There's just one dumb weird guy here who constantly does things his way instead of the "right way" a lot of the time, has the boss legit yell at him at least once a month for doing stupid poo poo, but he's been here for like 30 years and it would be more difficult to get rid of him and try to train someone else to do his job apparently. He's also a heavy smoker and sounds like he's going to die in the middle of every one of his coughing fits. He doesn't actually affect me at all directly but I still want to punch him in his stupid face sometimes

I worked at a plant that did plastic injection molding and ultrasonic welding. I was hired for clerical work and ultrasonic welding. The plastic injection molding was my target. The boss of the company had told me to learn the processes and shadow the guy who ran the machines so that I could replace him. I didn't mind I'd get more money. This guy in question was a problem employee. He was a mooch and would smoke weed at work all day while hiding in back doing nothing. He grew weed plants behind the company. He also had 3 kids and a disabled wife who was stuck in a wheel chair. The boss took pity on him and foolishly gave him money every week so that he could feed his family since he just hosed off with his paycheck. He was also a racist and a dick. He'd say friend of the family in front of our black co-worker. That got shot down before I started working there though. At first I was subtle. I'd learn from him making it seem like it'd be to make his day easier. I started with tuning and changing parts on the ultrasonic welding machines. Eventually I assisted him with the other machines. The owner spoke to him and told him to continue teaching me. Then he started getting paranoid. He'd ask me not to take his job and talk about having to feed his family. I'd usually tease him back about how I can't help it and it's out of my control. At one point he told me he would wake up in a cold sweat and couldn't fall back asleep because he was consumed by the thought of me getting him fired. He started losing it. He'd pick fights with managers and scream about favoritism. He'd get higher and higher at work. He finally got let go when he screamed at the manager and to everyone else about how everyone has to work while the manager and his friends just play Yu-gi-oh all day. The manager would play Yu-gi-oh with a friend of his that worked there and the adult son of the company accountant/controller. That finally got him out of there. I suppose it might not have been petty drama but still felt like a ton of drama at the time. I stuck around for another year before the owner transferred me to his other company to handle some specific projects there. I'm still there but it's a pain. Extremely cliquey. Lots of people loving this old lady who works here.

At my friends job they hired a new lady. They had interviewed her over skype and she was very knowledgeable and seems like a good fit so they brought her on. She was fired two weeks later. Turns out the person who showed up for the job was different that the one in the interview. She got her friend to do the interview for her and figured she could figure out everything on the job. She ended up telling a coworker the truth and he told the boss who brought her into his office and yelled at her until she cried then escorted her out of the building.

one of my coworkers will not stop openly talking poo poo about another one, and it's starting to get uncomfrtable the worst part is that we all hate the other coworker too, it's just that it's super unprofessional talking about it openly as if he's not within earshot like 90% of the time

When we were in college my brother and I worked at the same Target for a while. One evening shift he bought a handle of tequila at the liquor store that was right next door during dinner break and since we had to park at the opposite side of our mega parking lot and it was hot as hell, he just brought it in and put it in his locker. Everyone in the break room gave him poo poo, but then after work, everyone followed him out pretty much spontaneously and we stood around his truck for two or three hours bullshitting and taking shots out of Dixie cups that one of the salaried managers had just taken off of a shelf as we all left. Looking back, Target was a good place to work in Florida in the early 2000's.

People were starting to catch on that she might actually not know who to program computers since she asked a lot of basic questions and would take a long time to do tasks because she was looking up how to do it online.

I work in a medical lab where you have to be 100% accurate all the time. But my supervisor is an idiot. So a girl in her mid 30s has been working there for around 10 months and she clearly lied on her resume about her background and knowledge and whatever. Because she still has no idea what she's doing. And she talks loudly and acts like she has never had a job before, and everyone hates her and she knows it. But the idiot supervisor has yellow fever so he ignored all of the warning signs and hired her anyway, and now because hes an idiot has no idea how to fire her. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I started here last month and some dumpy fat girl asked my name and I told her, then I went back to doing my job. She was with her dumpy fat friends who all started loudly complaining that I didn't ask her what her name was. She came back and asked me "uhhh do you know what my name is?". I don't eat my lunch in the break room when they're in there anymore

I actually had a similar situation at a previous job. They would constantly bring in marketing people to do a computer programmers job as contractors. There was also a lot of turnover in the company at that time. Anyway they brought in this one girl who claimed to have email marketing experience, and knew HTML, and it turns out that was not the case at all. She had been doing simple email sends at her last job that basically amounted to selecting a file and clicking send, whereas this position had her designing the emails and the backend processes involved in complicated sends. Anyway anytime I gave her work to do she just never did it and I ended up having to do it. The person who hired her was let go within a week or so of her starting, and our department didn't even really have a manager or anything like that so she just kind of lingered there for a few months before they reorganized some things within the company, and actually had someone in a position to fire her. It was weird. During her few months with the company though she was trying to take a trip to Africa to visit her boyfriends family, but didn't want to use PTO for the trip, saying she would work from home during the trip. I guess that would have been super manageable for her since she literally was not capable of doing a single task during her employment. She probably made $40 an hour to do nothing.

The only time I've ever interacted with an actual pathological liar was at work. Chuck would tell us all sorts of stories about his millionaire doctor brother that lives in Australia. Or his super awesome sports car (it was in the shop getting souped up so we couldn't see it). poo poo really started hit the fan when Chuck told us his mom had cancer. He'd have to take off work to take her to chemo or doctor appointments all the time. Then she died! Being concerned co-workers he tried to send flowers to the funeral home. Though we couldn't find which one she was at. Then about two days after she "died" our HR manager ran into his mom at the grocery store. She was VERY surprised to find out that she had cancer and had died. That was the last I saw of Chuck. We did find a few scam gofundme pages that he was running later on. Oh, and he always poo poo all over the toilet seat at work. Truly a disgusting human.

I also wasn't getting credit for a lot of the work I was doing so I quit. Turned out someone else was taking credit for a bunch of my work and got fired a couple weeks later when her quality of work dropped off as soon as I left and they figured it out.
