had a tech show up. put a pillow on his desk and went to sleep. It was a holiday, thinking the management was not working that day. CEO was doing a "walk by" to say thank you for working and saw this guy sleeping and snoring away. CEO does the best thing ever. Made everybody leave the room, he comes back with a blow horn walk up to him about 5 feet away and blew the horn. Tech jump up and was furious.. notice who blew the horn, he grab his pillow and his desktop docking station for his phone and never been back.

Lesson of the day.. Dont sleep on the job or you will get a AIR horn blow in your face.

Back in 98 I worked for a department store doing elevator/escalator maintenance. We electronically clock in at a particular scheduled store unless there’s a problem at another store. This one mechanic was tired and hungover so he clocked in at the store closest to his house then went back home to bed. His boss payed him on the pager. Idiot called the boss back from his home phone and lied saying he was at another store. They had called ID in 98.

I'm more amazed at the things people do that they DON'T get fired for.
