there was a woman at our company in her 50s, never married and quite lonely, who got it into her head that the head of accounts was secretly flirting with her. poor guy was happily married and was just pleasant to everyone at the office, but she took his cheerful "good morning" to mean "I love you". anyway at some point she had a breakdown, started crying and screaming at him in front of the whole department about when he was going to leave his wife for her. she was let go a few days later.
had a underage16 /17 im think albanian girl flirting with me to a point where our supervisor talked to me in privat and warned me that if anithing happend that isnt 100% work related could get me in hughe trouble with her Family.
@@extremchiller410 Back in the day (circa 1990) I was a handsome, intelligent 22 year old with a steady job who had near zero luck with girls. Then I bought a well used Ford custom van. Candy apple red, bumpers and wheels body color, spoiler, paneling, carpet, four Captain's chairs and a sofa bed, the works. Shined it up inside and out, and it was gorgeous (Total lemon though.) All of a sudden, I had a ton of girls- YOUNG girls- wanting to go for a ride. WTF? I'm the same guy I was last week! The worst one was my fire chief's jailbait niece. He took me aside and said "You know how old she is, right?" "Oh, yeah- but thanks for the warning!" Honestly, a carton of cigs, a cooler of beer, and I could have been a redneck Hugh Hefner.
I like this narrator. Both are great at their job! ❤ Thanks for weathering the storm of complaints new narrator... you're doing a great job! Haters gunna hate.
@@jackskudlarek3138yea they seem to have the same green face to identify when they’re talking, that along with the fact they sound similar at times probably makes people think they’re the same person unfortunately. There are three narrators, but some seem to think there are only 2 because of that
@@atodeblue Can we make a petition to make this guy have a different face when he talks so they don't look alike. Like there are millions of colors, lets give this guy his own.
@@Anjuly. LOL Granddad told me the same thing. "Some people will put more effort into avoiding work than it takes to do it in the first place." That being said, even though Granddad was one of the hardest working people (smarter, not harder) I ever met, he had tons of quotes like "Hard work pays off eventually; laziness pays off right now." and "Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can put off 'til next week."
I met an HR manager once who had to deal with a bomb threat. The employees who made the fake threat had used a throwaway email address with a domain that got automatically sent to her spam folder, so she didn't actually discover the threat until days after the bomb was supposed to have gone off. She hired private detectives to investigate the threat (surprised at how unfazed the detectives were about the case, apparently this was normal for them), and two employees who suspiciously quit the day after the threat was made were caught and charged.
The note taking and crumbling it is an anger management technique, but you're supposed to throw it away to symbolize letting go of your anger. It's a way to give yourself a minute to think about consequences and make better choices. The problem is holding on to them. If you keep revisiting petty rage incidents you're at risk of losing control.
It was perfectly acceptable to fire the guy in a job requiring a security clearance for inadvertently driving a car with a gun in it onto a military base. You should be sweeping your car interior for anything before taking it on base. It's entirely possible for there to have been anything planted in there which he didn't check. Explosives, hacking equipment, etc. They deemed him a security risk. It was about far more than the gun itself
Depending on his exact position, experience and training, a firing could still be unreasonable. Nothing bad came out of the situation and the guy was clearly willing to immediately escalate due to his mistake. This could have been a lesson in "your vehicles aren't outside smugglers' reach", but it was "don't work for the government / lie to your boss" instead. Unless he was clearly and unambiguously instructed to check for those exact things, in which case yeah, say "goodbye" to the job you're bad at
You are explicitly told to check your vehicle for tampering or specific things you aren't allowed. Any government contract that requires security clearance and performed on secure property this is covered repeatedly, including swearing in writing that you understand. There's no exceptions.
@@FiksIIanzO He's not being asked to dismantle the vehicle or even look underneath it. This was a weapon in a box in the vehicle trunk, an obvious location to look. You have suspicious packages checked out, you agree to that when you get every level of security clearance for every cleared job when you get read in. Every person whose ever had a clearance will tell you that this was a justified firing. Only people authorized to bring a firearm on base are those who are explicitly authorized, and that includes military service members
Story 1 is already bizarre. Why did the engineer buy a bride he couldn’t bring home? What was his long term plan? Did he not think he’d get caught? And they have a nap room at work? Actually that last one is reasonable. Hope story 7’s second guy got better. Sounds like he had some anger issues.
I would actually argue that story 7’s guy was in anger management or counseling and was using the little papers as a therapy tool, a healthy way to process and move on from the moments of anger
Human trafficking. He got a woman under false pretenses who lacked funds; language skills; possession of the passport she flew in on to go home; access to services for the homeless/abuse survivors/trafficking victims. She had no idea how to find safe housing, food, etc outside what he let her have wherever she was told to stay during the day. He bought a s3x slave. He could dump her on the street with still no funds, possibly less clothes etc she packed to go to him, and no way to prove to immigration that she overstayed a visa or had one requiring a wedding in 90 days (iirc) etc. She becomes the illegal immigrant certain press vilify and many law enforcement/judges live to smack down as soon as he gets tired of sneaking in food for her as his grooming of a 17yo is getting him an obedient side piece who will work 60+ hrs minimum wage for her studio apartment and food stamps/food pantries will cover her ramen and her “one luxury” she buys from her labor is the makeup etc that make his prize look good to incel buddies when he drags her on a “date” where she plays waitress to his group…
My wife used to be head of HR at one of the Top 100 roofing companies where I also worked in management. And honestly half of all these Are barely even all that bad. Just some of the top stories: One guy who had been with us for a few months went through a pretty harsh divorce and never changed his direct deposit, and so the week after everything is finalized he finally realizes that all that money is now going to an account that she's in control. He comes in the day after payday to get to resolve it, and when he's told it may take a day to process, he went after accounting with a knife. I literally lost count of how many times somebody got fired for peeing or pooping on a roof, off the edge of a roof, behind a dumpster, inside the dumpster, inside the company truck into a bag, etcetera. We provided 1 toilet per 8 people every job without fail. Usually loaded onto the roof for convenience. This one is kind of sad because the guy just wasn't all there. Absolute great guy, very good at the job and smart when it came to construction, but had never finished high school and had issues when it came to reading and writing. One day he is doing QA on a large military job and write "wrap pipe" on every pipe. Except he thought it was spelled "rape pipe". A core engineer spotted it, escalated it, and threatened a 20 million dollar plus contract and forced us to fire a disabled person for spelling something wrong. I could probably write a novel on the drug issues not to mention how many times we've caught somebody having sex on the roof. Stealing materials was common But the one sexual encounter I will say really stuck out what is when we discovered a hole drilled into the side of one of our toilets and then taped up. Almost text book glory hole. Portajohn glory hole. It's bad enough when people show up to places like gentlemen's clubs in uniform, but we had a guy get busted on a prostitution sting while still in his company shirt. On the 5pm news. Telling a property owner he'd like to suck on her....
I learned two things: some people can be very good at their jobs while doing something really bad, and some people can do some things that are really stupid!

Fetishes are expensive, I really appreciate the audacity of filing for insurance. Also the immediate understanding that no further words needed to be said. There's a camera, the only reason for you to be uncomfortable telling me this is you know. I know you know. You know I know you know. Bye.
The last one *really* gave me the creeps. Well, quite a few of them gave me the creeps, but the last one was so incredibly violating in a way that is very hard to describe, at least to me :) Great video, peepz!
This is my favorite Reddit story channel because of the human narrators (TTS narrator channels suck. Painful to listen to), and it’s great listening content while I’m at work. Love the longer ones videos with more stories especially!
For story 63: that's bad bdsm, particularly a bad Dom. No matter how thoroughly in your life the dynamic is held, you do NOT use it in ways that have direct, predictable negative consequences for your sub. And you do NOT perform in a setting without consent from EVERYONE present.
Not in the HR department, but this was THE hot gossip for… a while at my job. We had a mass firing of six or seven people. One was the supervisor of the shift on the grounds that he should have known what was going on and gotten it handled. (A pity, he was a cool guy.) One was a guy who was peripherally involved in some way. Never did figure out exactly how. And the rest were a group who had all been having orgies together. Which would have been fine (probably) except they were having them AT WORK. They got found out when one guy was literally caught with his pants down on a security camera.
30:25 I have a motor neuron disease, a Rare Disease whose highest researcher has the genetic condition. He tested such a device. Because muscles can be a mix of atrophied and spastic, when unused, it wouldn’t work for him.

My coworkers are all so boring/sane and our HR department is great, thank goodness. I've brought pets to work but only under dire circumstances--a cat I found on my way to work; bottle kittens; etc.--and they were contained.
I don’t get people who get caught doing shady stuff on company devices. It’s just stupid. If you’re going to slack off (or jack off…) on the clock, use your personal phone and get off the company wifi. This seems like common sense, and the worst I’ve ever done is online shopping and occasionally reading some slightly embarrassing stuff (ok and the time I watched castlevania in the back of the room while essentially being a babysitter), and even then I either use a vpn or cell data. Never assume you have privacy (and that includes your personal devices if you have a work monitoring/security app on there)
What happened was so many companies had these policies on the books pretty much since sexual harassment lawsuits and Internet-connected offices became a thing, but hardly enforced them. As a sysadmin, my coworker and I went to our boss to review the weekly firewall report, and said that there was an engineer watching adult content on his work computer. It didn't infect it (most of those sites don't actually have any malware by the strictest definition, just a lot of ads). That engineer, however, was considered too valuable that we were told to keep that info to ourselves for the time being until the guy became a problem. Now if someone walked in on him and saw it open on his screen, that would be a different story, but he had a private office. Place was a medium-size company with mostly the founder's family in executive positions
You would be surprised by how many people utterly lack any kind of knowledge about computers/technology/internet/etc despite the fact that most jobs are tied to technology these days
@@cur1ouscatf1sh my dad was a chemistry professor. For a few years, he and the other science profs had many positive interactions with the janitor, whose shift ended an hour before people who need to have all the equipment and supplies ready for their labs that day (not uncommon for him to leave at 5 AM. Due to illness I did my History degree there while living at home and thus so did I). He had the master key to all the offices. All the computers had to be gone through with a fine toothed comb. This happened when I was in high school but I had a nodding acquaintance with the science faculty (except the theoretical physicist who might have been theoretical for all I knew. I think he left before I enrolled, or faded into black matter). The consensus seemed to be they didn’t want to know beyond the charges pressed.
@@destinygalearies7382this includes younger generations. Just because you know how to drive a car or device doesn't mean you have the slightest idea how it works.
I used to work at a bit of a small company, and I remember one time the CEO got caught hooking up with his male assistant in his office. Assistant only got a slap on the wrist and years later they got married. I still keep in touch with em.
8:39: This is why documentation is very important. With proper documentation, you could definitely prove that the firing was not for a discriminatory reason. I've had a couple of agents at my job try to pull that card. No, we're not firing you because you're (insert minority group here), we're firing you because you had absolutely horrible quality scores for several months, that sort of thing.
That first one is disgusting. I hope they called the police on him. Women like that are lured with false promises of marriage, and they are often completely dependent on their 'groom'.

@@amandapatrick827 and the "Extra martial" affairs didn't clue you in that this is AI, I refuse to accept any English speaking person can say that with a straight face
@@TheOmegaXicorThis one bothered me too. Context. I had to rewind it to see the subtitles (I most times just listen) and was hoping that it said marital but the human narrator accidentally mixed up the letters and pronounced it martial. Then when I saw 'martial' I thought, an A.I. could have read that. No need for a non-A.I. to bother. Then I laughed at myself a very little bit because it's a video of someone reading stories from another site's threads for us. For our entertainment. Then I thought: Context and active reasoning while reading aloud (which is different and can be challenging)versus reading the words as written verbatim would be preferable. And last thought, thank you Narrator and team for what you do 😊
I work in a hospital kitchen. Kid incorrectly put in a time off request. He noticed he didn’t get it off and told one of our coworkers how bummed he was he didn’t get it off. He worked like normal for a week and then disappeared. He wouldn’t answer his phone or social media apps or the like for three days. Where I work, you can only no call no show without reason two days before termination, but due to his age we gave him a courtesy day. We didn’t hear from him for two weeks when he walked into work ready to roll. He took his vacation anyway, without finding cover or telling our manager, and thought he’d have a job when he came back two weeks later. No one even knew until after he came back that he incorrectly made his time off request. Needless to say, he did not get to keep his job.
39:36 "Hot dog, how do I get one of those?" - Dude, just go to the store, or the street corner, or literally any fast food place... what a weird question. (Yes, I know it was taken out of context. It was also a joke)
This happened about two weeks ago before I came in for my shift at work. One of the inbound early morning workers was allegedly drunk and high and ran out of the place i work and tried to kidnap a child from the dance studio near by and then tried to steal a car in the process. Also the week at that co-worker got fired for harassing other employees sum under 18. He got fired form both of his jobs for doing the same thing at the other job.
24:39 I think we need more context. 120 km/h is about 75 mph, which would be perfectly acceptable on certain roads. Although.... Snapchatting while driving is kinda moronic too, I guess.
Ooooh I have one!! I had to fire one of my girls (staff member from a team of around 35 employees) Bc I figured out she was stealing pain medication from my purse. I was so shocked. She was around 23 and I didn’t want to ruin her future, but upon confronting her, getting back the meds I had left, and firing her, I made her sign a full confession with witnesses. I wanted to be able to have it documented in case anything else happened, but wanted to avoid jail time for her if I could. Two years later I suddenly got an email from another company wanting a fucking job reference!! I completed the document honestly, laughing the whole time. “Why did this employee leave your company?” *She was fired for theft* “Would this employee be rehired if they desired?” *Yeahhh no. Absolutely not* “Did the employee receive any disciplinary action or is there anything else you believe we should consider before considering employment?” *Why yes! Thank you for asking! She stole controlled substances from my purse- her boss- in a private office area, committing tresspassing, theft, and possession of controlled substances without a prescription all at once. We did not report her, but she was told- in writing- we would be honest if anyone contacted us as a reference* She was pretty damn slick covering up her apparent addiction and honestly was a great thief (I only caught her Bc I knew exactly how many pills I had before she stole and I deduced she was the only one who went into my office when I was in the bathroom). But when it came to actual common sense, she was seriously lacking. She was a very sweet girl though and, all things considered, I hope she’s doing well.
was working at a call center in Tigard, OR, when the cops came in to arrest a woman I'd been in training with, her boyfriend had kicked her son in the chest for blocking his view of the TV and collapsing the boy's chest, and she failed to report the incident. her boy died in the hospital that morning from complications of the injury. fucking wild.
My SIL is hardcore HR and can’t watch The Office because it’s too frustrating. HR, QA, and marketing can go sit on a tack. HR exists to protect the company and does not give a rat’s hat about the “human capital.” Corpo simp bots. Edit: use a de-esser, narrator. And learn to pronounce indictment.
My former employer had this clique of middle school type "mean girls." Toxic AF. Honestly, was so depressing to see even fiftysomething professional women act like that. They ended up driving one of my coworkers out of the company. That poor girl had to delete all her social media. Every time she started a new FB, somehow the Mean Girls got the password and hijacked it, with predictable results. They would throw office pizza parties, invite everyone but her, and stick her with watching the phones while everybody else had a free lunch. And, this bunch HATED men. Once, that office got assigned two new male employees to fill vacancies. One was a fully trained specialist from another division of the company. The other was a trainee- brilliant, stellar record, aced the internal trainee exam. They were the only male employees in that office. The trained guy quit within three months due to harassment, and they failed the trainee after his first probationary review. I heard they expected the trainee to perform at job level from day one of a two year traineeship, and blamed him for mistakes other employees made. In case you haven't guessed by now, that "mean girl" clique was the HR department.

I was a sorter at a UPS warehouse pre-automation. They are surprisingly strict and a single mis-sort was grounds for termination depending on the shipment type (Saturday delivery was immediate). One of the best and well liked workers mis-sorted ONE single mail bag. The bag is consolidated with 150+ packages. So it counts as 150+ mis-sorts. He was immediately fired, even the top manager was upset for him when he told us, but it was essentially up there with the biggest eff ups in UPS history.
I’m a tour guide in a city tour company. 2 stories come to mind. Story 1: We drive tourists around town with electric carts (think golf cart, but bigger and with seats for 8 people). Those things are SLOW. 25kph is the absolute maximum. So we don’t drive them on freeways and avoid streets with high traffic. That’s not a problem because freeways tend to have no tourist attractions. Typical tour route takes about an hour to complete, including a few stops. This new guy comes in, takes a few tours as a passenger (as required for all new hires), learns all the facts he needs. Then he requests a car to further familiarize himself with the route - just drive it without customers. He says it’s because he has a poor sense of direction. He got the car. He called the manager a few hours later, to say that his battery died. Well, turns out his battery died on the highway. He drove to the far end of the city (the industrial district), through a high speed road tunnel and onto a fucking highway. At no point he thought that something is wrong. In a glorified golf cart it must’ve took hours of driving at 25kph. And on the highway people were probably whizzing past him at 150. It was so ridiculously unsafe. Thank god he didn’t have customers. The vehicle was towed and he was fired on the same day. Story 2: To make if brief: our mechanic murdered one of the other tour guides (who also happened to be his long time friend) over some borrowed money. I don’t mean that figuratively, he literally murdered him, with multiple blunt tool strikes to the head. It was a cold, premeditated, planned out murder. He even planned how he’s going to frame someone else. Everyone was shocked that he was capable of something like that. He was obviously fired. Last time I heard, he was in jail awaiting his murder trial.
Not HR, but I was involved in both cases because I worked in payroll. First one, very senior manager in law enforcement was dismissed after using his government credit card to purchase certain services from certain ladies. Second one, a doctor was dismissed from his public service job because he was working as a GP at the same time; he managed this by applying for (paid) sick leave from the public service, by getting a medical certificate from a GP at another clinic. IOW, he faked an illness to get paid time off work so he could continue working as a GP.
47:08 basically he sent a bunch of traffic to the company's ip address causing it to crash and be unusable think of it like when websites get really laggy cause too many people are trying to use it as once not that hard from what i've been told and i've seen a child do it
I worked at a place that had records upstairs. Banker boxes everywhere on shelves. There was enough space between the two shelves that a guy could pull out 2 boxes, crawl in, and take a nap. I had to find an old order to pull material sizes. He had rolled out the other side and pretending to look for something eventually walked down the stairs. I found his spot where he used a roll of paper towels as a pillow. Never said a word to anybody until this post.
Not necessarily HR, but as a senior developer at a small software company, we had hired a new project manager. Dude was older, and didn't have his own transportation. And so the company allowed him to occasionally borrow the company van. One day, he went to lunch, and was gone for 3 hours. Boss asked me to keep track of him. So I did. I had authority over the surveillance cameras, etc. Dude finally returned, drunk as a skunk, stumbling down the hallway, and stopped while passing my office. He turned and looked at me, and I asked "So where you been?" - "HAH! You wanna know where I'VE BEEN?!" Scuffed, and kept on stumbling down to his office. Per boss' instructions, I went downstairs and called him to inform him dude arrived. Boss told me to check the cameras - when dude left and came back (which was around 3 hours). While I was reviewing the camera footage, dude comes stumbling into the room, asking WTF I'm doing. I tell him "My job". He goes on a rant, and starts yelling inches from my face, where I could smell the strong alcohol on his breath. He says "You can watch everyone else around here, but NOT ME!!!!" I ended up hiding in another part of the building and called bossman, explained the situation, and he had a few of our labor guys at the time escort him out of the building, and a ride home. I guess it doesn't help that he found out that I found out he was known for door-to-door insurance scams...
Host, if you don't know how to pronounce a word (e.g. "indictment"), dictionaries include pronunciation guides for every word, and some online dictionaries have sound files.
Not HR, but related: Working fast food. One of assistant managers found he could get better pay at a rival fast food chain. Not a problem, that's the business. *On his last day,* he decides to take the sharp, kinda pricey kitchen knives, some cardboard boxes, and starts chucking the knives into the cardboard. While on the clock. ... So he got fired (possibly retroactively) and we informed the rival restaurant _why._ Don't remember clearly, but this bizarre decision on his part may have cost him *both* jobs.
the saddest firing ive ever encountered during my work career was when i was a teenager and worked in a grocery store. we had a cashier who was a nice lady and good employee but had fallen on very hard times financially. her husband left her, she had multiple kids to support, didnt have a car, and worked a low paying job. one day around thanksgiving she stole a $25 gift certificate from her register just to help feed her family for the holidays. (if youre not old like me, gift cards actually used to just be certificates printed on pieces of paper that you handed in to a cashier when you wanted to use them.) the reason she gave for stealing the gift certificate was that she felt like it hurt the store less than had she stolen money from her register. i think she was generally a goodhearted person who wouldnt ever steal from her company under normal circumstances. unfortunately for her, all the gift certificates had individual barcodes on them so they were easily trackable. she was caught when she tried to use it and it came up as already cashed by her cashier id. had she just taken money out of her register, she never would have gotten caught and nobody would have suspected her since she was a good cashier. ofc they had to fire her. really heartbreaking stuff.
Right after I graduated high school (20+yrs ago) I got a job at a small telemarketing company that sold aluminum siding over the phone. The Office was an auto dialer setup with a desk and chair inside of a cubicle among many other cubicles in one large room. The auto dialer computer would dial the number for you and you would just read the script displayed on the monitor into the headset. Now this computer was running a DOS program; very old stuff even for back then. I discovered that by pressing control-A on the keyboard I could set an appointment for the auto dialer; the appt screen that popped up would let me enter any phone number along with other relevant information, as if the customer had requested a call back at a later date. I used this feature to schedule calls to my girlfriend during my shifts, she is my wife now and we are getting ready to celebrate our 10-year anniversary 😅 [more in comments below if you're interested]
The reason this is an HR thing is because I had a clear line of sight to my Manager's desk and could see when he was monitoring us because then he would have his headset on too. My manager "Jesse" also had a severe nicotine addiction, and would spend a lot of his time on the other side of the glass office doors to the outside entrance, chain smoking away. Now I could set these 'reminder calls' to my GF to happen the very next minute if I wanted to so we would chat often, sometimes having short convos or very long ones. (Cell phones didn't exist yet) Soon my neighbors/coworkers in the other cubicles started to figure out what was going on and asked me how I "hacked" the auto-dialer. I played it mysterious and acted like IDK what they were talking about. One lady threated to go tell Jesse what I was doing but my sales numbers were better than hers; of course I still did my job and only talked to my GF when the coast was clear. My GF knew what was going on the whole time during my work calls. I remember talking to her one time, and my co-worker stands up in a huff, and goes outside to get Jesse. He puts his cig out and goes to his desk to type some stuff into his PC and put his headset on. I immediately went into my sales script with my GF on the phone. She totally played the part of a prospective customer! She sounded interested over the phone, asked lots of questions etc It was perfect! Once we get a fish on the hook we are supposed to transfer the call over to a 'closer' to take payment details and setup install etc. She went thru all that pretending to be on board until she 'let slip' that she was renting the house and not the homeowner lol her acting was amazing and Jesse genuinely thought that it was a good sales call. Not my fault that she didn't disclose she was a renter before... My point is, follow your heart before you follow the guidelines of some corporation!
After remembering all that, to clarify, it was a company that sold Vinyl siding, not aluminum siding. Vinyl siding is SO much better- don't get me started- I still remember all the sales pitch's :P a year or so after the above incident, my GF at the time was looking for a job and she applied and was hired at the same telemarketing place LOL
What I learned from this: lie on your resume, apologize later 😂😂 No but seriously I have a friend who works as a manager at a fancy restaurant, dude only worked as a server at two other restaurants and that’s the extent of his job experience. Confidence gets you a loonggggg way
The company with the cars they're allowed to finagle and manipulate prices so that they profit but then they employ an employee that's smart enough to profit for themselves will all of a sudden it's a crime.. nan fuck this country
You're only allowed to do things to profit for these fictitious companies you're not allowed to profit for yourself you can only be a slave and work for the amount of money that they want to give you you can't do anything within the permission and the authority that you have to gain yourself some money that makes you a criminal like I said before fuck america
46:48 this guy who claimed he hacked the FBI is full of crap. Low Orbit Ion Cannon is a beginner level DDOSing program that anyone can use as long as they have an IP address to use it on. All it does is send a bunch of useless information to the target and overwhelm it with requests so it stops working. That’s like saying you’re the wolf of wall street when all you did was fake some numbers in photoshop.
Story 56 I was starting to wonder where they were getting these IT guys. Sounds like there was something wrong with the apples and the tree. Not sure HR could save that.
i really enjoyed this video, it's insightful to hear these stories. however, i can't help but wonder if some firings are more about the company's culture rather than individual performance. it seems like the approach could benefit from more empathy and understanding, don’t you think?
If I was her in the first one I would fire him, but not report him. As for the second one I think it’s unnecessary to fire someone you already hired over a background check, especially if they were a good worker, I just don’t see the point. Not a big fan of the whole “criminal record making someone unable to be hired” concept. Huge respect to companies that don’t do that
The car salesman thing is true my girlfriend used to work for a car dealership when she was 18 and one salesman always talked to her she said how she always wanted a jeep he offered to take her for a ride in one on lunch break. Right before break he was like and then we can go somewhere secluded and have some fun
OK, I have to say this... I prefer this channel because it's not Minecraft all the time and when the videos loop it's not really that noticable, in fact most times you just switch to footage of a different game but some youtube channels use the exact same minecraft footage looped over and over again in every video of theirs...
Speaking about the story at 5:45: I don't get why having notes like that is a fire able offence. I'm pretty sure that writing notes or letters about/to people that make you upset is a known therapeutic technique.
i really enjoyed this video and the candid stories shared. it's interesting how different perspectives can change our views on tough situations. but honestly, i wonder if recounting these firings is more about catharsis for the HR workers than helping others learn. sometimes it feels like we focus too much on the negative experiences rather than addressing how to support employees better in the first place. what do you all think?
Story 14 doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe I can get the guy being stupid enough to list his work place in the contact info (though you would have to be INCREDIBLY stupid), but who just transfers a random person to the president of the company just because they asked?
Sorry but can we pause for a second and think about how f*cked up it is that you can't fire certain people just because they are a minority ? So just because you are a diabled veteran i can't fire you even though you slept with two of your subordinates (abuse of his power) and cancelled a contract because the contractor refuses to give in to your ridiculous demand ? Wtf is wrong with that system !? I though in the USA you are employed "at will" meaning both parties can fire/quit without need to give notice or a reason ! And here we had a fricking good reason !!
At my job, we didn't have a head of HR for about 15 years. That last one..... I'm gonna bring up race because it's a part of what happened. He was a white guy in his 40s at the time. My coworker is a black lady. Trust me when I say, u DON'T want to piss her off. Well, during a meeting with my department about the mass layoffs and bumping, he used a racist term when addressing my coworker. She flew across the table at him. If he didn't push his chair back, she would have hurt him. And rightfully so if u ask me. This is the same guy that did nothing when a guy would not work, just watch p*rn on the work computer all day, in full view of his female coworkers. The inner works of a library......
The immigrant kid who stole card information, he did not do that alone, he's sent into the country by his group specifically for their operation. His job would be gather card information, sometimes they would come in with stacks of card skimming devices smuggled in their luggage as well. Then he just pass the information to his group at home and immediately in minutes they would have the money transferred to their local bank and cash withdrawn at an atm or credit cards used up to purchase electronics or products that are easily resold online.
38:09 Story 41. The perfume thing I can actually get behind, as I'm allergic to certain types of perfume, giving me nauseating migraines after a few seconds. The sandals part though... Just wear noise cancelling headphones.
I worked with a woman, RIP, who was allergic to Axe Body spray. We work retail and Axe is a product we stocked. Whenever I smelled Axe, I'd yell for her to get away. If she was unlucky, she'd have to use her EpiPen. She wouldn't be able to speak the rest of the shift.

there was a woman at our company in her 50s, never married and quite lonely, who got it into her head that the head of accounts was secretly flirting with her. poor guy was happily married and was just pleasant to everyone at the office, but she took his cheerful "good morning" to mean "I love you".
anyway at some point she had a breakdown, started crying and screaming at him in front of the whole department about when he was going to leave his wife for her. she was let go a few days later.

@@extremchiller410 Back in the day (circa 1990) I was a handsome, intelligent 22 year old with a steady job who had near zero luck with girls. Then I bought a well used Ford custom van. Candy apple red, bumpers and wheels body color, spoiler, paneling, carpet, four Captain's chairs and a sofa bed, the works. Shined it up inside and out, and it was gorgeous (Total lemon though.) All of a sudden, I had a ton of girls- YOUNG girls- wanting to go for a ride. WTF? I'm the same guy I was last week! The worst one was my fire chief's jailbait niece. He took me aside and said "You know how old she is, right?" "Oh, yeah- but thanks for the warning!" Honestly, a carton of cigs, a cooler of beer, and I could have been a redneck Hugh Hefner.

As a security guard, I fully believe almost all of these. You’d be surprised the shit people do while at work

Thanks for weathering the storm of complaints new narrator... you're doing a great job!

Well it also helps that this guy isn't the one with bad takes. The other deep voice guy says sexist stuff.
@@jackskudlarek3138yea they seem to have the same green face to identify when they’re talking, that along with the fact they sound similar at times probably makes people think they’re the same person unfortunately. There are three narrators, but some seem to think there are only 2 because of that

@@Anjuly. LOL Granddad told me the same thing. "Some people will put more effort into avoiding work than it takes to do it in the first place." That being said, even though Granddad was one of the hardest working people (smarter, not harder) I ever met, he had tons of quotes like "Hard work pays off eventually; laziness pays off right now." and "Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can put off 'til next week."

I met an HR manager once who had to deal with a bomb threat.
The employees who made the fake threat had used a throwaway email address with a domain that got automatically sent to her spam folder, so she didn't actually discover the threat until days after the bomb was supposed to have gone off. She hired private detectives to investigate the threat (surprised at how unfazed the detectives were about the case, apparently this was normal for them), and two employees who suspiciously quit the day after the threat was made were caught and charged.
That note taking one sounds like something you learn in a anger management class as a way to vent safely.
Honestly yeah, it sounded to me more or less equivalent to firing someone after reading their diary
its also used in psycho therapy as a valve to get negativ things out of your brain. mlike stressors or negativ emotions.
The note taking and crumbling it is an anger management technique, but you're supposed to throw it away to symbolize letting go of your anger. It's a way to give yourself a minute to think about consequences and make better choices. The problem is holding on to them. If you keep revisiting petty rage incidents you're at risk of losing control.
It was perfectly acceptable to fire the guy in a job requiring a security clearance for inadvertently driving a car with a gun in it onto a military base. You should be sweeping your car interior for anything before taking it on base. It's entirely possible for there to have been anything planted in there which he didn't check. Explosives, hacking equipment, etc. They deemed him a security risk. It was about far more than the gun itself
Depending on his exact position, experience and training, a firing could still be unreasonable. Nothing bad came out of the situation and the guy was clearly willing to immediately escalate due to his mistake. This could have been a lesson in "your vehicles aren't outside smugglers' reach", but it was "don't work for the government / lie to your boss" instead.
Unless he was clearly and unambiguously instructed to check for those exact things, in which case yeah, say "goodbye" to the job you're bad at
You are explicitly told to check your vehicle for tampering or specific things you aren't allowed. Any government contract that requires security clearance and performed on secure property this is covered repeatedly, including swearing in writing that you understand. There's no exceptions.
@@FiksIIanzO He's not being asked to dismantle the vehicle or even look underneath it. This was a weapon in a box in the vehicle trunk, an obvious location to look. You have suspicious packages checked out, you agree to that when you get every level of security clearance for every cleared job when you get read in. Every person whose ever had a clearance will tell you that this was a justified firing. Only people authorized to bring a firearm on base are those who are explicitly authorized, and that includes military service members
@@redjoker365 Or maybe it was complete BS like 90% of the cautionary tales the military likes to throw around.
Story 1 is already bizarre. Why did the engineer buy a bride he couldn’t bring home? What was his long term plan? Did he not think he’d get caught? And they have a nap room at work? Actually that last one is reasonable. Hope story 7’s second guy got better. Sounds like he had some anger issues.
First Story about loving trafficing...ok lets see where this goes
I bet he did it while drunk or something and never thought it would happen, and wrote the money off.. until she arrived.
Talk about an impulse purchase :D
I would actually argue that story 7’s guy was in anger management or counseling and was using the little papers as a therapy tool, a healthy way to process and move on from the moments of anger
Human trafficking. He got a woman under false pretenses who lacked funds; language skills; possession of the passport she flew in on to go home; access to services for the homeless/abuse survivors/trafficking victims. She had no idea how to find safe housing, food, etc outside what he let her have wherever she was told to stay during the day. He bought a s3x slave. He could dump her on the street with still no funds, possibly less clothes etc she packed to go to him, and no way to prove to immigration that she overstayed a visa or had one requiring a wedding in 90 days (iirc) etc. She becomes the illegal immigrant certain press vilify and many law enforcement/judges live to smack down as soon as he gets tired of sneaking in food for her as his grooming of a 17yo is getting him an obedient side piece who will work 60+ hrs minimum wage for her studio apartment and food stamps/food pantries will cover her ramen and her “one luxury” she buys from her labor is the makeup etc that make his prize look good to incel buddies when he drags her on a “date” where she plays waitress to his group…
My wife used to be head of HR at one of the Top 100 roofing companies where I also worked in management. And honestly half of all these Are barely even all that bad.
Just some of the top stories:
One guy who had been with us for a few months went through a pretty harsh divorce and never changed his direct deposit, and so the week after everything is finalized he finally realizes that all that money is now going to an account that she's in control. He comes in the day after payday to get to resolve it, and when he's told it may take a day to process, he went after accounting with a knife.
I literally lost count of how many times somebody got fired for peeing or pooping on a roof, off the edge of a roof, behind a dumpster, inside the dumpster, inside the company truck into a bag, etcetera. We provided 1 toilet per 8 people every job without fail. Usually loaded onto the roof for convenience.
This one is kind of sad because the guy just wasn't all there. Absolute great guy, very good at the job and smart when it came to construction, but had never finished high school and had issues when it came to reading and writing. One day he is doing QA on a large military job and write "wrap pipe" on every pipe. Except he thought it was spelled "rape pipe". A core engineer spotted it, escalated it, and threatened a 20 million dollar plus contract and forced us to fire a disabled person for spelling something wrong.
I could probably write a novel on the drug issues not to mention how many times we've caught somebody having sex on the roof. Stealing materials was common
But the one sexual encounter I will say really stuck out what is when we discovered a hole drilled into the side of one of our toilets and then taped up. Almost text book glory hole. Portajohn glory hole.
It's bad enough when people show up to places like gentlemen's clubs in uniform, but we had a guy get busted on a prostitution sting while still in his company shirt. On the 5pm news.
Telling a property owner he'd like to suck on her....
I learned two things: some people can be very good at their jobs while doing something really bad, and some people can do some things that are really stupid!
That magazine story had me cackling - Why roll around in them? Humans are strange.
And nasty! I'm surprised they approved his unemployment claim. 😮

Fetishes are expensive, I really appreciate the audacity of filing for insurance. Also the immediate understanding that no further words needed to be said. There's a camera, the only reason for you to be uncomfortable telling me this is you know. I know you know. You know I know you know. Bye.
all i could think was '...did he just fuck the floor?'
The last one *really* gave me the creeps. Well, quite a few of them gave me the creeps, but the last one was so incredibly violating in a way that is very hard to describe, at least to me :) Great video, peepz!
It mostly just gave me nausea because _ugh wtf why_ ? 🤢
I love this narrator and the stories thanks for the content
Heh I like this narrator. "NOSE GOES!"😂
This is my favorite Reddit story channel because of the human narrators (TTS narrator channels suck. Painful to listen to), and it’s great listening content while I’m at work. Love the longer ones videos with more stories especially!
For story 63: that's bad bdsm, particularly a bad Dom. No matter how thoroughly in your life the dynamic is held, you do NOT use it in ways that have direct, predictable negative consequences for your sub. And you do NOT perform in a setting without consent from EVERYONE present.
Not in the HR department, but this was THE hot gossip for… a while at my job. We had a mass firing of six or seven people. One was the supervisor of the shift on the grounds that he should have known what was going on and gotten it handled. (A pity, he was a cool guy.) One was a guy who was peripherally involved in some way. Never did figure out exactly how. And the rest were a group who had all been having orgies together.
Which would have been fine (probably) except they were having them AT WORK. They got found out when one guy was literally caught with his pants down on a security camera.
How has this not got more attention!!!! Crazy

30:25 I have a motor neuron disease, a Rare Disease whose highest researcher has the genetic condition. He tested such a device. Because muscles can be a mix of atrophied and spastic, when unused, it wouldn’t work for him. Had it been available earlier and used regularly the regular movement could have lessened the muscle response to a lack of signals
My coworkers are all so boring/sane and our HR department is great, thank goodness. I've brought pets to work but only under dire circumstances--a cat I found on my way to work; bottle kittens; etc.--and they were contained.
To think that kid in story two was literally given a job on a silver platter just to ruin his opportunity by stealing very large sums money
Wow you’re smart!
Story two is the perfect example of just because someone appears innocent doesn't mean yhey are.
I don’t get people who get caught doing shady stuff on company devices. It’s just stupid. If you’re going to slack off (or jack off…) on the clock, use your personal phone and get off the company wifi. This seems like common sense, and the worst I’ve ever done is online shopping and occasionally reading some slightly embarrassing stuff (ok and the time I watched castlevania in the back of the room while essentially being a babysitter), and even then I either use a vpn or cell data. Never assume you have privacy (and that includes your personal devices if you have a work monitoring/security app on there)
What happened was so many companies had these policies on the books pretty much since sexual harassment lawsuits and Internet-connected offices became a thing, but hardly enforced them. As a sysadmin, my coworker and I went to our boss to review the weekly firewall report, and said that there was an engineer watching adult content on his work computer. It didn't infect it (most of those sites don't actually have any malware by the strictest definition, just a lot of ads). That engineer, however, was considered too valuable that we were told to keep that info to ourselves for the time being until the guy became a problem. Now if someone walked in on him and saw it open on his screen, that would be a different story, but he had a private office. Place was a medium-size company with mostly the founder's family in executive positions
You would be surprised by how many people utterly lack any kind of knowledge about computers/technology/internet/etc despite the fact that most jobs are tied to technology these days
Using personal devices and staying off company Wi-Fi should be common sense if you're going to do anything that isn't work-related.
@@cur1ouscatf1sh my dad was a chemistry professor. For a few years, he and the other science profs had many positive interactions with the janitor, whose shift ended an hour before people who need to have all the equipment and supplies ready for their labs that day (not uncommon for him to leave at 5 AM. Due to illness I did my History degree there while living at home and thus so did I).
He had the master key to all the offices.
All the computers had to be gone through with a fine toothed comb. This happened when I was in high school but I had a nodding acquaintance with the science faculty (except the theoretical physicist who might have been theoretical for all I knew. I think he left before I enrolled, or faded into black matter). The consensus seemed to be they didn’t want to know beyond the charges pressed.
@@destinygalearies7382this includes younger generations. Just because you know how to drive a car or device doesn't mean you have the slightest idea how it works.
The second-to-last one scared me. I thought he was saying the woman was dead at work.
I used to work at a bit of a small company, and I remember one time the CEO got caught hooking up with his male assistant in his office. Assistant only got a slap on the wrist and years later they got married. I still keep in touch with em.
Woww. It’s a surreal situation where HR had to address not just workplace issues, but personal ones spilling into the office.
8:39: This is why documentation is very important. With proper documentation, you could definitely prove that the firing was not for a discriminatory reason. I've had a couple of agents at my job try to pull that card. No, we're not firing you because you're (insert minority group here), we're firing you because you had absolutely horrible quality scores for several months, that sort of thing.
That first one is disgusting. I hope they called the police on him. Women like that are lured with false promises of marriage, and they are often completely dependent on their 'groom'.
Paper cuts 😂🤣😂
Story 18: That termination for being 17 at joining 30 years prior-

@@TheOmegaXicorThis one bothered me too.
Context.
I had to rewind it to see the subtitles (I most times just listen) and was hoping that it said marital but the human narrator accidentally mixed up the letters and pronounced it martial.
Then when I saw 'martial' I thought, an A.I. could have read that. No need for a non-A.I. to bother.
Then I laughed at myself a very little bit because it's a video of someone reading stories from another site's threads for us.
For our entertainment.
Then I thought:
Context and active reasoning while reading aloud (which is different and can be challenging)versus reading the words as written verbatim would be preferable.
And last thought,
thank you Narrator and team for what you do 😊
@@amandapatrick827the second pronunciation is the right one in most countries so.
I work in a hospital kitchen. Kid incorrectly put in a time off request. He noticed he didn’t get it off and told one of our coworkers how bummed he was he didn’t get it off. He worked like normal for a week and then disappeared. He wouldn’t answer his phone or social media apps or the like for three days. Where I work, you can only no call no show without reason two days before termination, but due to his age we gave him a courtesy day. We didn’t hear from him for two weeks when he walked into work ready to roll. He took his vacation anyway, without finding cover or telling our manager, and thought he’d have a job when he came back two weeks later. No one even knew until after he came back that he incorrectly made his time off request. Needless to say, he did not get to keep his job.
39:36 "Hot dog, how do I get one of those?" - Dude, just go to the store, or the street corner, or literally any fast food place... what a weird question.
(Yes, I know it was taken out of context. It was also a joke)
This happened about two weeks ago before I came in for my shift at work. One of the inbound early morning workers was allegedly drunk and high and ran out of the place i work and tried to kidnap a child from the dance studio near by and then tried to steal a car in the process. Also the week at that co-worker got fired for harassing other employees sum under 18. He got fired form both of his jobs for doing the same thing at the other job.
I’m an elevator mechanic. Story 15 made me laugh
24:39 I think we need more context. 120 km/h is about 75 mph, which would be perfectly acceptable on certain roads. Although.... Snapchatting while driving is kinda moronic too, I guess.
Ooooh I have one!! I had to fire one of my girls (staff member from a team of around 35 employees) Bc I figured out she was stealing pain medication from my purse. I was so shocked. She was around 23 and I didn’t want to ruin her future, but upon confronting her, getting back the meds I had left, and firing her, I made her sign a full confession with witnesses. I wanted to be able to have it documented in case anything else happened, but wanted to avoid jail time for her if I could.
Two years later I suddenly got an email from another company wanting a fucking job reference!! I completed the document honestly, laughing the whole time. “Why did this employee leave your company?” *She was fired for theft* “Would this employee be rehired if they desired?” *Yeahhh no. Absolutely not* “Did the employee receive any disciplinary action or is there anything else you believe we should consider before considering employment?” *Why yes! Thank you for asking! She stole controlled substances from my purse- her boss- in a private office area, committing tresspassing, theft, and possession of controlled substances without a prescription all at once. We did not report her, but she was told- in writing- we would be honest if anyone contacted us as a reference*
She was pretty damn slick covering up her apparent addiction and honestly was a great thief (I only caught her Bc I knew exactly how many pills I had before she stole and I deduced she was the only one who went into my office when I was in the bathroom). But when it came to actual common sense, she was seriously lacking. She was a very sweet girl though and, all things considered, I hope she’s doing well.
was working at a call center in Tigard, OR, when the cops came in to arrest a woman I'd been in training with, her boyfriend had kicked her son in the chest for blocking his view of the TV and collapsing the boy's chest, and she failed to report the incident. her boy died in the hospital that morning from complications of the injury. fucking wild.
My SIL is hardcore HR and can’t watch The Office because it’s too frustrating. HR, QA, and marketing can go sit on a tack. HR exists to protect the company and does not give a rat’s hat about the “human capital.” Corpo simp bots.

My former employer had this clique of middle school type "mean girls." Toxic AF. Honestly, was so depressing to see even fiftysomething professional women act like that. They ended up driving one of my coworkers out of the company. That poor girl had to delete all her social media. Every time she started a new FB, somehow the Mean Girls got the password and hijacked it, with predictable results. They would throw office pizza parties, invite everyone but her, and stick her with watching the phones while everybody else had a free lunch.
And, this bunch HATED men. Once, that office got assigned two new male employees to fill vacancies. One was a fully trained specialist from another division of the company. The other was a trainee- brilliant, stellar record, aced the internal trainee exam. They were the only male employees in that office. The trained guy quit within three months due to harassment, and they failed the trainee after his first probationary review. I heard they expected the trainee to perform at job level from day one of a two year traineeship, and blamed him for mistakes other employees made.
In case you haven't guessed by now, that "mean girl" clique was the HR department.
“I don’t consume that type of content” yea… sure you don’t 🤣
The guy in story 19 makes me feel bad. He gave his life to the company, and got it all taken away over a tiff with the manager
Getting fired for taking a cup after working there for 8 years is wild. Sounds like they were just itching for an excuse.
Hey quick question, I’ve been watching this channel since the beginning and was wondering the reason behind the introduction of new narrators, (Not that I don’t like the other narrators just curious) I honestly think you guys are the best Reddit channel out there, keep up the good work!
The videos used to be 20 mins and now they're 50-65 mins, it's a huge workload so it helps 💪
@@UnderSparked Thank you for the response, I noticed and appreciate the longer videos as they are easy to just put on and let pay or use as background noise. I never considered the increased work load though, keep the good work!
46:48 Not to be that nerd, but DDOSing with that method is incredibly simple (and I will not elaborate further as doing that is pretty illegal and immoral) - he's about as smart as his decision-making skills imply
The girlfriend thing is probably true though
TLDR he used some stuff and things to spam the company with so much data that their network had its spine snapped like Bane did to Batman
Isn't there even some site that basically outsources the DDOSing for you? I vaguely remember it being a thing during the whole "anonymous vs Scientology" arc of the internet.

I was a sorter at a UPS warehouse pre-automation. They are surprisingly strict and a single mis-sort was grounds for termination depending on the shipment type (Saturday delivery was immediate).
One of the best and well liked workers mis-sorted ONE single mail bag. The bag is consolidated with 150+ packages. So it counts as 150+ mis-sorts.
He was immediately fired, even the top manager was upset for him when he told us, but it was essentially up there with the biggest eff ups in UPS history.
I’m a tour guide in a city tour company.
2 stories come to mind.
Story 1:
We drive tourists around town with electric carts (think golf cart, but bigger and with seats for 8 people).
Those things are SLOW. 25kph is the absolute maximum.
So we don’t drive them on freeways and avoid streets with high traffic.
That’s not a problem because freeways tend to have no tourist attractions.
Typical tour route takes about an hour to complete, including a few stops.
This new guy comes in, takes a few tours as a passenger (as required for all new hires), learns all the facts he needs.
Then he requests a car to further familiarize himself with the route - just drive it without customers. He says it’s because he has a poor sense of direction. He got the car.
He called the manager a few hours later, to say that his battery died.
Well, turns out his battery died on the highway.
He drove to the far end of the city (the industrial district), through a high speed road tunnel and onto a fucking highway. At no point he thought that something is wrong.
In a glorified golf cart it must’ve took hours of driving at 25kph.
And on the highway people were probably whizzing past him at 150.
It was so ridiculously unsafe. Thank god he didn’t have customers. The vehicle was towed and he was fired on the same day.
Story 2:
To make if brief: our mechanic murdered one of the other tour guides (who also happened to be his long time friend) over some borrowed money.
I don’t mean that figuratively, he literally murdered him, with multiple blunt tool strikes to the head.
It was a cold, premeditated, planned out murder. He even planned how he’s going to frame someone else.
Everyone was shocked that he was capable of something like that.
He was obviously fired.
Last time I heard, he was in jail awaiting his murder trial.
Story 19 is just an example of how evil and petty some ppl can be...
I love this narrarator. I don't know why people are hating on him!😊
Not HR, but I was involved in both cases because I worked in payroll. First one, very senior manager in law enforcement was dismissed after using his government credit card to purchase certain services from certain ladies. Second one, a doctor was dismissed from his public service job because he was working as a GP at the same time; he managed this by applying for (paid) sick leave from the public service, by getting a medical certificate from a GP at another clinic. IOW, he faked an illness to get paid time off work so he could continue working as a GP.
47:08 basically he sent a bunch of traffic to the company's ip address causing it to crash and be unusable think of it like when websites get really laggy cause too many people are trying to use it as once not that hard from what i've been told and i've seen a child do it

I worked at a place that had records upstairs. Banker boxes everywhere on shelves. There was enough space between the two shelves that a guy could pull out 2 boxes, crawl in, and take a nap. I had to find an old order to pull material sizes. He had rolled out the other side and pretending to look for something eventually walked down the stairs. I found his spot where he used a roll of paper towels as a pillow. Never said a word to anybody until this post.
Not necessarily HR, but as a senior developer at a small software company, we had hired a new project manager. Dude was older, and didn't have his own transportation. And so the company allowed him to occasionally borrow the company van. One day, he went to lunch, and was gone for 3 hours. Boss asked me to keep track of him. So I did. I had authority over the surveillance cameras, etc. Dude finally returned, drunk as a skunk, stumbling down the hallway, and stopped while passing my office. He turned and looked at me, and I asked "So where you been?" - "HAH! You wanna know where I'VE BEEN?!" Scuffed, and kept on stumbling down to his office. Per boss' instructions, I went downstairs and called him to inform him dude arrived. Boss told me to check the cameras - when dude left and came back (which was around 3 hours).
While I was reviewing the camera footage, dude comes stumbling into the room, asking WTF I'm doing. I tell him "My job". He goes on a rant, and starts yelling inches from my face, where I could smell the strong alcohol on his breath. He says "You can watch everyone else around here, but NOT ME!!!!"
I ended up hiding in another part of the building and called bossman, explained the situation, and he had a few of our labor guys at the time escort him out of the building, and a ride home.
I guess it doesn't help that he found out that I found out he was known for door-to-door insurance scams...
Host, if you don't know how to pronounce a word (e.g. "indictment"), dictionaries include pronunciation guides for every word, and some online dictionaries have sound files.

Not HR, but related:
Working fast food. One of assistant managers found he could get better pay at a rival fast food chain. Not a problem, that's the business. *On his last day,* he decides to take the sharp, kinda pricey kitchen knives, some cardboard boxes, and starts chucking the knives into the cardboard. While on the clock.
...
So he got fired (possibly retroactively) and we informed the rival restaurant _why._ Don't remember clearly, but this bizarre decision on his part may have cost him *both* jobs.
34:54 -Apparently, so was the user!😅
I wanna know what happened to cause that medic to punch the patient
Indictment is pronounced "in-dight-ment".
"Woof!... No pun intended! (Snicker)." 🤣
the saddest firing ive ever encountered during my work career was when i was a teenager and worked in a grocery store. we had a cashier who was a nice lady and good employee but had fallen on very hard times financially. her husband left her, she had multiple kids to support, didnt have a car, and worked a low paying job. one day around thanksgiving she stole a $25 gift certificate from her register just to help feed her family for the holidays. (if youre not old like me, gift cards actually used to just be certificates printed on pieces of paper that you handed in to a cashier when you wanted to use them.)
the reason she gave for stealing the gift certificate was that she felt like it hurt the store less than had she stolen money from her register. i think she was generally a goodhearted person who wouldnt ever steal from her company under normal circumstances. unfortunately for her, all the gift certificates had individual barcodes on them so they were easily trackable. she was caught when she tried to use it and it came up as already cashed by her cashier id. had she just taken money out of her register, she never would have gotten caught and nobody would have suspected her since she was a good cashier. ofc they had to fire her. really heartbreaking stuff.
Right after I graduated high school (20+yrs ago) I got a job at a small telemarketing company that sold aluminum siding over the phone. The Office was an auto dialer setup with a desk and chair inside of a cubicle among many other cubicles in one large room. The auto dialer computer would dial the number for you and you would just read the script displayed on the monitor into the headset. Now this computer was running a DOS program; very old stuff even for back then. I discovered that by pressing control-A on the keyboard I could set an appointment for the auto dialer; the appt screen that popped up would let me enter any phone number along with other relevant information, as if the customer had requested a call back at a later date.
I used this feature to schedule calls to my girlfriend during my shifts, she is my wife now and we are getting ready to celebrate our 10-year anniversary 😅 [more in comments below if you're interested]
The reason this is an HR thing is because I had a clear line of sight to my Manager's desk and could see when he was monitoring us because then he would have his headset on too. My manager "Jesse" also had a severe nicotine addiction, and would spend a lot of his time on the other side of the glass office doors to the outside entrance, chain smoking away.
Now I could set these 'reminder calls' to my GF to happen the very next minute if I wanted to so we would chat often, sometimes having short convos or very long ones. (Cell phones didn't exist yet) Soon my neighbors/coworkers in the other cubicles started to figure out what was going on and asked me how I "hacked" the auto-dialer. I played it mysterious and acted like IDK what they were talking about. One lady threated to go tell Jesse what I was doing but my sales numbers were better than hers; of course I still did my job and only talked to my GF when the coast was clear. My GF knew what was going on the whole time during my work calls.
I remember talking to her one time, and my co-worker stands up in a huff, and goes outside to get Jesse. He puts his cig out and goes to his desk to type some stuff into his PC and put his headset on. I immediately went into my sales script with my GF on the phone. She totally played the part of a prospective customer! She sounded interested over the phone, asked lots of questions etc It was perfect!
Once we get a fish on the hook we are supposed to transfer the call over to a 'closer' to take payment details and setup install etc. She went thru all that pretending to be on board until she 'let slip' that she was renting the house and not the homeowner lol her acting was amazing and Jesse genuinely thought that it was a good sales call. Not my fault that she didn't disclose she was a renter before...
My point is, follow your heart before you follow the guidelines of some corporation!
After remembering all that, to clarify, it was a company that sold Vinyl siding, not aluminum siding. Vinyl siding is SO much better- don't get me started- I still remember all the sales pitch's :P
a year or so after the above incident, my GF at the time was looking for a job and she applied and was hired at the same telemarketing place LOL
68 stories...we were so close
What I learned from this: lie on your resume, apologize later 😂😂
No but seriously I have a friend who works as a manager at a fancy restaurant, dude only worked as a server at two other restaurants and that’s the extent of his job experience. Confidence gets you a loonggggg way
As a former hub tech employee, I can indeed there are indeed critics!
The company with the cars they're allowed to finagle and manipulate prices so that they profit but then they employ an employee that's smart enough to profit for themselves will all of a sudden it's a crime.. nan fuck this country
You're only allowed to do things to profit for these fictitious companies you're not allowed to profit for yourself you can only be a slave and work for the amount of money that they want to give you you can't do anything within the permission and the authority that you have to gain yourself some money that makes you a criminal like I said before fuck america
46:48 this guy who claimed he hacked the FBI is full of crap. Low Orbit Ion Cannon is a beginner level DDOSing program that anyone can use as long as they have an IP address to use it on. All it does is send a bunch of useless information to the target and overwhelm it with requests so it stops working. That’s like saying you’re the wolf of wall street when all you did was fake some numbers in photoshop.
Ahh, that's the name of a program? Thanks, I was wondering what tf ions had to do with anything.
Story 56 I was starting to wonder where they were getting these IT guys. Sounds like there was something wrong with the apples and the tree. Not sure HR could save that.
Lol I got plenty of elevator keys for my building probably because I work maintenance 😂 now I know the best hiding place
i really enjoyed this video, it's insightful to hear these stories. however, i can't help but wonder if some firings are more about the company's culture rather than individual performance. it seems like the approach could benefit from more empathy and understanding, don’t you think?
The things people do at work.....crazy
Okay, I can't listen to this.
Also, 3:30
...under 'in *Richard* ment'...
If I was her in the first one I would fire him, but not report him. As for the second one I think it’s unnecessary to fire someone you already hired over a background check, especially if they were a good worker, I just don’t see the point. Not a big fan of the whole “criminal record making someone unable to be hired” concept. Huge respect to companies that don’t do that
The car salesman thing is true my girlfriend used to work for a car dealership when she was 18 and one salesman always talked to her she said how she always wanted a jeep he offered to take her for a ride in one on lunch break. Right before break he was like and then we can go somewhere secluded and have some fun
Extra martial affairs? I don’t see the problem with people training to defend themselves LMAO 😂
story 3 i hope they gave the person they first fired their job bk or i hope they sued them for wrongful termination
OK, I have to say this... I prefer this channel because it's not Minecraft all the time and when the videos loop it's not really that noticable, in fact most times you just switch to footage of a different game but some youtube channels use the exact same minecraft footage looped over and over again in every video of theirs...
Guy sets up call forwarding from his office phone to a phone x line, then calls the office from home. Surprise surprise, he gets caught.
Okay, so ik that this is narrator 2, but PLEASE FIRE NARRATOR 3 PLEASE I WOULD PAY YOU TO FIRE HIM
Speaking about the story at 5:45: I don't get why having notes like that is a fire able offence. I'm pretty sure that writing notes or letters about/to people that make you upset is a known therapeutic technique.
Real Talk Tho, How Do I Get Ah Severance Like That??😭😭 39:30
11:02 oh there absolutely is there are standers so I’m told at least
told by myself
Story 16: fired? Come on. That a legit funny joke. Inappropriate, absolutely. Write up and warning certainly .
i really enjoyed this video and the candid stories shared. it's interesting how different perspectives can change our views on tough situations. but honestly, i wonder if recounting these firings is more about catharsis for the HR workers than helping others learn. sometimes it feels like we focus too much on the negative experiences rather than addressing how to support employees better in the first place. what do you all think?
Story 14 doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe I can get the guy being stupid enough to list his work place in the contact info (though you would have to be INCREDIBLY stupid), but who just transfers a random person to the president of the company just because they asked?
Ok! Who decided to stop the story's at number 68!? Seriously missed opportunity there.
Sorry but can we pause for a second and think about how f*cked up it is that you can't fire certain people just because they are a minority ? So just because you are a diabled veteran i can't fire you even though you slept with two of your subordinates (abuse of his power) and cancelled a contract because the contractor refuses to give in to your ridiculous demand ? Wtf is wrong with that system !? I though in the USA you are employed "at will" meaning both parties can fire/quit without need to give notice or a reason ! And here we had a fricking good reason !!
5:48 I’m starting to think he shouldn’t have been fired for that
RIP To All The Dead 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Story 45: The moral is, keep your business to yourself, you are your best protection against the company.
Story 15 we just call it work from home these days.
TL;DW lots of people watch corn in the office🤣
At my job, we didn't have a head of HR for about 15 years. That last one..... I'm gonna bring up race because it's a part of what happened. He was a white guy in his 40s at the time. My coworker is a black lady. Trust me when I say, u DON'T want to piss her off. Well, during a meeting with my department about the mass layoffs and bumping, he used a racist term when addressing my coworker. She flew across the table at him. If he didn't push his chair back, she would have hurt him. And rightfully so if u ask me. This is the same guy that did nothing when a guy would not work, just watch p*rn on the work computer all day, in full view of his female coworkers.
The inner works of a library......
The immigrant kid who stole card information, he did not do that alone, he's sent into the country by his group specifically for their operation. His job would be gather card information, sometimes they would come in with stacks of card skimming devices smuggled in their luggage as well. Then he just pass the information to his group at home and immediately in minutes they would have the money transferred to their local bank and cash withdrawn at an atm or credit cards used up to purchase electronics or products that are easily resold online.
38:09 Story 41. The perfume thing I can actually get behind, as I'm allergic to certain types of perfume, giving me nauseating migraines after a few seconds. The sandals part though... Just wear noise cancelling headphones.
I worked with a woman, RIP, who was allergic to Axe Body spray. We work retail and Axe is a product we stocked. Whenever I smelled Axe, I'd yell for her to get away. If she was unlucky, she'd have to use her EpiPen. She wouldn't be able to speak the rest of the shift.
Another ad after having to sit through the first two, at two minutes? Seriously?
Nose goes, I’m not.
Ohh this’ll be great
