I'm a cynical one; would a sim card from 10 years ago even work in a phone today?

I kept using a company phone for about 2 years after I left before one day the kind robot lady said on the other end said "sorry, we cannot connect your call right now" and I had to go and actually get my own sim card and pay for my own phone bill! Shocking I know... infact that prob the biggest scandal listed so far!!

@Mods... close the thread, I've just posted the most unbeatable work scandal ever in the history of internet forums!

A colleague at work has a friend (male) who spent a few years working on those cruise ships going around the Caribbean full of old retired couples.

Basically there was this old American lady touching 80 on the ship for 3 months on her own.

She offered him $1k cash to sleep with her. He did it 5 times and walked away with $5k over the course of the 3 months. He took it but the thing was she would wet herself in the troughs of passion.

I told my friend for $5k so would I TBH.

Biggest I think is the company I'm in now.
Girl worked with us, nice as well and always smiling.
One weekend she went to Berlin for a party and the Monday she came back she was a different person.
She would stop wearing underwear and sit in front of the whole team with the legs open.
Then she'd take 2 hour breaks daily and management just seemed incompetent to get rid of her or just find out what caused her to change.
She was then caught sniffing cocaine in the toilet which again didn't get her fired.
Eventually she just deteriorated into such a state that she could no longer function, basic tasks became impossible.
Eventually she just never came back to work and none of us knew what happened . We still don't.

Jaysus I wish she'd come work in my office!

Male exposure=unacceptable

Biggest sleaze in last office I worked in was a dirty aul fat one, every "gag" was like something from a Carry On movie, I still shudder, a man would have been crucified for the same behaviour.

I suppose your man was into Google and Facebook for tens of millions each before anyone copped that they were paying out on dodgy invoices; perhaps my trust in corporate governance is somewhat misplaced...

Sounds like something pretty serious happened to her over there.

The gas thing is that men immediately assume that it would be someone at least moderately attractive whereas women will assume the opposite. Women are right on this one as weirdos rarely look after themselves and are minging but us men are the eternal optimists of sexually inappropriate behaviour.

if he was listed as an authorised account he could contact the supplier to change SIM card number.

I have a colleague here who is using a Huawei dongle provided by his previous employer, and is still active. He's working with here the past 4 years

Regarding phones IT contractor from India was given a blackberry. To be used for email access out of hours, emergency use only. He used it for calling home to his family. A lot. Hours at a time. Manager called him inside her office and said the 2,500 bill he had accrued would be withheld from his rate to repay it. He was gone within a few weeks.

Regarding why they haven't just cut the phone contract, he was working for a company who have ongoing work in one of Irelands biggest companies. His phone and monthly bill was probably one of hundreds that were being paid for. So he seems to be just taking advantage of their carelessness as they clearly don't check up on these things.

He does realise that once they do find out he'll be liable for whatever bill he's run up.

This is incredibly sad. I feel that some companies have a really good duty of care towards their staff and others don't give a ****. For example I had a temporary housemate whose workplace were paying for her to get help (she was a recovering alcoholic). Another friend had a nervous breakdown and the boss could have been more supportive but initially failed. I mean you say you don't know what happened but really you do, this person was having a breakdown and the people around keenly watched her have it in a very voyeuristic way so she probably couldn't function at all by the end of it.

A mate worked in a big company and the security guy dies suddenly. Funeral goes ahead as normal...his wife is distraught with sadness at the top of the church. The security guys mistress who was a co worker was also devastated but couldn't grieve at the funeral in case the guys wife found out. Felt so sorry for his wife when I heard it.

Unlikely. If they find out, they will likely quietly cancel the account and say no more.
To make a big song and dance about it works highlight the fact that they were incompetent enough to let it go on unchecked for 10 years.

And even if they do pursue him over it all be has to say is "sure I haven't got that kinda money, what are you gonna do?"

Bigbagofcans · 19-09-2019 1:07pm

I worked in a corner shop that was run by a married couple.

The 40-something year old husband was found to be having an affair with a 17 year employee (same age as me at the time).
He ended up getting her pregnant and leaving the wife & children.

Be honest Bigbagofcans, was there any part of you that was jealous of the other 17 year old?

It was more to do with drugs, it sounds very like she got hooked and became a drug addict.

Some people can't stop even getting off opioid pain killers which turns some into heavy drug users.

Sad way to go.

He wasn't exactly good looking and a married man isn't really a catch!
I never got creepy vibes off him though.

Was this a place that only hired girls in their late teens and early twenties by any chance?

I knew a shop like that. I always thought the middle aged guy running it was a little creepy in his hiring practices (they were generally good looking). Eventually it turned out they'd all been robbing him for years - smokes and phone credit to the tune of thousands a year - and each one passed on the method to the next one before she moved on.

ldy4mxonucwsq6 · 19-09-2019 1:25pm

What's with the amount of phantom s***ters, place I worked at before had one of these too - left surprises in the middle of the bathroom floor (not even in the cubicle just there in middle of the floor) on occasion. What's the thought process behind this?!?

The owner of our local busy pub/restaurant/guesthouse actively only recruits young (very) good looking teenage girls for public facing roles. To be fair he has also stuck his own daughter out there- she is hot though.

All the fatties and munters are confined to the kitchen. Sad but true.

Regrettably two of my sisters have had summer jobs there behind the bar/waitressing over the years.

I was wondering the same thing myself. Like would you not be massively guilty about someone else having to clean that up after you?
And what if you got caught doing it? There is NO way to explain taking a dump on the floor. None!

Maybe that is it. Some people get turned on by danger-sex. Others like a good danger-dump.

Its clever business, eye candy for the leering and ultimately paying aul lads, I was only out in my local last Sat and she said the landlord only hired young women, she knew of lads that had applied. I worked in bookies before and punters would actually ask where the regular young wan was.

Similar thing allegedly happened in a well known pub in Cork city recently. 70 something year old owner and 20 year old cleaner. Married with kids in their 40s of course.

My last workplace got hit hard by a phantom shttr(s?). Over the period of two months there were multiple instances. Both the mens and womens were hit. On the floor, the sink, all your standard targets. Multiple, hilarious emails sent by management encouraging people to "act like civilised adults" etc.

Place before that was a large MNC in Ireland. One day security turned up to the desk of a guy (a real dick) and turfed him out. He had been with the company for ten years. Apparently some mix-up had left him reporting to no-one and doing nothing for years. He'd been abusing this situation and getting a lot of "freebies" too. I love the bureaucracy of big companies.

So the company fired him due to the fact they fecked up and weren't managing their staff.... dafuq?

Obviously we didn't get the full story but from what I heard he'd been actively misleading local management, had been bagging "freebies" (aka stealing electrical supplies and the likes from the site for a home office, which was apparently kickass) and there was a lot of fraudulent expenses that had been approved due to being between the cracks of business units.

I wouldn't have stole but if I were in his position, I wouldn't have told anyone either.

Salary Negotiator · 19-09-2019 3:57pm

Started a job in a bank a few years ago with about 10 other people, new bank and the recruitment process was a little rushed. I was interviewed on a Wednesday and started the following Monday and asked to bring in ID docs etc.

1 girl didn't return from the first break and nothing was said about it. I later found out that when her bank account was being opened (needed a company account to get paid), she failed the AML check and was immediately fired/asked to leave.

Same place a cashier stole £10K and it only came to light when he went on annual leave, turns out each night he'd just been moving balances between accounts and balancing the books that way.

On the phantom crappers, I caught one when i was serving overseas with the army. Our platoon sergeant was giving out yards about the state of the jacks as there was regularly crap all over the seat, bowl etc.
I was entering trap 1 one day and met a local chap that used cook and clean the kitchen for us coming out.
Turns out it was a cultural thing, he used squat over the bowel and let fly (the local toilets were hole in the floor jobs)
I pointed out the error of his ways and that was an and to the matter.
