The potato and gravy at KFC uses whatever crud fell to the bottom of the friers each day. Usually that was good chicken bits, but sometimes it could be whatever the staff were playing catch with for fun.

Oh and be nice to the people making your food. Trust me on that one.

They actually kept the domain admin password on a post-it under 2 different keyboards. One of which was secured from the public.

Worked Customer Service for a well-known car company that also had it's own financial services dept with its own branded credit card. During training we were told that the card itself sucked and that smart/discerning customers would likely reject getting the card if they actually knew the details. Why should people get the card? Just based on the "prestige" of the brand, because they would see it as a status symbol. And they had a quota for us to sign people up for every month, which I consistently failed because literally the only time I could get anybody to sign up for the card was when they didn't care enough to know the details and just absent-mindedly said, "Yea sure, I'll do that."

I worked for a company that had an expensive San Jose lease during the .com bubble. When they decided they needed to get out of that lease, they folded the company - “fired” everyone, then re-hired everyone under an independent second company that was owned by the parent company. Sketchy, but not really surprising…

When they re-hired me, they didn’t have me sign any NDAs. All the old NDAs were with the company that folded, not the parent company. Some days I wish I had been unethical enough to sell off their source code to a competitor.

One company I worked at had more full-time collections people than sales people. Our products were a lot cheaper than our competitors, and it attracted a lot of customers with no money.

Another company I worked at ignored all "first notice" bills they ran up. CFO told me that if a company wanted paid, they needed to send a second notice.

Eh. No one would know my old company since it was a small local business but it was a commission only job with a draw. During the peak of Covid and when companies were obtaining PPP loans, the company asked each employee to increase their draw to show that they had a higher payroll burden than they did…which wasn’t really a burden since it was a draw. Anyway, they definitely got a PPP loan and it was forgiven. I have stories for DAYS about that place.

You would never buy a car if you were involved in making it. We have a vehicle that dumps all its coolant on the road as you drive your brand new car back from the dealership. Making cars is difficult.

I was high the whole time, beginning to end.
