31 Wild But True Complaints Employers Received About Their Employees

Some people refuse to let employment get in the way of their dream. For one guy in particular, that dream involved having an orgy. In what we can assume was a time-saving measure, he chose to host said orgy on company property during his lunch break, which was broken up after his boss received a noise complaint.

Obviously, he was fired and then blacklisted from ever working there again, but you have to assume he moved on to bigger and better things. After all, there’s no stopping someone with that kind of determination. 

Redditors have recalled other bonkers times they’ve received a wild but true complaint about someone they worked with, and a disturbing number of these stories will make you never want to eat at a restaurant again.

CatSk8erBoi 3y ago I had a repeated complaint that an employee was spitting on the floor of the kitchen in the restaurant I was an assistant manager I was employed at (you could see the back from parts of the store) and I was like wtf? So I started to monitor the cameras and I finally did catch it repeatedly and I found out the guy was chewing tobacco and spitting it on the floor. Не was terminated immediately for obvious reasons both hygienic and also because you know.... There's a time and place for tobacco use on the clock.
Wind_Yer_Neck_In 3y ago There was a new grad in our place about the same time we started getting complaints that a lizard was loose in the office. We then had complaints that he had asked people if they wanted to see his new snake, which he had apparently brought to work in his bag. Didn't take long to put these two events together. Turned out he thought bringng his reptiles to the office would be a good conversation starter and his mum had approved the idea. 26 ...
zombieguy224 3y ago We had an overnight security guard bring in a portable Xbox and play it instead of watching the cameras or doing his patrols. Не also regularly forgot his badge and had to climb into the security office through the window. Не straight up asked my coworker who was training him if he could bring in his Xbox and he was told no because A: he should be doing his damn job, and B: he was on multiple cameras. We caught him after my supervisor noticed patrols weren't getting done, so he checked the footage and there he
Elemental_Garage 3y ago We had a developer who other team members said they didn't think he knew how to code because after a month he hadn't checked in any code. We looked into it and they were right. Turns out the guy that showed up to work was not the guy from the interviews conducted via webcam. This guy was taking his pay and flying each weekend to Vegas to play poker. Не was fired shortly after. Months later I saw he was working for another big company as a developer, presumably running the same scam. 32 ...

-r4zi3l- 3y ago We had a girl once that was dogshit at giving tech support, but somehow ended up topping the customer satisfaction survey scores. The team complained that it was impossible as we knew what she was telling the clients, and every ticket she escalated was a shitshow. A few months later my colleague and I discovered a string of fake clients in the CRM, but no relation to her. We started investigating and suddenly we found a list of matching phones, which we finally mapped to the employee in question (and two friends of hers). Management would've never
VideoGameDana 3y ago I was Assistant Manager and had to deal with an incident involving an employee from another location temporarily stationed at my location harassing a customer in the bathroom. For some reason he thought he was in the right by demanding a customer currently peeing in the urinal to move aside so he could mop the area. The customer was totally cool about it but at the same time quietly let me know, allowing me to have to discuss the issue with the employee after the customer left, and eventually writing him up. Fun. 49 ...

millionlittlepieces 3y ago I was a manager at a fast food chain back in the day and we had a head office complaint that a guy on the first window had poked his head out of the window when a car pulled up and instead of taking their money he leaned into the car and took a toke on a fat spliff. We laughed about it because it seemed entirely ridiculous but followed it up by watching the CCTV. Our faces when we realised that it was another employees car that had been at the window and that was exactly

phat_lava 3y ago . Had a random citizen call up to say she'd witnessed one of our delivery drivers pull up on the side of the road and throw a parcel out the window into the gutter.

karmagroupie . 3y ago Had someone 'turn in' a co-worker for doing 90+ on an interstate with a loaded trailer on the back. Guy insists he wasn't going that fast. Installed gps. Не was. Fired him. Не was stunned. + 1.5K ...
OnlySayMeanThings 3y ago I was shift lead at a Gas Station and I had a customer tell me that one of my guys (like 80 years old) told him to Fuck Off, eat shit and die, pussy. After the customer rolled his eyes at the price of cigarettes. I talked to my guy because I was sure that at very least, the circumstances were different. Happened just like the customer said, my guy apparently didn't realize his speaker was still turned on and said it as soon as the customer's back was turned. Guy turned around and that started an
Wise-Information4224 3y ago Our head of Taxation at a VERY large investment firm was using a ton of bandwidth. IT started complaining and subsequently monitoring him, turns out this dude spent 4-5 hours daily watching HD porn and jerking off in his office. Не was actually caught jerking it in the boardroom. IIRC he was using upwards of 1TB monthly just on porn. 215 ...
Adric_01 Зу ago Had a complaint call from someone get forwarded to me from an external line. Said the person threatened to fight them, spit on them, and called them a whole lot of rather offensive names. Asked for the name (thanks nametags) and got the most mild mannered staff member we had. Couldn't believe it but I passed it on up to my manager. We had cameras. Every word was true...blew my fucking mind let me tell you. 210 ...
Half-blind-bear 3y ago Call centre agent, not one of mine thankfully, had a customer call and claim someone had used her card details to order a takeaway. She sounded crazy except she named the take away and it was a local one. Dude lost his job and had a criminal fraud charge for an 8 quid lunch. Fricking weird. + 817 ...
stuckNTX_plzsendHelp 3y ago Critical items at the jewelry counter were anything over $500 and had to be counting at the start and end of each shift and shift change. Items keep coming up missing and one of the other employees complained that it was a certain lady stuffing it up her hot pocket. Security took her to the bathroom. It was true. She had a men's necklace shoved up there. I can't imagine who she was gonna give that too. + 1.6K ...
EndyBendy33 3y ago Used to work as a night auditor at a hotel and one day I was told one of the daytime workers was fired. She was this really sweet older lady who worked part time and it was really hard to get fired there so I was very curious. Several customers had complained, concerned that there was something very off about this woman. She was slurring and just seemed very off that day. Management was concerned, at first thinking there was a medical issue. After a few more incidents, they checked the cameras and found out she was
tempthethrowaway e 3y ago She was peeing on the chairs in the office. No, she didn't have any sort of health issues. She just didn't feel like walking to the bathroom. AFAIK she still works there. + 2.6K ...
sleepylun3 . 3y ago . Edited 3y ago Had a coworker who always had a really strong stench and thought it was just bad BO. Turns out she was addicted to mothballs and was licking them during working hours. The chemicals give off an unbelievably strong smell through your skin. We got complaints about her odor but didn't take them seriously (thought people were just being assholes) until someone saw her actively licking on the job.
Faethor_Ferenczy 3y ago с I was the head night auditor at an upscale airport property. Had a youngish night auditor who put a room into out of order status and let his friends in to party and have an orgy that he joined during his lunch break.

eyeslikedeadgrasse 3y ago One of my current coworkers told me this story the other day: Не used to be a manager at a fast food restaurant. Не said that one night, after a busy rush, a woman called his store to complain that her fried food item had hair all over it. The manager denied this claim and ensured the lady that the food items had never been in contact with hair and would never have left the store in a dirty manner. Не backed his store and employees all the way and insisted that the woman was mistaken. Upon

naptrapped 3y ago Had an employee that was actively robbing local banks on his days off. I believe he hit 8-9 different banks before he got caught. Found out about it during an early am FBI raid of the employee locker/break rooms done in conjunction with a raid on his house. To say it was a shock was an understatement. Не wasn't even top 20 of my list of potential felonious employees. + 2.6K ...
easy0lucky0free 3y ago Our worker took a shit in the toilet of a vacant apartment that didn't have running water and then didnt say anything and left. They know they are supposed to use bathrooms in the offices/clubhouses because vacant units never have running water. The complex didnt find it until three days later, when they brought a potential tenant for a walkthrough. It had been over 100 degrees all week. The woman i spoke to said there wasnt any toilet paper, either. + 6K ...
UncleSnowstorm 3y ago A chain restaurant here does student discount of 30% off. One of the waiters, who was a student himself, would use his own student discount whenever a table paid full price in cash, and keep the difference for himself. Only got found out because head office emailed the manager to check why one student had eaten at the restaurant 5 times a day for the last few weeks. + 980 ...
 3y ago This one was relatively recent and rather short. I work in the marketing and HR firm for a larger company. Turns out one of the employees was filmed at the capitol riots inside the building. They had found out his employer and the public absolutely brigaded every social media outlet and phone number we had. After looking at the twitter and instagram messages we were receiving, this employee also had been posting batshit insane racist posts all over his social media. Не was very quickly terminated. 18 ...
