My Jr. high gym teacher.

The girl who put him in prison was 14 at the time, though. She and I went on a couple dates during his trial. A LOT of past victims came forward during his trial but the statute of limitations was so short that the courts couldn't do anything about them.

His trial caused that to change, and without Louis Guenther there would have been no Larry Nasser.

Jerking off in his work van in front of his ex gf’s house and sheriff caught him.

Don’t miss that kid or the drama he brought to our shop. One of the few firings the boss lady handled herself rather than have me do. She really didn’t appreciate her business name plastered on the news for his stupid act.

My brother in law has a real cush job.  He does maintenance at a local textile factory.  The job is basically sit there and watch netflix for 12hr shifts.  If diaper machine number 7 goes down, he gets a call on the radio to go fix it.  There's lots of overtime, holidays are double time.  They had one young guy start.  He couldn't get it through his head that the campus was no smoking.  He blew the cushy job cause he wanted to walk out and smoke cigarettes.

I know a dude that is working on getting fired. I think he is bipolar or something. If he's in a good mood, everything is fine. He's not bad to work with. If he is in one of his moods, any random thing you say to him can set him off. It's like Krusty the Clown's Word of the Day. If he asks for help or advice on a task, he listens and acts on it. If he doesn't, and you notice that he is fucking up and offer a correction, he absolutely loses his shit. One of the lead techs asked him what he was doing on a particular piece of machinery, and he told the lead that it wasn't any of his business. Lead told him "tell me what you were doing or you can go home for the day." Tech straight-up tell him no, and doubles down with "the lead can't send him home."

Any conversation that starts with him saying "I need to talk at you for a minute" usually entails a 15 to 20 minute rant about how he hates his job, his coworkers, "we're all assholes," etc. Nobody at my site likes to work with him much at all. The boss is giving him a week's review to observe how he works to see if he is going to keep him on or not.

I fired a kid for repeatedly refusing to wear eye pro and refusing to use a guard on a handheld angle grinder, even after getting written up. One day he was doing both at the same time and after hearing a noise I found him without eyepro holding a grinder with half a cutoff disc, with the other half lodged in the wall opposite him. Gone after that. He can hurt himself on somebody else's time and insurance.

Looking at underage porn on company computer, HR debated issue, sent email warning everyone to be careful about using
company computers as everything is tracked by IT, guy kept up with it, they had to fire him. He was really good at his job.
Nothing funny about this.
The guy who drove his forklift (Cat f25)into a trailer without hooking it to the loading dock? that was funny because he didn't get hurt,
just crashed straight down onto lot as trailer shot away from dock as he drove in, rashed the back cage bars badly. He was
fired immediately for violating safety policies, this was his third strike. I saw him right after, he was white as a sheet.

There was a place I worked at in the late 90's that had something like that happen.  They didn't have dock locks at the time so the dock workers were required to chock the wheels of trucks before they loaded or unloaded them.  Someone didn't do that or use the seat belt and lost their arm as a result.  They got their job back and "paid", but not that much because she was still working there.  And the company invested in dock locks.

For the most part, my coworkers have been pretty good. The main exception was my first job out of college. My supervisor like to shout things like "fucking ni**ers" in his office for no reason.  We had super nice black lady named Jackie that was one of our drafters.  She eventually quit and sued the place. I assume they settled out of court because I was never subpoenaed.  The one customer we had was also likely bipolar. I will say my current employer does a really good job of not hiring those people or other types of assholes in the first place.

Brand new e2 shows up at the unit. Kind of a dumbass, but not a bad dude generally.  Comes in one day and tells a story about his wife tying him down to the bed and forcibly pegging him with a big black dildo.  Everybody is wondering why the f you would ever tell that story to anyone.

Fast forward a couple months and some lady calls in to the company asking for SGT (private's name).  CQ says I've never heard of that sergeant but we have a pv2 (private's name).  Turns out it's this kids wife. He's been pinning on e5 rank when he leaves every day for months. His squad leader searches his vehicle and finds his pin on rank. Major flap occurs, kid gets an art15 for impersonating a nco.  His wife comes in to make sworn statements to the effect and somebody asks her about the pegging story. She says no, that's not how it went down, he asked for it as a special treat for his birthday.

He ended up going awol after the art15 goes through and got chaptered in absentia.  What a dumbass.

We just within the past couple days had a couple of guys get into an argument over a radio, the kind you wear to communicate across a large production facility. One of the guys was Puerto Rican or something and the other was an older black man. Puerto Rican dude called the other guy a racial slur, the N word. Well, they both got fired.

A director who had a legitimate need to email high school students also received joke emails from friends.  This was back in the day before the Internet was that developed.  Maillists were still a thing.

A friend emailed him a joke email which contained pictures of a nude woman.  The director tried to forward the joke email to his home email account.  Why he didn't just have them send it directly to that account to begin with I don't really know.

So his shortcut to send to himself at home was to type in the first two letters of his address, hit , and then , which didn't work too well when a recent email's address was first alphabetically.  So, he sent a pornographic email to a high school girl......

Security guard (Wackenhut) calling in bomb threats. Upon his firing they found out he was jerking off into the garbage cans of hot women in the office.

Corporate VP and General Manager banging multiple young women. Everyone new about it, shit hit the fan when one of the women found out about the others and broadcast his naughty voicemails to the 2,000 in our building, he found out and crashed the voicemail system thinking nobody would hear it. At least half of the building heard it anyway, since we received a SkyPage when we received a voicemail. He wasn't fired, just moved to China.

A germaphobe guy would coat the toilet seat with an entire roll of TP before sitting down, toilet would overflow and make a gross mess. They installed cameras outside the bathroom to catch him.

Older guy, around 1995 when HDDs were relatively small. His desktop crashed, IT discovered the storage drive was all porn. They tried doing him a favor and told him everything was fried. He kept demanding to get the HDD back. They had HR deliver it to him.

There were a few theft and financial crimes as well. I miss Corporate America

Boeing VP and exec's banging their secretaries I think is a Rite of Passage for Boeing exec's.  We had one Boeing Hsv. VP/General Manager of a major defense program banging one his subordinate's wife, who also worked at Boeing.  Got caught - two weeks suspension without pay - that was it.  Subordinate still worked for him for quite a while; the wife was transferred - quietly - to a job on Redstone Arsenal.


And then there is Harry Stonecipher, former MacDac CEO who was made Boeing CEO after Phil Condit got taken down by the first Tanker scandal.  He cheated on his wife for almost the entire 50 years he was married; wife apparently didn't give a shit.  Then the Stonecipher/Boeing female exec scandal hit the press.  Bye-bye Harry - and then his wife cleaned him out during the following divorce.  Apparently fucking around and cheating on her was just fine and dandy - as long as it wasn't made public.

Got two, both from working for a car dealership.

We hired a front end and suspension guy.  Nice guy, always happy, hard worker.  Summertime in a busy CJD store and we are all drinking water and Gatorade as it's over 100 in the shop.
Now, some days he was happy, and some days he was happy.  One one of those days, the Service Manager got suspicious and grabbed his Gatorade bottle, which turned out to be about half vodka.  No wonder he was happy, asked to lock his box and escorted off the property.  Gone in five minutes.

So, my manager (this is long) was having an affair.  Went home for lunch one day to find his wife, his mistress, and her husband waiting for him.  Sure wish I'd seen it. Anyway, loses house/wife/daughter, starts drinking, loses job.  Gets hired back as a Parts and Service coordinator for two stores.  Lots of Monday no-shows due to weekend binge drinking, but manages to hold on to his job.
One day, he tells Store A that he will be at Store B all day tomorrow, so just call his cell if they need him.  Tells Store B he'll be at Store A all, day, so just call his cell.  Owner wants to talk to him, calls one store and is told he's at the other one.  Calls the other one, they say he's at the first one.
Guy doesn't answer his cell, or texts, for several days.  Fired by text.

If anybody wants, I'll share the affair train wreck though it's not work related.  Dumb ass kept telling me about it, like he needed my approval.

from female guests about missing underwear but no one took it too seriously until we got a call from his second job
at a private school and guess what? the same shit was going on there too, so we set him up with a hidden camera

just had to brag about it to day shift guys who promptly told management. One night an upper level manager came in and caught

We had a code issued to us to refuel security vehicles at private school I worked at (very famous school) so every time you gassed up they knew who it was, and on the drive back to gas pump there were three residences for teachers that one had to drive by to get to gas. Well one of the crew decided that they 'owed him big time' and he started stealing everything that wasn't nailed down, shovels, safety gear that we needed
to do our jobs, books, decorative items from the various buildings etc, it was a real pain the ass, emails were sent to everyone reiterating policies and the fact that everything was tracked and cameras were in use. He just kept up with the stealing, gassing up his own car etc.
Finally they fired him. It was a relief to everyone when it was over, the classic disgruntled employee. Just brought everyone down.

I knew of a guy who had a company car.  He decided to steal fuel…but his POV and work car were at separate places.  So, he fills up the back of his sedan with numerous fuel cans of various sizes.  Basically, anything he could find…


He apparently filled them all up and tried to pile them all in the car where they leaked fuel into the seats…a lot of fuel.  He got caught when he was told to drive the boss to a meeting and he had to run an errand first…aka go hide all the gas cans…instantly fired.

Pretty common ones.

Banging underage girls, picking up prostitutes, sex in a patrol car, BJs on duty with hookers, and a dumb former friend thought he was slick. Was in the reserves and would had some very nice deployments and training opportunities. We found out that some of these were not real. He was supposed to be instructing at Ft.

When the wing commander tells everyone involved, "get him off the base now," it's amazing when and how long some of the outprocessing stops are open that day.  

The wing exec told me at the time he heard the boss say "no one goes home until he's off this base."

I personally did an eight-hour discharge for a civilian.  Tested hot (pot), had a TS/SIOP clearance.  Before I left on Thursday, boss told me "be here at 0630" (hour earlier than usual).  

Show at 0630, briefed in.  Results from piss test were in on Wednesday afternoon, Civ Pers had the details worked out on Thursday, Friday the guy came in for what he thought was a short-notice meeting on his project but turned into me personally escorting him around the base to outprocess.  
Actually only took about six.  Last thing I did was follow him to just outside the gate so I could scrape his parking sticker off the car.

CONUS Air Force missile base right as Desert Shield kicks off.

Young one or two-striper security forces kid is calling home to a small town in Florida, talking to his girlfriend.

Ricky starts telling her he's deployed to the Gulf, not sitting in the Dakotas chasing rabbits off of missile sites.  

Desert Storm starts, the sttories get wilder and wilder.  PSD for Schwartzkopf.  Getting attacked by Iraqis.  Surviving an B52 bombing run that went wrong.

Ricky eventually goes home on leave "after coming back from the Gulf", small city goes all out--homecoming parade, keys to the city, etc.  Makes the front page of the lifestyle section of USA Today (below the fold). Goes back to the "Gulf" (but actually to the Great White North).  

Still calling back home with stories.  

GF's sister is hearing all this, had done a tour in the Navy, things weren't adding up.

"Why are all these collect calls coming from Base X?"  Ricky says "Security, they route it through my home station to hide where I'm actually calling from."

GF's sister decides to press to test.  Calls his unit at the base.  "Hey, is Ricky there?"

"Oh, yeah, he's out at Charlie, been there the last three days.  Would you like the number out there?"

"No, let me tell you what Ricky's been doing...."

That was my first exposure to the eight-hour discharge.  The kid was out of the field, signed a power of attorney for shipping his household goods, outprocessed off the base and out of the Air Force in one duty day.  

Sure enough, USA Today calls for the follow-up story a couple weeks later, but got the answer that "Ricky?  No, man, Ricky doesn't work here anymore...."


They booted this kid in 8 hours based on the word of someone on the phone?

Bullshit or there's a whole lot more to the story.


My thoughts too. No way that happened unless there’s far more there. And even then, how is it possible to chapter someone in eight hours??

My Jr. high gym teacher.

The girl who put him in prison was 14 at the time, though. She and I went on a couple dates during his trial. A LOT of past victims came forward during his trial but the statute of limitations was so short that the courts couldn't do anything about them.

His trial caused that to change, and without Louis Guenther there would have been no Larry Nasser.

Worked at a TGI Fridays in high school. About 15min before the place closed, a group of sorority girls walked in.

This was during their big release of the Jack Daniels branded products. The JD stuff was really just a bourbon flavored powder that you added water to, and it made a glaze.

All the guys in the kitchen just got out of jail like yesterday.  One of them was no too amused when they all ordered JD wings and such. Kitchen was already mostly broken down.

One of the guys pissed in the bag with the powder. Got ratted on.

I didn't say it isn't possible just seems weird they would bother. I don't think lying to one's wife when he goes home is really what that statute was designed for. Seems very petty. Unless there is more to it.

Secretaries are discovered, not made.

Occasionally a female engineer travels too much with boss.  Her husband is a pussy, but the kid has a dad.

I worked with an aero guy that got caught with a side piece subordinate.  He didn't get fired, was pulled from his manager slot, then later was a manager again.  His wife didn't appreciate his indiscretion.

Boeing VP and exec's banging their secretaries I think is a Rite of Passage for Boeing exec's.  We had one Boeing Hsv. VP/General Manager of a major defense program banging one his subordinate's wife, who also worked at Boeing.  Got caught - two weeks suspension without pay - that was it.  Subordinate still worked for him for quite a while; the wife was transferred - quietly - to a job on Redstone Arsenal.


And then there is Harry Stonecipher, former MacDac CEO who was made Boeing CEO after Phil Condit got taken down by the first Tanker scandal.  He cheated on his wife for almost the entire 50 years he was married; wife apparently didn't give a shit.  Then the Stonecipher/Boeing female exec scandal hit the press.  Bye-bye Harry - and then his wife cleaned him out during the following divorce.  Apparently fucking around and cheating on her was just fine and dandy - as long as it wasn't made public.

It seems in law enforcement before you can move from middle management to upper management you have to fuck at least one Secretary and get caught cheating on your wife while in uniform at least once. It’s like a rite of passage or something

Another missile story.

Happened way before I got there, missileer had a side gig with a card/comic book shop downtown.  Wasn't doing well--as in, lots of zeros in red on the balance sheet.

So as he went out on alerts, he would ask his deputy to stop at one of the banks along the way.  He would case the place, then come back later and rob it.  Got caught because he was using his personal vehicle, and someone recognized it from previous robberies.

Back in early 2010s I learned of a guy stealing gas. He was a service tech with a take home truck and his few main accounts were pretty far from his house, so he drove a lot of miles.

He explained it to me. He kept a couple of the empty metal gas cans, those 1 gallon pre-mixed deals you get from the hardware store, and would fill up way out in BFE by his house on the way into work every morning. He'd put two gallons in the cans, which he figured was the max he could do without showing an unusually low MPG on the office score sheet. He said that he did it in the morning because if he was ever given a surprise vehicle inspection or forgot the cans, he would have just said "oh yeah I grabbed those from Lowes on my way home the other day for my weedeater".

Dude was never checked, never caught. I figure he got maybe 8-10 gallons a week depending on how much he was driving, but he did say he always gassed up in the morning regardless of whether he went through half a tank or a full tank or whatever the day previous. He isn't on the road anymore so that gravy train stopped but I always wondered how many other guys were doing that. $30 a week tax free for years. Years.

One of our employees was also a union rep for the non-professionals.
He had been going to 'union meetings' for awhile, and putting it on his timesheet.
Come to find out, there weren't any union meetings, he was taking the time off.
Well, he got fired and even the union bigwigs were powerless to save him.
Even union goons get fired for falsifying a timesheet.
Great way to cap a 20 year career.
