‘A bloke at work was new, gave everyone nicknames from from Ninja Turtles because he was still learning our names. Referred to another worker as Splinter in front of a manager and was out the door by the end of the day. The bloke he called Splinter actually liked the nickname and fought for the blokes job. The irony.’

‘In my last job there was a small 8 person night shift team which included two couples, couple A and couple B. The man from couple A was heavily flirting with the Woman from couple B, so the woman from couple A reported couple B for doing coke at work. The company did a blanket drug test on the whole team and 7 people failed and all lost their jobs and the night shift no longer existed.’

‘When I was doing door to door sales, one of my coworkers got 6 sales in a day and was bragging to everyone. The next day we found out he got fired because he had signed up his entire family in order to get the commissions. They found out because his tracking location showed he got all 6 sign ups while being inside his own home.’

‘Making and sharing a colleague’s birthday card where they photoshopped the guy’s bald head onto a photo of a whale’s penis.
The birthday boy/baldie found it funny, but HR did not. Not only did the instigator get fired, but the entire company had to do compliance training involving a slightly less NSFW version of this exact scenario.’

‘About 10 years ago someone diverted a load of company payments to their own account, used it to buy a brand new Porsche 911 and rocked up to work one day like it was nothing. They were on an entry level minimum wage job. Still gets whispered as legend around the office.’
