“The FBI agent who did the backflip in a bar and dropped his gun.” "She got absolutely blotto at the Christmas party, did a full strip show on a tabletop in front of all staff and their partners. Got right down to the skin before anyone could yank her down. We came to work the following Monday and her desk was just gone. Not just personal items packed up in a box, but the entire desk had been dismantled and taken out of the CS area. Apparently the CS manager was so furious about the situation that he wanted to send a message that she wasn’t just fired, but was to be totally erased from company existence." "He then proceeded to leave, at which point the police were called, and when he showed back up, he was arrested. And yeah, he had his loaded shotgun in the car. What was he so pissed about? That mandatory overtime coincided with the opening day of fishing season, and he wasn’t allowed to use PTO to go fishing. Well, he missed six opening days of fishing season for that one... because that’s how long he spent in prison." "A couple of EMTs I worked with went to paramedic school and got fired and had their licences revoked by the state for forging signatures on their paperwork. They had to get signatures verifying the hours they worked from the hospital staff where they did clinical practice, and a few of them forgot to get some signatures. They got caught because an instructor found a sheet of paper one of them accidentally turned in with some other papers where they had been practising said signatures. What’s super dumb is that they did the hours, they just forgot the signatures. All it would have taken was a call to the hospital clinical coordinator and the papers could have been signed properly. But they decided to forge it, and they lost their jobs over it. They’ll also never work anywhere as firefighters or EMTs or paramedics because it’s basically impossible to get certified again if any state revokes your cards."
