonist. Somehow, he did not get fired. I really have no clue how he didn’t. Anyway, it’s a thing of beauty. This happened in 2008 and I still have it saved in my personal email. I read it at least annually for a laugh. It’s got everything. Sex, cowboys, aliens that bestow rocket fart powers.

I think he either wasn't fired because no one made an official complaint for sexual harassment and it was clear he didn't do the sending it intentionally, or it wasn't clear it was truly him and not sabotage from someone else. I knew a person trying to frame someone else for misconduct in a similar way. That person was caught and fired, then, to not generate a Streisand effect, they hushed everything up and dealt with concerned parties behind closed doors.

Maybe inapropiate use of work computer. I wouldn't fire him, but have a strong talk about mailing security, like he could send by mistake sensitive info to the wrong person. Far from that, his actions were harmless.

You’re misusing the personal pronoun; “him” is correct. Pleeease look up reflexive pronouns so you can use ‘em properly; so many young folks are using them as the subject of sentences and they end up looking stupid. Don’t look stupid!

Lucky for us, Swag_Paladin21, or @SwaggyG_2102 on X, was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda about how this conversation started in the first place.
They shared that nothing in particular inspired them to start this conversation, but when the question popped into their mind, they just had to reach out to fellow Reddit users. And thankfully, Swag_Paladin21 hasn't yet witnessed any crazy scandals in their own workplace. "I only work at FedEx during the summer, and I'm a full-time college student," they explained.

Let’s see, my old job had several:
Guy working on a machine got decapitated because he forgot to turn the lift off that was right above him. I was there but did not see it, however, production continued and all they did was section off the part of the plant he was at.
Another guy had a heart attack on the assembly line, witnessed as they tried using a defibrillator to bring him back, but we were all given very specific instructions as to not stop the line whatsoever.
A couple got caught having sex in the bathroom and the wife tried to claim that she was only helping him tie his shoes.
This crazy woman decided to come in on night shift (when she worked day shift), locked somebody in a supply closet and wasn’t found out until she was spotted sitting in front of the closet and singing to the person she was holding hostage.

I used to work at a big corporate law firm, and every year they would take on about 15 law students. One year, 3 of the students were almost identical. Kind of generically pretty honey-blondes, about the same height and body type, all with similar haircut, very similar glasses, similar clothing style, etc. 2 of them were with us for 3 years and the other for 2, and for that entire time people at the firm were mixing them up. So the first year, when they were still pretty fresh and literally nobody could tell them apart, one of them (or more??) got white girl wasted at one of the firm events. She (they??) started asking people to do m***y with her in the bathroom, insulted one of the senior partners, got in a fight with an important client, threw up at the bar, and made racist comments to the hr director about the cab driver and refused to get in with him so a second cab had to be called. The partners were furious, staff was furious, clients were furious, hr was furious. There were senior level meetings about it for about 2 weeks, but the problem was that nobody could say for certain which one of them it had been, or even if it had been only one. They were interrogated repeatedly but nobody confessed and nobody was able to implicate any one of them with any real certainty. So nothing happened. Only one of them ended up being hired on as a lawyer, and to this day (11 years later) nobody knows if it was her or not.

Had a pretty boy boss (ex airforce) that was a serious womanizer. He got his son a job at the same glass factory. The son was over the moon as his wife was having a baby. After, it was born, the DIL confessed that the father-in-law as the real birth father. Daddy cleaned out all his bank accounts and disappeared with the DIL leaving his wife destitute. The last I heard the son had a gun and was looking for his dad!
The OP also doesn't believe that dramatic stories such as these take place in all work environments. "I believe scandals are like rare events that happen in a fairly mundane environment," they shared.
As far as what Swag_Paladin21 thought of the responses to their post, they told Bored Panda that they really enjoyed them, but nothing in particular shocked them. "I knew that there was going to be some wild stuff that was going to be posted in the replies before I even submitted my post," they noted.

The crazy bunny hoarder lady. She was completely normal and forgettable at work, but turns out to have hoarded hundreds of bunnies in her home; filth everywhere, the usual animal hoarding setup. She quit when she was arrested and the bunnies were removed from her home and she eventually moved away. One of the terms of her release was that she was not permitted to have pets and all her neighbors had to be informed of her animal abuse and were instructed to call the cops ASAP if they spotted any signs of her collecting bunnies again. There were jokes at work for years about checking desks for hidden bunnies, and every time a new employee asked what the joke was, someone would Google her and find out about whatever her newest bunny-related charges were. She did not stop hoarding bunnies.

Bunnies are such delicate little creatures and require specific nutrition and care. They're silent sufferers. Sometimes it's tough to tell when they're unwell until it's too late. Even if you know what you're looking for in terms of sickness, with that many buns, I guarantee she lost a few or many. Also, every bunny owner knows that tidying/cleaning up after a bunny is a daily task. Bunnies themselves don't really have a scent but their pee is very strong. Those poor little things. I wish that woman a lifetime of split zippers and wet socks.

At my wife's workplace one evening, one of her workmates was being banged on the boardroom table by a manager, seen by a whole array of people at a 2nd story bar across the road. The colleagues must have thought the glass wasn't see-through from outside. Cellphone footage went globally viral in a matter of hours. One of the witnesses at the bar was a friend of ours, who sent a text to my wife when we were home that evening. After a few hours, my wife text her workmate to see if she was ok, because my wife thought the girl would have found out the global sensation by now. She didn't know, and my wife had to tell her that she was on a viral video of her being screwed in the office.
Come Monday, butt-prints were found on the table when people arrived at work. Poor girl agreed to resign while the older guy continued his career.

We had to do a sting operation in our work where a bunch of lockers over a couple months were broken into and all employee cash nicked. Didn’t take long to realise it always happened after pay day and the employee was talking in the lunch room about going shopping after work. Well we loaded up a camera in a locker and had a colleague announce loudly in the break room about going xmas shopping later and how they were worried about having so much cash on them. It turns out it was one of the managers. Honestly that woman was the shame of the place. Was immediately let go and last I heard was practically chased out of the town we lived in. (Her house/car was constantly getting vandalised).

Headmaster of my daughter's school had an affair with a parent. She and her husband blackmailed the school to keep quiet. When that tactic didn't work, they outed him by 1) throwing fliers around at a PTA meeting and 2) simultaneously sending whatsapp messages to the entire parent body.... Of the naked selfies he sent to her. This sparked a chain of events including press exposure (no pun), he said-she said. 2 very broken families and damaged children. Selfish as f**k.

Someone was caught stealing scratch cards from the customer service desk, scratching them and trying to claim them from the lottery. Didn't know that the tickets aren't valid until "Activated" at the till, similar to online store credit coupons.
Also, the company's regional manager almost cost us our liquour license because he tried to force a checkout employee to run alcohol through for a suspected underageed customer and, when said employee refused even with the objections, tried to kick her off the till and run the purchase through himself (because she was still logged into the till, it would've been blamed on the checkout girl since the evidence pointed to her). The shift manager had overseen the argument and dragged his a*s out the back to give him the third degree, but not before asking for ID and refusing the purchase.
Turns out it was a police-sanctioned test purchase.

About 20 years ago I got an internship working in an office of a random factory near campus for one semester. It was a peanut butter factory. One day someone drove a forklift off a ledge into a giant vat of peanut butter. I witnessed the discussion among managers of if/how the peanut butter could be saved. They ended up not saving it, but there was a huge fight as the general manager really really wanted to hide this accident.

It’s kind of concerning that a vat was open enough that a forklift was able to drive in to it. Why was a forklift at a level above the vat? Was there a railing to prevent falls in to the vat that the forklift broke through, or were the safety levels so bad that someone could accidentally fall in at any time?

I was an English teacher in Japan and at one school we had these "private" rooms that were basically meant for 1 - 3 students and a teacher.
They were tiny rooms with a round table. The doors were made of transparent glass.
One of the teachers was caught having sex with his student on the table when she requested a private 1 on 1 lesson.
To be fair they were already dating and both were of age. It was, however, against school policy to f**k your students.
Another time we found a wireless hidden camera in the girl's toilet.

There was two goofball I worked with, lets call them Jim and Kevin.
Both of these guys were pathological liars, and pretty stupid to boot. As a couple of examples, Jim bought a sport bike her could barely ride and immediately claimed he was in the "Rough riders", a motorcycle stunt gang. Kevin would make outrageous claims like the exhaust on his truck netted him a hundred horsepower, or that Subaru was a German automaker. They were always calling each other out on their obvious lies, and loathed each other.
The controversy begins when we had the yearly shift bid, and Jim took a spot that Kevin wanted. It's seniority based, so Jim of course has every right to take the shift. Kevin didn't like that so he followed Jim to the local 7-11 at lunch and tried intimidating Jim into pulling his name. Jim goes to our manager and makes a complaint. Kevin denies the whole thing, but they suspend him while they investigate. So Kevin leaves and waits across the street for Jim to leave. He follows Jim home, but Jim is the smarter of the two and drives a police station instead. Kevin, being the moron that he is, follows him into the police station parking lot and is quickly set upon by the officers there. They drag him out of his truck and it turns out he was armed. Not completely sure what happened to Kevin after that, but we never saw him again.

Actually the last sentence does not make sense. It doesn't matter if two managers have to be present. The privacy would be so that other employees walking by could not see who was being disciplined / how they were reacting. "Did you see Marge balling her eyes out in the HR office?" I'm not excusing the office sex. Just saying some level of privacy for folks going into the HR office is not unusual.

Had an IT guy that didn't wash his hands after he pooped. He wore Nike shoes that were like super bright and vibrant, so if you were sitting in a stall, and saw those shoes next to you you'd know it was the IT dude taking a dump. You'd hear him wipe, flush, pull his pants up, and then walk out of the bathroom. His nickname was poopy fingers, and ever since then I have always had a thing of Clorox wipes at my desk. Like this guy would put his hands on your mouse, all over your keyboard, desk phone, and it was possible he had just taken a s**t before working on your computer. Several people went to HR, and for some reason they literally did nothing. People do this day still wonder why I don't partake in office potlucks. Well, one day ole' Poopy Fingers didn't show up for work. Then it became a few days, then about a week, and then a couple of weeks. People started asking, and looking around.

I can't imagine how hard it must be having a loved relative begging you to kill them because they are in so much pain and already dying. There is pain that drives you to insanity. The worst are the people who try and fight for mandatory life prolonging procedures. Horrible. Not enough that we force people to endure horrible, prolonged suffering we would call cruel if anyone did it to a dog, there are even people who even try to fight standard palliative care and easing the dying. There are people out there who try to ban the usage of hard pain medication for palliative patients because they have detrimental long term side effects or shorten the life span. Not for themselves or their loved ones, no, they want to make it illegal for everyone. Some people are so afraid of their own death that they can't even accept other people's deaths. Don't get me wrong, I don't condone euthanasia. But I do not think that life should be prolonged at all cost.

Choosing the right time can be a challenge, but with a disease it's unlikely that you'll abruptly pass the point where you can't go out on your own terms.

I feel like this should be a choice for the patient. Presumably this man did not live in a place were it was legal for his doctor to assist him. In the USA it is not legal but they sort of skirt around it for hospice patients. Many are given a morphine drip. Officially it is to make them more comfortable (which it does) rather than kill them but a side effect is it makes the pass sooner as well. Happened to my grandma years ago and just last week a friend's father. With my grandmother, the nurse did pull me aside beforehand and let me know if I authorized that it would cause her to pass sooner. But considering she was in discomfort and they said her heart had just worn out (she was 95) and there was nothing they could do for her - she was never going to leave the hospital room alive. It was just a matter of how many hours she had to lay there.

When I worked in a hotel everyone knew my boss was having an affair with one of his managers. It was a very badly kept "secret". Everything came to a head one day when the manager's husband showed up at the hotel. She was supposed to be out of town but was actually staying in one of the hotel's rooms and screwing my boss. Not sure how he found out, but the husband caught them together and a fight ensued.

I think the second manager was just confused about what her boss said about giving lip service to employee satisfaction.

When I was 17 years old I got a job at the neighborhood donut shop that my family had been going to for years. There were a lot of regulars who hung out and drank coffee (and smoked cigarettes) there for hours a day (this was before coffee shops were really a thing.) A few months before I got hired it got bought by a new owner and it was run by him, his wife, and his wife's mother who had all worked together at other shops. There was another waitress there who was a 17-year-old foster child. She spent a lot of time with the family, which didn't seem suspicious because they had an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old that she babysat and we thought they just felt sorry for her because she was in foster care so they included her in family outings.
Yeah, you can see where this is going. 🙄 Within 6 months he had left his wife, who moved out of state with her mother and the children, and moved the 17-year-old in. The regulars begin gossiping and he literally banned staff and customers from discussing him or the girlfriend, as well as staff from coming in when we were not working. Keep in mind, I had been coming into that donut shop my entire life at that point. My dad stopped going in entirely after that, except when I was working, and I think that was just to keep an eye on the situation. We lost most of the other regulars because they refused to stop gossiping about him and we were supposed to kick them out when they did. 🤣 I didn't really care, even though when I worked shifts with her she didn't do anything and I kept walking in to the back to find them making out which really grossed me out because he was almost 40. But when he told me I had to start sharing my tips with her I quit (we had never pooled tips before and she wasn't getting any because she wasn't serving anyone.) Shortly after I quit another waitress quit for the same reason and the few customers they had left stopped coming in at all. He went out of business less than a year later. I'm pretty sure he and the girlfriend broke up shortly after that, but I never saw or heard from either of them again. Ironically, I still talk to a lot of the regulars and my current mechanic, 30 years later, was one of them. 🤣 He and I still sometimes talk about back then.

One could discuss the relationship one way or the other. But no matter what you think on that topic, I think it's clear who was the brain behind the business and it wasn't the creepy husband. People don't turn around and suddenly become idiots after leading a successful business for so long. He always was an idiot and most likely cheated because the teenager 'finally understood his needs' and didn't nag him to behave like an adult. I bet he was sprouting how his wife had 'emasculated' him by 'undermining' his decisions and 'limiting his freedoms' as a man. While all she did was keeping him from destroying the business and their marriage. And then his teenage gf grew up and realised he was a 40 year old perpetual teenager.

He was a new owner. The successful owners sold the business to him & he proceeded to ruin it because he let his penis make his decisions.

Security work for a government acronym agency. 2 supervisors were having an idle conversation which turned into a disagreement regarding the interpretation of a procedure. They took their disagreement to a manager. Manager kicks it up the chain, which led to an investigation. The result of the investigation led to 37 people being suspended and 6 terminations. It made the news.

Worked in a fast food place in high school. Manager in his 30’s had a relationship with one of the employees, a high school senior. Faked a burglary of about $6k and manager got tied up to a tree and drove car off a cliff. Police saw right through it. Owners did not prosecute but fired both and made them pay everything back. The two stayed together and got married several months later. Not sure where they are now.

Single woman was notorious for dating married co-workers. The woman had lots of money and lured them with vacations, gifts etc. She took one on a vacation, the married guy told his wife that it was a work trip. Someone tipped his wife off and she met them at the airport and dumped his clothes in front of them and told him not to come home.
Another single woman had an affair with a married co-worker. She got pregnant. His wife said, end it now or I'm walking away with half of your pension, the house and kids etc. The guy got a transfer to another location leaving his pregnant with twins mistress in the dust.
Chriss21 2 years ago
A wealthy woman "lures" men with vacation, gifts etc., so she is the story villain. But if a wealthy man offers vacation, gifts etc., then the woman is a gold-digger, so again, the villain. Double standards maybe?

I would say that they are both the villains. The women for disrespecting the relationship status of the men and the men for not valuing their marriage commitments.

We rented out a restaurant for the christmas party of our department. Things escalated quickly, people started snorting lines everywhere and everyone got s**tfaced. The department consisted of 80% uni students (m+f) age 19-26 and 20% single mothers age 40-50… A couple was caught f*****g in the kitchen of the restaurant and the party was ended by the owner. The kitchen had to be sanitized and the costs had to be payed by the two lovebirds… Needless to say our christmas partys looked different after that one…

When you allow alcohol at company Christmas parties, most people understand it’s like one and done. But other people never will. They will get shitfaced, act inappropriately, and totally show their a*s (sometimes literally) in front of their BOSS. Then they’ll vomit somewhere that isn’t the toilet, and have to be carried out and taken home, usually by an extremely embarrassed significant other—-and if the SO is the employee, you know damned well it will only happen once. Either the drunk is not invited in future, or the employee dumps them because they’re such an embarrassment. Remember folks, your SO represents you at your company’s Christmas party, or company retreat if you’re allowed a plus one, or the boss’ kid’s wedding, or the company picnic. Make sure anyone you AND anyone you date or marry actually knows how to behave themselves in public, or you can kiss any advancement in your career goodbye. Sad it has to be like that, but when it comes to your work, appearances actually are extremely important.

My wife used to work for a place where they'd pay for the employee xmas party--*except* booze. They'd pick a restaurant, select a menu, and tell us that we could order anything we liked off that menu, and all non-alcoholic beverages wouldn't cost us anything either--but if we wanted to drink booze, we had to run our own tab. I don't drink, so it was always hilarious to me to watch the drinkers whining at the end of the meal when they got their tab. "This is too expensive! It's so mean/unfair that Employer won't pay for our booze!" Boo-freakin-hoo...

Years ago, our overnight shift manager was "caught" blowing dudes in the bathroom. Except she wasn't actually caught. She admitted it was how she motivated the overnight crew who got bored easily. But it was a good thing we replaced her with a c***k addict. Who ended up stealing a ton of our computer equipment. And would also blow dudes in the bathroom. We outsourced to India and haven't had any issues since.

Worked in a restaurant. One of the servers wondered what the big "in case of fire" button in the kitchen did. The answer was it blasts a siren and dumps vast amounts of foam on all the cooking areas. Ovens, hobs, deep fat fryer, microwaves, everything. Restaurant could only serve drinks that day as the foam takes a long time to clean out. All reservations cancelled. Person did not lose their job, but we all had to go through for safety induction again.

Owner of company had affair on his wife of 25 years. With his bookkeeper that had a bf for 9 years and was 20 years younger than her boss. The same bookkeeper that babysat bosses kids when boss and his wife were working day and night to keep business running. The same bookkeeper that’s the daughter of companies biggest customer. The same bookkeeper that is the owners goddaughter. It was an ugly divorce and the owners kids don’t talk to the owner anymore. One got pissed, ended up married and moved states away and the other took over his moms half of the business and is currently subverting the owner out of his half. It’s been a wild thing to witness.

A guy got fired for stealing a roll of toilet paper. (It was a really well paid office job, so it was a WTF moment, that someone risks his career for a roll of TP.) One time the whole police department showed up and arrested a guy. Multiple police cars, tens of officers. They candcuffed the guy and escorted him out of the building. Turns out he stole our clients' Credit Card info and tried to order stuff online. One girl dropped a bottle of water which laned next to a power outlet. Some electrical overload developed, she basically fried all desktop PC's in her office. 10 people spent the day waiting for the IT department to fix the issue.
I heart Boo-BI-es 2 years ago
All these stories in this post seem ridiculously fake. First off the entire police department did not show up to arrest someone for credit card theft and honestly who's counting rolls of tp never mind firing someone for taking a roll? Lastly if the water supposedly fried all the PC's wtf is IT going to do about it? You would first need to make sure the outlets and electricity are working properly and then need to order all new PC's before IT would need to show up. Like why bother lying? 🤦♀️

My old work, before I worked there, made the local news when one of the senior people threw himself off a cliff one day. Everyone was so confused and sad, why would he do that? People gave tribute and spoke at his funeral. Then it turns out that the guy had stolen millions from a client account and was about to be found out and had no way to pay it back so took the easier way out. The other senior people had to get money together for the client themselves to save the business. Apparently the big boss' hair went white like overnight, he had been planning to make the guy his successor and took a lot longer to retire instead. Needless to say there were a lot more security measures around client accounts by the time I started there 👀

Similar thing in Australia in the past few years, there is an Australian business woman who embezzled millions of dollars from clients. She was supposed to be investing it for them but was stealing it all for herself instead. When she was found out she was let out on bail. One day she disappeared after her morning run and only her left foot was found washed up on the beach, they suspect she did something similar to the cliff jump.

Because they can’t keep it in their pants. If you’re so lol-fired ready to have an affair, at least be smart. Be discreet, take it OFF property, and don’t say one word about it to anybody, even your affair partner. Though I do not condone cheating, ffs at least keep it to yourself. Nobody else at work wants to hear about it, or see the evidence of it. The rest of us just want to do our work, go home, and deposit our paychecks every payday. We have lives of our own, which carry their own drama and other b******t that we have to deal with, we sure as s**t do NOT need yours encroaching on them as well.

Not exactly a scandal, but it was an open secret our Chief Pilot only has a job because the original owner died before he could fire the dude. the old Chief Pilot had to step up and run the business as the CEO, and with a recent airline hiring kick, and loss of the Owner who made the place what it was, they had lost a good chunk of their long-time pilots and the job of Chief was left to this incompetent dumbass. I suspect the only reason was because the paperwork kept him off the flight-line as much as humanly possible, though I could assure you when he went flying it was always... interesting. there was more than once the conversation of "should we let him k**l himself this time or should we say something" was said when this jackass took an unairworthy aircraft out (Yes, it happened *multiple* times). Unfortunately for humanity our own moralities won out in the end. I still expect to see an NTSB Report with his name on it at some point if he's still flying.

A friend worked there a bit later and told me the foreman was fired when they found him accepting bribes/kickbacks for awarding contracts.

The superintendent was part way through building a new house with the material while the foreman just sold his portion off.
