What's the most you've seen a co-worker do wrong and not get fired?

This past Friday, a guy I work with who lives an hour away from work texts our supervisor at 10am about how he has car trouble and he's trying to get a ride or borrow a car to get to work. First boo-boo, you're supposed to be here at 8am. He ends up not showing up the entire day and never officially calls out of work. By all accounts he should get a no-call no-show.

Monday comes around and he shows up to work, about an hour late, again citing car trouble. The day continues on and he needs to go to another site to do some work and he's left his badge at home, so I have to go with him to scan him in. Luckily the place is 5 minutes away.

Then today, he forgets to ship out a container that should have gone out yesterday but because he forgot his badge he couldn't scan out his shipment and waited until today. He has his badge today but missed meeting the shipping guy at 11am.

All semi-minor stuff, but how many strikes do you get?

I worked with a girl once who just kind of came and went as she pleased. It was at a small local retail store so the only employees were me, her, and the owner.

She was pretty attractive and the owner was a lonely old man who wanted to bang her so she got away with anything she wanted.

Meanwhile, I forgot to initial something that was essentially irrelevant on one invoice on a day when she didn't show up when I did over $13,000 of business for him in one day and unloaded the merchandise from the warehouse (it was a mattress store) and he attempted to slash ALL my commissions for the entire month in half because of the missing initials.

After a tense conversation he relented but it was also clear that we both thought it was time for me to move on. He was kind enough to allow me to stay on until I found another job or he found my replacement, whichever came first. But that was mostly just bc he was lazy and didn't want to pick up the slack of me not being there.

too many go on daily for me to write on here.

one lady is the main culprit. very insubordinate/rude/demanding towards my boss, never does her job on her own, can't handle her own problems without wasting 400 hours of my boss' time when he has 8,000 other things he needs to be doing, constantly spends company money like we are rollin in millions of dollars (which is why I don't allow her to touch the office supply orders).

She should have been fired years ago....luckily for her our CFO is a perv and she talks dirty to him on the phone.

So many others that I can't even delve into on here. Basically, of the 8 people who work in my office, 4 wouldn't have lasted more than a month at any other company.

I had a coworker at my old job who would literally just go home in the middle of his day for hours on end. He'd take naps, watch TV, go to the bar... all sorts of crap. This went on for months before our super caught on, and I think he was too embarrassed to fire him and let the story go further up the chain.

I work with one of the dumbest people on the planet. Every mistake you can think of, even the simplest task, she's screwed up royally.

When I take over this place next year my first order of business is to fire her.

Some people just have an "in" with the boss, in her case she's happy to work for very little pay and my boss is a cheapskate, so it works for him.

In your case it sounds like dude is just a dumbass. In the normal course of action he should get warnings for his behavior and let go if it continues. Sucks for you in the meantime, but that's life working with other people. Wish there was a better answer.

same salesman had a customer email me to tell me that he was the rudest most inconsiderate person she's ever dealt with. He told her "Your order is a complete waste of my time"...She went on to say that she will never use us again and she will bad mouth our company from now on..also, the 45k sqft warehouse that needs material for, will be bought from one of our competitors

The dumbass asshat still works here..I want to punch him in the testicles on a daily basis

      Bryce Young May Be The Answer

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      No one is asking him to be Tom Brady. They're just asking him to be as good if not better than Cooper Rush, Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz. We'd like Young to be better than Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, but we're not even asking for that. No matter how you cut it he's going to be considered a bust for what was given up for him. He should be outpacing Cam Newton, Jake Delhomme and Kerry Collins game for game in their careers. He should at least be challenging the clutch level of Brady, Mahomes, Stafford, Goff, Garoppolo, Burrow, Hurts and Purdy. Remember that's based on the draft capital given up for Young, and not the extremely low bar Young has actually set for himself.

      So Kyler Murray gets praised as the best little QB...

      By CRA · Posted

      Even if you cherry pick Bryce post benching and ignore everything else and project it out over a full season….. there is no statistical  argument Kyler has ever been worse.   I’m no Murray fan as I agree he is more athlete than QB.   And I’m open to Bryce improving and support us continuing to develop him as this point.

      We need LBs--build the roster from the bottom up.  On offense, we have Coker who has been huge...if you fill your weaknesse without having to use free agent $$$ or draft picks--win win.
