Forum - When things go wrong—or weird—in the workplace
When things go wrong—or weird—in the workplace
Tue, 29/06/2010 - 04:45 — Law Donut
Over on the Law Donut blog, we’re forgetting for a while about what the law tells us about how things ought to be in the workplace.
Instead, in a new series of posts, we’re revealing a few of our tales of the unexpected from the world of employment—taking in drug rings, glamour models and everything in between.
But we’d like to hear from you as well. So if you have a story of things going wrong—or just downright weird—in your business, this is the place to share it.

In a career change a while back I met a fellow job-swapper with an unusal comparison. In what became a fierce game of verbal ping-pong, he sneered: 'Yea, well, you've never had a wet blank thrown over you and been given electric shocks.' Turned out he'd been a CIA operative!
I’m not sure that I can compete with the bullet holes by the photocopier in the most recent blog post, but I worked in the public sector for a while, and every day was a little bit like something out of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (right down to the 1970s-era approximation of high-tech computer infrastructure). But it was the travel arrangements that always cracked me up. “Well Thursday’s more convenient, but if I can hold off until Friday it’s curry evening on the train and it’s easier to get a second glass of wine.”
