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

Drinking on the job. Getting drunk on a catering.

Sleeping in the cooler on the truck. See getting drunk on a catering.

Showing up several times late when he has a catering.

Smoking weed at work. What a friggin dumbass. The owner has cameras EVERYWHERE. You can't move in that place without the guy knowing.

I'm guilty of crawling in the cooler. My job wasn't to friggin DRIVE, though.

Worst, but not getting caught. Was working Saturday at midnight on some upgrades and happened on a coworker snorting a few lines.

Worst, getting caught was a coworker who was having financial problems and depositing bad checks into the ATM, and taking out a 100 each time. This is very bad when you work for a bank. He was warned that time. A few weeks later he was fired for taking time off after he had used up all of his time.

Never caught, had a dude that would drink on the job (at places he'd have to drive to)

At his physicals, he'd have to dry out for a week and go back again for another round of blood work because his liver function was off the charts.

Caught. Guy was doing work on the side for a client. I fired him.

Did some internal audit work for my company and came across an invoice for 15 ink cartridges for $21,500. Did some reseach and found out that the actual price for cartridge is $44. We got charged $1,350 per cartridge plus $1,000 to ship em. Guy that order them told AP Dept to pay without looking at the invoice. The number he dialed was not our vendor but a scam company that pretended to be them. He was not even written up.

I've seen people that deserved to get promoted fired and fired promoted.

It makes no sense, and I don't imagine it ever will.

reminds me of that commercial where the guy is telling the girl she will never succeed in life unless she is dumb about things.

At the grocery store one time I got written up for giving a lady back a $30 check when I was supposed to keep it :lol:

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.

Where do I sign up?

well, you'll have to take a large pay cut.

but good benefits.

but no money.

but you can slack all you want....ie everyone in my office.

but no money.

I'm (basically) unemployed. Also, I don't have a works visa and I wanna live in the US.

That said I'm an excellent procrastinator.

It's win win really.
