What was the oddest thing a Co-Worker has been fired for?

[Kycha]

The company my DH previously worked for was a travel trailer manufacturer. So, when the trailer units were done they had a man that would drive them to customer's all over the country. Well, one day, the police showed up at the office to arrest the company driver. Here he was hiring hookers while on the job. And rather than going to a hotel to do the deed, he was using the beds in the travel trailers. And I am pretty sure he wasn't using his own sheets. Okay, all together now...EWWWWWWW!!!

Okay, now I have to go looking for yesterday's "theft" thread. I have a few stories to add to that one.

We had to fire a stinky woman!

This woman had the worst period smell ever - like if she came near you it made you gag. She insisted she had no problem, refused to use tampons, refused to move to an office, refused to use the air thingy (company provided).

I guess she could not smell it?

While working for a bank, we had a part timer who bought counterfiet 20's from NYC and replaced them in his cash box for real ones. Well every month every teller had their cash box verified, it was a surprise as to when it would happen, but it always happened at least once a month. Turns out he had a really bad gambling habit and was hoping to win a big one to put back those real 20's and remove the fake ones.

We had a temp who was let go after 2 days of work for (1) eating someone else's lunch and (2) telling dirty jokes in the break room. She was wacked!

They KILLED her??? Seems a bit harsh for having lunch and telling a dirty joke...

Yeah Mal, but she was eating this

This is not odd, but illegal. Ok, maybe it is odd.

I had a co-worker who was taking pain patches off patients, boiling them, and drinking the water. She was stealing narcotics in other ways but this was disgusting and cruel.

I am loving this thread. But I must have really led a sheltered life because I have NOTHING even remotely interesting to add!

I used to work for a bookstore. We had a couple of guys get fired for looking at porn on company computers (my manager saw it on the history thing in the computer). We had one girl who literally quit 5 or 6 times and kept coming back. The last time, she left for lunch and never came back. We had another girl who would NOT follow the dress code (it wasn't even that strict- just don't dress like a streetwalker and wear closed toed shoes!). She wouldn't ever do ANYTHING and would take hour long lunches when we only got 30 minutes. She also left at lunch one day and never came back.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

 

[Crankyshank]

I can't tell you guys what one co-worker was banned for, other than he was compulsive about it and George Michael was busted for the same thing.

This person wasn't fired but she caused a sensation:

We had a temp secretary who was obviously a tranvestite (or transexual- I'm not sure if there was an "operation" or not!). "She" was about 6ft 3in and wore a size 13 shoe. "She" wore wigs and skimpy dresses and had an Adam's apple. It was very obvious "she" was a he, word got out about "her" and people would stop by our dept just to take a look at "her"! People would ask us "which bathroom does she use?"

She eventually quit because she didn't like the job!

I probably should have said wacky. She was very strange. I was not in the lunchroom at the time, but heard the story from several people. Another temp was sitting at a table with a group of people. The wacky one grabbed a fork and just went over to the table and started eating this other girl's salad. And she was apparently dropping it all over the floor. They were starting to wonder if she was on something. Then I guess she was getting fairly insistent about telling the dirty joke and meanwhile, there was a supervisor in the room at the next table. She was just very strange.

We had an empoyee once who lasted 4 hours. All he did was tell everybody he saw that his wife was having an affair and that he had not had sex in over 10 years. We all ran when we saw him. I am one of the ones he told.

OMG! Fentanyl tea!!!! People like her are the reason we have to have a witness when we flush the old patches down the toilet. That is just gross!!!!!

The chicken head reminds me of when I was a teenager and I worked in a mom and pop steak house. A cook was fired for deep frying a squirrel he had shot in his backyard. He had already received a warning for hanging scrod (fish) out the zipper of his pants and walking around the kitchen. He was creepy.

I used to lead a sheltered life! Then I started working for unemployment in my state! I've heard one variation or another of these stories over the past decade. Humans are a sick breed!

I wish I could share some of my stories but then I'd be joining the ranks of the unemployed! However, I'm enjoying yours since I can just read and I don't have to make a decision on them.
