When I started at my current job a young female worked in sales who would dress a little to scandalously for work, but not to a degree where it’s worth doing something about. Fast forward a couple months and a group of individuals from the sales department co-workers of this female, decided to visit the local strip club. While they were at the strip club they saw the girl who works in sales as a performer. Afterwards they didn’t say anything but the now know stripper would offer her services to them. She eventually got fired for a combination of things.
I used to work with a man who wrote a program to basically scrap all of amazon to find pricing errors in buy that item. In one year he would place over 20,000 amazon orders. He’s had entire delivery trucks just for his stuff. He had filled his garage, his spare bedroom and his neighbors bedroom with various goods. What’s great about this is I got so much stuff for free. I have 5 google homes that cost $129 for free.
One day this co worker called us out to his car and he opens is trunk. His trunk is full of viagra. His offers it to us and asks if we knew anyone that could use it. He later got rid of all this viagra because he was concerned about legality.
This co worker later got fired for “hacking” more of finding an exploit in a website on a company laptop.
The IT at my guy was racist. The guy in the previous story was middle eastern. He added extra monitoring software, allowing him to view the screen, key logger, etc. This was only done to this guys computer. The middle eastern guy who also buys all this stuff from amazon spent like 2 weeks trying to hack into this shit on his computer. He eventually got it off but the IT guy grew suspicious. He went to look at the computer in question and confirm that it was actually removed. After he confirmed that it was actually removed he left and did a loop though the kitchen to the other door to the room of the software dev area to listen in on what we were saying. The IT guy continued to look into the middle eastern guy more and figured out he hacked this website and obtained some info on the company network on the company computer. The next day the IT guy walks in my the HR person and yell “[name] STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER” like he was a cop ordering someone.
About 6 months later. Occasionally my work has guest speakers come in about a variety of topics. This time it was about identity theft. The speakers was talking about the IRS scam callers and said that it was a big giveaway because it sounded like the person spoke broken English. So I work with an Indian guy, the IT guy says to my boss in front of everyone in this meeting and says “Is that what it’s like speaking to [insert Indian co workers name here]?”
IT guy was later fired for other reasons
Every morning at 9:30 we have a development team stand. At this meeting all the developers discuss what they did the day before, what they will do today, and if they are having trouble with something, and if they have questions for someone else etc. We all work from home various days of the week and join this meeting through some software called Zoom. The application most of us are working on involves live video, though a webcam or cameras in general. One guy had his video off in the meeting, but went to demo what he has been working on. This application by nature forces your webcams on. So his webcam turns on and we see it though screen share when he’s demoing. So the camera appears on the screen and we see his topless wife behind him. He immediately closes out of the application, we all just stared laughing.
