Work

Many people have broken the rules, misbehaved or done something weird or crazy during work hours. I personally never have, nope, would never, absolutely not, perfect employee right here! But if you have, you know that there&#39;s no worse imaginable outcome than getting caught in the act by your boss. However, a good boss has a 6th sense for spotting weird, illicit or unprofessional behavior from their employees. So be warned, y&#39;all: close those browser tabs, stop stealing your co-workers&#39; lunch, and maybe drink one less martini on your lunch-break. Because Big Boss is always watching.<h2>These 27 bosses, managers and supervisors <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/6p7s5c/bosses_of_reddit_whats_the_craziest_thing_youve/" target="_blank">share</a> the craziest things they&#39;ve ever caught their employees doing at work:</h2>1.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/weedmoneylol/">weedmoneylol</a>:<blockquote> I was doing a weekly call monitor on one of my better employees and found he was doing an Indian accent. I was a bit surprised so I went back and listened to 5+ calls of his from that week and found he was doing different impressions for almost every call. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Micky Mouse, Apu from the Simpsons, a pretty solid Christopher Walken and a few others. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div>2.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Patamarick/">Patamarick</a>:<blockquote> When I was a kid working at a grocery store, another cashier would often buy and then chug a half gallon of milk to get sick to go home. Job was horrid, so it was entertaining at the time. </blockquote>3.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/MyAnimalsBite/">MyAnimalsBite</a>:<blockquote> Guy that worked for me was getting out of his car one morning and saw one of the other managers in the company, so started talking to him. In the middle of the conversation he whipped his dick out and started peeing on the side of his car. He was 37 years old, sober and it was 8 in the morning. This was for a corporate job. </blockquote>4.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/shitterplug/">shitterplug</a>:<blockquote> I manage a small weld shop. Generally, I don&#39;t care about less than clean background checks or pot, as long as you come into work every day and get shit done. Finding reliable welders is difficult, so a lot of shit flies. This sometimes leads to weird employees. This one guy we hired stopped showing up. After like 3 days days, he walks in the door. He&#39;s bright red from being sunburnt to shit, and his clothes are torn to shreds. Dude was drinking on a little aluminum boat and somehow got lost at sea. He looked like Tom Hanks from Castaway! He didn&#39;t have cell phone reception, so he wasn&#39;t able to call me. He did take a bunch of pictures over the few days he was lost at sea, though. Including one where he was being rescued by the coast guard. I gave him the rest of the week off. Cost guard took him to the hospital, he checked himself out, and immediately came into work. Didn&#39;t even go home and shower. Odd dude. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div>5.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/docious/">docious</a>:<blockquote> Had a see through water bottle that was filled with vodka. He started the day off fine but was legless by lunch. Drove him home (40mins each way) because he couldn&#39;t afford a cab. Talked the owner out of firing him and instead we helped him get into a program. That was 4 years ago... he&#39;s the production manager now. Model employee now in fact. </blockquote>6.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/SplungerPlunger/">SplungerPlunger</a>:<blockquote> I was a Valet Captain at an expensive restaurant with the parking lot two blocks away and one of the valets I was supervising &quot;took a wrong turn&quot; in a customers 2016 Audi Rs7 and ended up getting pulled over &amp; arrested for going 110 in a 70 on the interstate. </blockquote>7.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/B_U_F_U/">B_U_F_U</a>:<div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> Used to work with this girl that would watch porn as she was operating her machine. She&#39;d prop her phone up on the control board and just watch as if it was a sitcom or some shit. Co-workers went to her supervisor to let him know and he had to have a sit-down with her. She was oblivious to the fact that watching shows on your phone while you work was prohibited, let alone pornhub. </blockquote>8.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Seven65/">Seven65</a>:<blockquote> I had an employee call a French woman a frog and then start ribbiting. That was kinda awkward. </blockquote>9.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/izwald88/" style="font-size: 1.1rem; letter-spacing: -0.01em;">izwald88</a>:<blockquote> Back when I was a gas station clerk, my manager would deal drugs while on the clock. He&#39;d take people into the back office to talk to. We all knew what he was doing, mostly because he all but admitted it. And because we all knew, someone eventually said something and then the company tried to make him take a drug test. He just quit, instead. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div>10.) From [deleted]:<blockquote> Was cashier manager at big box store. There was a useless kid that finally stopped showing up. A few days go by, and I see him walk in, so I assume he&#39;s going to come up front and we can do the whole formal exit process since he missed shifts. He never comes up front, nobody has heard from him. So a few weeks go by and we just terminated him. I go back to the lunchroom one day, and useless kid is sitting there. I ask what he&#39;s doing and he says he&#39;s on break. I&#39;m like lol no you stopped showing up weeks ago and were terminated. He leaves to go &quot;back to work&quot;. I confirmed with all managers he was fired, not working in another part of the store. He shows up in the lunchroom again a few weeks later. Turned out he didn&#39;t want to tell his mom he doesn&#39;t want to work. He kept letting her drop him off, he&#39;d hang in the lunchroom for a bit because his mom apparently is friendly with another employee, so this way it looks like he still has the job to his mom. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div>11.) From [deleted]:<blockquote> SuperTarget deli. Had an employee eat food from the deli in the walk-in freezer which was the only place without cameras. He was shivering and holding an entire meatloaf, mouth full. I couldn&#39;t stop laughing. </blockquote>12.)

From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/beer_hearts/">beer_hearts</a>:<blockquote> I had a girl that worked for me at a Mortgage Company pull the credit report of her ex-boyfriend&#39;s new girlfriend (no idea how she got her social security number) and then went on the girl&#39;s Facebook page posting messages about all of her debt, and past due accounts, and the crappy kinds of car that she drives, etc. Got an angry call from the girl who ended up being a pain in my butt for a while. Edit: Forgot an interesting part - We fired the girl, and about a week later an agent from the department of Treasury comes in asking questions about the girl. Turns out, she was being investigated for a series of fraudulent things, including operating as a loan officer without a license, and taking out a bunch of federal student loans in her grandfather&#39;s name. He wanted information because in investigating learned that she had been fired from the company for some sort of malfeasance, and he wanted the details. She went to jail for a while eventually. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div>17.)

In the meantime the office had collected an envelope of money to help with the costs of the funeral and missing work. When I called, the mother answered and was shocked to find out her daughter used her death as an excuse to go to Vegas for the weekend. When she returned I help a big meeting with everyone in the office and presented her with the envelope of money and flowers, she took it and faked cried. I called her into my office to reveal that I knew and fired her and took the envelope back. She said she &quot;don&#39;t give a f*ck&quot; and left.
