The CEO sent out the email that COVID vaccination was required for all employees or the people that refused would be terminated, like most workplaces. It was fully expected seeing as it is a hospital, and all but a handful of employees compiled. This moron decided to reply all (the reply all to CEO emails has thus been disabled since) with a lecture full of antivax nonsense about how COVID vaccines were experimental and contain fetal cells, and the revelation that they had been reading patient charts that they had no business reading for COVID test results and the consultation or ER notes, and wrote about the "proof" that they had that nobody had died or gotten really sick from COVID, and how the CEO was extremely misinformed on the subject of COVID. That resulted in immediate termination and it was pretty hilarious to read their nonsense and the fact they admitted to every employee they had been violating patient confidentiality. You want to be that dumb, have at it.
Creepy guy got fired. Showed up the next day and confronted HR. Idk what went down but they had to call the cops.
A male staff member was yelling at and berating a female for god knows what. She was trying to get away from him, and he'd followed her around the office down the stairs and into the washroom.
She was the manager's fiancee, and there were three witnesses. We were honestly worried for her safety and the receptionist was about to call 911.
Consequences for the abusive minidicked coworker? NONE.
Depends. Had a client pull a knife on me once, and another dragged me around the facility for an hour while he tried to break down a door to "kill" another client because he had stolen the change from a $5 Taco Bell gift card.
The other incident being was a coworker harboring one of the fugitive kids at her house with her like....6 children while her husband was away in Nebraska for work. Randomly saw her in family court a year later while I was working another job, hopefully while her husband fights her for custody of the kids...
The big incident at my previous job was the (extremely incompetent) HR person accidentally sharing a spreadsheet of every employee's salary. I was an hourly worker at the time and thought it was funny, but some of the senior engineers were pissed to find out how much more other engineers made. HR was not fired, instead she was put on a temporary paid leave.
Other incidents include:
- One of the owners' vape exploded, forcing everyone to evacuate.
- VP of the company got caught buying escort services on the company credit card.
- Aforementioned owner (who was no longer an owner after the company was bought out) got fired shortly after a town hall zoom meeting, where he used a Trump/Pence background.
- The head of the NOC team had a stroke at work.
- COO "accidentally" revealed in front of everyone that one of the Project Managers had cancer. She sued, and they settled.
- COO verbally abused one of the senior managers over the phone during a big meeting. He sued, and they settled.
It was a pretty shitty company.
That time the food cart pod exploded:
