The quality of code some people submit makes me wonder how they’re still employed

Implement a critical vulnerability, have it be pointed out, insist it isn’t their responsibility, refuse to fix it.

Also in general so much non SOP and GLP stuff, sloppy work, and constantly needing 11-13 hours a day to get stuff done. Like, I actually see why - they talked and snacked and talked. It wasn’t 13 hours of work, it was about 5. But still - how on earth did the supervisor, who has to make sure no one works more than 9 hours a day tops (we’re clocking), not notice there is something wrong here? You’re clocking an insane amount of time, you work slow and you don’t get everything assigned to you done. There is an imbalance from both sides and it was so obvious and no one did anything. Both sides should be fired honestly.

There was a guy that was the owner’s favorite at a place I worked years ago. Among all the other shit he would regularly get away with, one time he wrote all over the door to another employee’s office with a highlighter. Since that shit’s permanent, the door had to be repainted. This guy owns the company now.

Super busy dive bar. Not the kind of place you’d order a fancy cocktail on a slow night let alone a packed weekend. Customer asks for some particularly complicated drink when the bar is slammed. Bartender tells her that there a lot of people waiting behind her and asks if she’d please order some simple. Customer insists. Bartender pleads. Customer insists. Bartender relents, pulls out all the tools, gathers the ingredients, preps the glass, etc, etc. Pours the ingredients into the shaker. Spits in the shaker directly in font of the customer. Shakes up the drink, strains it in the glass and says, "that’ll be twelve dollars please "

We were having a meeting and our boss was bringing up on-call schedules, and how the new policy was going to be much stricter, as well as a three missed calls and you’re fired deal.

In the middle of his talk, my coworker loudly announces ‘excuse me’ as he reaches down to his bag, pulls out a glock, lowers the slide to make sure its loaded, then places it back in his bag. Then with a lot of enthusiasm, waves his hand saying ‘Please, continue.’

Our boss said something like “I’m sensing some push back on this so we’re going to rethink it before we go further.” The changes never materialized.

In fairness we had all a bit to drink so this was pretty hilarious at the time, but in retrospect it was a pretty fucked up joke.

Guy on the night shift was watching porn on his computer. When it was shown to management, they said, “how do you know it was him?” So we set up a webcam and showed them video of him watching porn. Still didn’t get fired. A little while later, one of the cleaning ladies was shocked when the elevator opened to see this guy getting a BJ. Still wasn’t fired. In fact, a few months later, he won Employee of the Month! That was a messed up place to work.

I used to work for one of the big chain pizza joints. On my 21st birthday my boss and a coworker wanted to take me for a beer. They take me to a bar on the edge of town. We are there for about ten minutes when one of our delivery drivers walk-in and orders a drink. We are at the other end of the bar and wait for him to take a drink, then we all say “Hey Bob!”. Bob looks down the bar and says “hey guys what’s up?” We explained why we were there and then asked why he was since he was on the clock. This was before cellphones were in everyone’s pocket and Bob “couldn’t find” his delivery so he had to stop SOMEWHERE for a pay phone, the beer was just a bonus. Bob had worked there for over 20 years and I guess the boss just didn’t care.

Bob also called into work sick one day and when asked what was wrong he said “My dick hurts” and hung up the phone.

Old job we had management that were such wussies a coworker would do arts and crafts at her desk all the time. Manager would then ask me to do her tasks when the deadline came near. I refused. This went on for a couple years.

Got drunk and hooked up with a married customer during an event. He said he didn’t know the customer was married (no wedding ring). It was my first job out of college and I learned from the sales team that it’s widely known at these events that people “forget” their wedding rings for this exact reason. I guess he wasn’t fired because it was consensual, but weird because customer and her husband were running a family business so technically both of them were our customers.

Oh wait that was me

Not work for 4 months straight.

Screaming into my boss’ face during a heated and un-warranted argument that my co-worker initiated. In all honesty, my boss was in the right in this particular instance. Co-worker never did apologize, to my knowledge. All I can say is my boss has a lot of patience…
