There’s a listening device in my moms break room at her job (she works In a nursing home) so figured it out by talking about certain things like problems she’d have with other staff or say certain things in that room to test the boss. One day she talked about how they should cook more snickerdoodles for the residents there. The next night, it was on the bill that they make snickerdoodles. Once her co worker went in that room and cursed up a storm, the next day, the worker was in trouble for “swearing to much around the residents” he asked my mom “where did this come from?? I never swear around the residents.” My mom said “it’s from that day you were in the break room cursing up a storm.” After that she is 100% sure there’s something in there, and the boss is listening to everything they say. Weird bitch.

Pass a concrete strength test that failed two of the three data points, but the third was high enough that the average was fine. The very small footbridge broke. They got sued, I quit.

This one dickhead project manager tried to get me to ship already scrapped parts to a customer who was an idiot. It would have been pure profit since the parts would already have been scrapped. I tried to find something that would work and there wasn’t anything. We were at this insane impasse. Him: “You don’t understand. He said that he’d take anything.” Me: “You don’t understand. Nothing will work.” That prick finally hauled me in front of my boss to try to pressure me and get me in trouble. I said, “it’s unethical and I won’t do it. You can do whatever you want but you better not put my name on it and I am going to call the client and tell him that we don’t have anything that will work.” The little bitch stomped out and my boss was mostly amused.

While working on a scrapyard I found police evidence in the scrap. Was asked to outright ignore it. Did so for 24 hours before I came across a disk that contained the interogation of a 12 year old girl, disk made only 2 years before. went silent, collected as many disks as I could spot and turned them in after work. There was a raid the next morning.

I was asked to cut off a doctor from getting new clients in an effort to get them to quit, while at the same time lying to them about why they weren’t getting new clients. I was asked to do this twice with two different doctors. Before I left I told the doctor in question (the other one had already quit) what I had been told to do. It didn’t go well for them. Seriously, just grow up and fire people you don’t like. Don’t do this.

I was trying out every job that was hiring in an effort to “find myself” way back when. I spent exact three days as a senior careiver. First day was training, second day I was sized up by the supervisor to see if I was “cool”, third day I was instructed to steal things from the clients’ homes. Quit on the spot. They were shocked, they thought I seemed like exactly the kind of guy who would want to burglarize the elderly. That was a wake up call in and of itself. I reported them. Nothing came of it. Five or so years later they were shut down for misusing clients’ payment information.

i was told to run a remote overhead crane with only 3 wheels. it carried large coils of rolled up aluminum for Ladle Treatment. The aluminum would swing and cause the missing wheel area to bottom out,,,causing more swing and making it worse. This was moving over my coworkers heads. The foreman told me to keep doing it… i called the safety team and they came up and said “hell no” another foreman came up and ordered me to run it but have everyone clear the area…ok thats sorta safe i guess but killed production. The 2nd foreman later “reminded” me that i hadnt filled out the daily safety inspection. Well, dont mind if i do. Red section “if anything is checked in this area do not operate” lets see…missing wheel, check. mechanical problems, check. The first foreman sees what im doing and says “the wheel is on order its just not here yet” “OK whats that got to do with this liability checklist i was told to fill out?” Back to checklist, ohhh look a write in section. “INOP crane ordered to be run by 3rd foreman” signed me “Smartass Steelworker” the 3rd foreman was the 2nd guy it was 3rd shift. What he didnt know was he didnt comeback to my area for the rest of the night and the checklist was picked up by the General Foreman in the morning when i got off. i came in that night to a shitstorm. The safety team had lost its mind, that paper i filled out went directly to OSHA. That missing wheel showed up in record time and they had been down all day fixing it. I showed up and it had just been certified by the millwrights. TL;DR foreman ordered me to run an unsafe crane then stupidly told me to fill out an OSHA inspection on it. so i did and said he made me do it.

I wrote a script to notify managers, via email at the start of every shift, when an employee of theirs was out of date on their training (safety, haz mat, protocol, etc). After about a week the collective group of managers wanted me to turn it off because they were getting too many notifications. You know, the notifications that their employees shouldn’t be working because their training expired.

Kill the flies/beetles on the salad using a co2 fire extinguisher, when I suggested we wash the salad instead the manager looked horrified..his way was much quicker

I’m an IT Manager 1 – boss wanted to access to upper management emails with no justifiable reason. 2 – same boss wanted to take another employees intellectual property as the companies IP when he didn’t have any right to do so by exploiting a loop hole.

My boss actively encourages us to commit fraud. It’s fantastic, she hates me because I refuse, but she can’t fire me because then she’d have to admit her wrong doings. I love how uncomfortable she is whenever I talk to the owners.

Was guilted into working overtime every damn day eventually burning myself out. Then being written up because I needed a break and they refused my request. I stayed with that company for 10 years and was too young and naive to stand up for myself. They also took an hour out of our paycheck for lunch daily, even if we were forced to work through it. Some shady shit.

Lie to construction inspectors all the time. I finally explained to him, here’s a set of blue prints. I’m going to do the job according to the blue prints. Then I’m going to show the blue prints to the inspector, and then show him what I did, and that it was according to the prints. It’s a simple concept that my boss can’t seem to understand. It’s a game to him. He enjoys getting one over on inspectors.

Call into the phone company as my boss so my boss didn’t have to do the work

I work at a fredmeyer. We had a massive rat infestation, like hundreds and hundreds. We were told to clear out tens of rats nests and dead rats at varying levels of decay. All over the grocery store. Deli, bakery, apparel, in the furniture displays, under the shelving units. You name it. Bet there was a both a dead and live rat there once. No personal protective equipment, no training, no professionals. Just minimum wage employees and plastic sacks full of dead rat bodies.

Relabel food to extend the expiry date. At a fish market. I never used my discount there.
