Forest_Fifer Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Two people at my delivery depot got fired last year for shagging in one of the vans in the yard. Dunno why they didn't just wait till they got home, given they were already a couple. The vans are covered in cctv, as is the yard, lord knows how they thought they'd get away with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I amended it to a picture of me aged approx 6 months, only to have the same middle manager arrive at my desk a couple of weeks later to advise that that wasn't acceptable either I just went without a picture from then on, seemed easier. I had that at my last work. I signed up for their web portal and noticed there was a place to upload a profile picture, so I took a quick snap on my webcam. Within a week, my (slightly embarrassed) boss turned up to let me know that one of the company directors had noticed my picture and demanded that it be changed forthwith as I looked too happy. I should've just quit right then, shouldn't I? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was rumoured (which was true)to have a bit of a sideline of using the office role to rent out properties on behalf of a friend but they could not quite prove it. About 6 months after she left I was informed by another colleague that a she was also told they could bring charges of sexual harassment. Apparently they found a text message on her work phone sent yo me saying "If you fob me in this morning I will show you my tits". I waa never asked about it and had no clear recollection of it, but certainly something she could easily have done as we bantered all the time and sometime it could be inappropriate...but it was just between us and never in front of others. No way would I have seen it as sexual harassment. I joked with the person that informed me that if I had been sexually harassed I would at least like to know about it. And for the record, I probably did fob her in, but no she never. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HR Rep turned red and promised to find out, and got back to him a few days later saying he could.

Putting them in a gigantic chest freezer at home and having turkey every day for the next four months? One of my tasks in a previous company was to hand out turkeys to employees at Christmas time. We had 3-shift operation so there were a fair few employees who I didn't know from Adam. The 1st year we did it we ordered enough for each employee but no extras. We ran out and by a fair few as well so it was obvious that I had given turkeys to folk who were not actually employees. I can imagine the scene outside the factory as folk were telling others that there was a boy inside giving out free turkeys to all and sundry.

Helps fully separate work and play for me anyway. Greenied. Though, I'm currently sitting in my office at home in just shorts sweating my bollocks off. Me leaving this fucking sweat box and opening a cold one will be my separation of work and play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of kids have clicked the past few years that if you don't fancy school uniform then there's actually bugger all that the school can do about it. Whole thing's goodwill and, if push came to shove, then you could wear a onesie every day if you really wanted to. I was in my shorts today.... the unofficial staff uniform of dark suit trousers + shirt & tie is not happening this week.

Raidernation Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) No such thing as uniform or dress code at my current school. therapists will have a word if a student is clearly "inappropriately" dressed, otherwise it's no biggie. We can, within reason, wear whatever. At this time of year it's often shorts and tee shirts for me. ETA: In the worst of my alcoholism I had been known to sneak a drink or two during the work day. eventually cost me a job but my then employers were very understanding and did help as much as they could.

Used to love putting lots of random shite in the fryer too, pieces of jalepeno and cheese covered in flour and batter etc. All leftover food offered to the barstaff as well at the end of shift. Any "out of date" stuff that was getting thrown would be taken home too. Used to be a KP and just about every time I had to get something from the store cupboard for a chef I'd shove a wee treat in my gob. Handful of marshmallows here, crackers there, bit of cheese, even a brownie from the fridge which I'd have to chew and swallow before I handed requested item to the chef. Was some buzz. Would also take at least one chip from any plate I saw unattended, whether it was about to go out or had just come back. Not because I was hungry but just for a wee laugh. And laugh I would. 21 hours ago, Archie McSquackle said: spraying some WD40 or something like that on the back of people's overalls and setting light to them. Whatever if it was burned quickly without setting light to whatever it was on. I don't think there were actually written rules against any of this . Nah, just laws mate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
