119 Work Secrets Employees Discovered That They Probably Shouldn't Have

My boss was/is sleeping with HR head and theyre both married (not to each other)

This multi billion dollar job is almost entirely billed as time and material. That means they don't really give a fuck if you get much done, but if you miss any time they will rain down hell. They need us there for the billable hours.

The job itself is rather unique, so there is no benchmark for cost/time. So as long as you aren't visibly drunk, sleeping, or fighting, you can dick off to your heart's content.

At a place that I used to work I was the only person with any IT smarts. I set up the spam filter to forward to my inbox any "maybe" emails that it caught which I would then look at and forward on if they weren't spam.

On two occasions I was forwarded an email receipt for viagra which one of my colleagues had purchased with his work email address. I just deleted them rather than forward on because, well, because it's just easier that way.

There's a guy that clocks in for overtime every weekend and then drives home. He's making an extra 60 grand a year doing this.

At a past job, the husband of the HR director was friends and college buddies with my manager. My manager was misogynistic, maintained a hostile work environment (daily), and was sexually harassing two female employees. Though he was reported (almost weekly) he would never get into trouble (he did get promoted frequently), but the reporter would, one day, find their 'position eliminated' and walked out the door. The company is currently facing a class action law suit brought by 24 past employees, some with audio or video proof of the abuse or non-action by HR.

At my last command the Legal Officer of all people would put his calls on speaker phone and leave his door open. So of couse everyone in the vicinity could hear him talking about people's sensitive information as well as his personal opinions about these people. One of the worst I overheard was "Is there anything we can do to keep so-and-so from advancing (getting a promotion)?" Another was "So-and-so's wife called the captain saying he beat the s**t out of her, so now I have to deal with THAT." He was a piece of s**t. Probably still is.

The head of my old org in my region stole $500,000 from the org, which caused us to cut our services to homeless people.

My boss is faking a recovery program, hit her ex husband with a car, and is never going to change or get fired because she's the owner's daughter who "can't do anything about her."

Only one of the security cameras actually works. The rest are for show.

Also, at a credit union I worked at I knew both halves of the combination to the vault. (THOSE security cameras did work for sure tho).

That our CEOs speeches are actually written by low level grunts. Makes me wonder about all the inspiring leader's speeches of the past.

My old Job's security system's passwords were the store numbers. And all computers had the same passwors and login which was the stores name and store number. I was told by my former boss that, it's the same for every store so I Technically have access to everystore in the country.

I don't know if this counts, but my mom works for the Federal Government of Canada, and she was one of the first to know that Justin Bieber was banned from China.

My CEO didn't resign by choice. Investors forced him because he was sued for sexual assault.

- My boss's boss doesn't flush, pees on the toilet seat and doesn't wash her hands after using the bathroom. Unfortunately I know this first hand...

- Also, I know a way to enter the building easily after it is "locked up" at 10 p.m.

- AND... I once accidentally saw the salary of a Division head instead of mine (in USD it would be about 26,000 gross PER MONTH).

Theres a chair in our office which was used by two ex employees to have sex repeatedly on and I'm almost certain there's markings on it.

Newer employees use it and it hurts me a little everytime

My workplace is under investigation for the potentially negligent death of one of our residents. I suspect that they actually have a case too.

If we have to clock in for work at a time when we are not technically on the schedule, we use what's called a "red card." For example, let's say I'm scheduled 2-9 on a particular day and I got called in early. If I tried to punch, I would get an error message. The only people with these red cards are managers (store manager, perishable manager and non-perishable manager).

Well, I know the code for the red card, so theoretically I can punch myself in without needing to get it from a manager.

Manager fired one of my coworkers (lets call him Billy) because her good friend, who works with Billy, didnt like him.

It didnt matter that he was never late, was dedicated, smart, hardworking, and didnt gossip.

Manager also promoted her other friend (who was our billing person and previously worked retail) to HR manager. People's insurance through the company started lapsing and vacation days were taken without warning. Said people were not in the office those days when people had a full workdays' worth of emails to show for it.

At Kmart, the managers constantly show us attempts to steal from the store. But they never say who it is and nobody ever gets fired. They also have these impossible deadlines that we need to meet (which we don’t). They basically just lie a ton to scare people into working harder, which is why I quit

So I used to work for an NGO in a government funded program. Shortly before I quit I found out that the higher ups were actually taking government funded money that was meant for our program and using it on their own non government funded programs. So essentially they were stealing millions of dollars from the government!
