0:00.0	What bonkers stunt have you seen someone pull at work and still not get fired?
0:05.8	I heard a girl steal money from other crew's bags in the locker and changing room.
0:10.2	Instead of firing her, they just took the door off the room and put in a camera,
0:13.6	so now we have to show up to work in a uniform with a shirt over it.
0:17.1	It's very hot here and I end up sweaty by the time I get to work.
0:20.7	She also called in one time
0:22.0	saying that her sister died and needed some time off. She's an only child. After all of this,

0:55.1	about the situation, and they ran with it to avoid getting sued. They told the customer that
0:59.5	hardware issues sometimes happen, and because he hadn't opted into our managed backup services,
1:04.8	the data loss was on him. They offered the customer several months of free web hosting as compensation,
1:10.3	and the problem went away
1:11.4	for them at least. A week after seeing this play out, I put in my two weeks notice.
1:17.0	Used his corporate credit card for over 10K in personal purchases. He was reprimanded, but not
1:22.7	fired or made to pay the company back. Within the next year he did the exact same thing and only then was he fired.
