A friend told me about a co - worker who would constantly eavesdrop on others' conversations. He would then use the information he overheard to his advantage, like trying to get credit for other people's work. It was really unethical.
I heard of a temp worker who was promised a certain wage but when payday came, they were paid way less. The company tried to say it was a mistake but it took weeks to sort out. Another horror story is that some temp workers were made to work in extremely hot conditions without proper ventilation. They were on the verge of passing out from the heat.
There was this co - worker who spread false rumors about me. She told everyone that I was going to get fired soon because I made a big mistake. But it was all a lie. It really affected my relationship with other co - workers for a while. I had to work hard to prove that it wasn't true and regain their trust.
A friend of mine got a call from a telemarketer who started yelling at her when she said she didn't want the product. It was completely unacceptable behavior.
I heard about a person who had gerd so bad that it damaged their esophagus over time. They had to go through a lot of medical treatments and had to be really careful with their diet all the time. It was a horror story in terms of the long - term effects on their health.
No. Such stories are highly inappropriate in the workplace. It violates professional ethics and can create a hostile and uncomfortable work environment for others.
One of the horror stories I've heard is that a girl took Plan B and then had a very heavy and long - lasting period. It was much worse than her normal periods. She bled through her clothes a couple of times because she didn't expect it to be that bad. It made her feel really embarrassed and also physically weak. She had to take extra iron supplements to make up for the blood loss.
I heard that a friend of mine had a billing issue with Comcast. They overcharged him and when he called support, they were extremely rude and refused to listen to him. They just kept saying he was wrong. It took him months to get the issue resolved.
One that stands out is a person who got motion sickness on a roller coaster. They thought it would be fun but ended up feeling extremely nauseous. The twists and turns made them dizzy and they almost passed out during the ride.
I heard of an apartment manager who completely ignored safety regulations. The fire alarms in the building were broken for months, and the emergency exits were often blocked. When a tenant reported it, the manager threatened to evict them for causing trouble. It was a very dangerous situation for all the residents in that apartment building.
A friend of mine had a situation where the elevator in their apartment building broke down. The maintenance crew said it would be fixed in a day but it ended up being out of service for over a week. People had to walk up and down several floors with groceries and other heavy items. It was really inconvenient.
