Good riddance and good luck to these absolutely delusional and occasional menaces to society! It's a wonder they were hired in the first place.

    Text - TerminalVector 4h We never had to actually fire him (he went to jail and we never heard from him again), but the police once arrived at our office and told us one of our drivers was robbing banks and using truck as his getaway vehicle. It was apparently really effective because he'd cover his company shirt, rob the bank, then uncover it and jump in the truck. Nobody looks twice at truck drivers in uniform. He got away with like 10 heists before he got caught.

    Text - anyyay 6h Obligatory not HR, but I have one: Worked at trendy ad agency that worked with a lot of beverage brands. We had a table in the corner with coffee, tea, etc., as well as several bottles of hard alcohol from clients normally used for Friday afternoon drinks. At 9am on a Monday, the brand new hire, who came highly recommended by the CEO, arrives for their first day of work. He is of course invited to join our traditional 10am Monday all-staff, where we discuss that week's projects,

    Text - czartreck 3h Currently working as a recruiter for a staffing company. This morning, a guy we hired yesterday for an entry carpentry position at 18 dollars per hour called me to let me know he wasn't coming to work monday unless we increased his pay to 40 dollars per hour. I wished him luck with his job search.

    Text - Daviemoo 3h After falling asleep at her desk 3 times in 3 weeks (sackable offence right there anyway but don't get me started) she then told a new person that it was 'not about doing it right just as quick as you can' and I came in from a week of holidays to be taken into the boardroom and listen to what she'd said in a statement read out by one of the other bosses. I couldn't stop my jaw from dropping when they repeated the fast not correct thing and when they told her she was fired I ju

    Text - levenspiel_s 2h No HR, but a mid level manager. We had an employee watching our equipment in a remote base. these were mostly large tanks, but relatively expensive, like $50k each, about half million usd in total. So, one day our guy disappeared. it was strange because he was in the company for about 6 years, and was doing fine. We later found out he sold all the equipment as scrap iron for maybe a few thousand bucks, and disappeared. That completely screwed us because we needed the equip

    Text - effieokay 3h Boss hired a guy to stand at the desk and do simple shit like answer the phone and print receipts. I was training him. Guy is immediately skeezy and starts sending me pathetic messages about how he cant stop thinking about me. "girl I Woke up thiknig of your lucious tits" etc. I discuss with him that this is vastly inappropriate because l am repulsed by him and he is married with two children under age three. THEN the next day he sent me a dick pic AT WORK Usually we need a l

    Text - beerisavegetable 3h While working HR at a hospitality establishment, an about-to-be-terminated-but-didnt-know-it-yet employee realized that their voluntary written statement was in fact not an admonishment of other "lazy"co workers but instead a very racist rant that was going to lead to her own firing, she grabbed the paper, ran away down the hall and ate it. She physically ate the paper, while sprinting down the hall, as if that would stop the firing or leave her eligible for unemployme

    Text - IndependentSource 4h "Not HR but" Couple of employees were sent out for a training to corporate HQ - one male, one female. They took the same flight and took a taxi to go to the hotel from the airport. On the way the guy decided to flirt, and when that did not get him a positive response, tried to grab the female employee. He was let go after a very short investigation with the taxi driver as the witness, for both corporate and the subsequent criminal case

    Text - Cliffy The Red 2h Not HR but when I was a teenager I worked at a Dairy Queen. A middle aged woman who lived on the same street as me started working with us. She was working grill and purposely making mistakes on orders with special request burgers like "ketchup only" or "no mustard" because she knew they'd ask for a new one. She was pocketing the burgers to feed to her dogs because she said she couldn't afford dog food... She only worked there for about 2 weeks before getting caught.
