Just curious. How many of you have caught your boss doing something he or she wasn't suppose to be doing, later realizing, "hey...this could work for me"? Then....actually using it and it working?

Share your stories if you care to.

I always find these kinds of stories funny.

I used to work in a tall building, and a window cleaner there saw (and photographed?) one of the top executives banging his secretary on the office furniture. The executive had to pay a monthly sum for the window cleaner's silence, and then eventually surprised everyone by volunteering for an unappealing two-year post in the Middle East. That much was confirmed to my satisfaction as absolute fact by a number of credible sources. What I consider to be merely hearsay and actually hard to believe was that, after returning to Korea he was confronted by the window cleaner's successor, who had full knowledge (and photographic evidence?) of the executive's misdeeds and who continued to blackmail the man.

The gym that I go to is on the second floor of a small building with a restraunt underneath. About 6 months ago I was on one of the treadmills that line the windows and I saw my boss (a woman) getting into her car with a man (not her husband). I haven't thought about it since then until I read this post. I guess it could be used as leverage but her English isn't that great and she'd be lost in the translations so I don't think it would pan out. Plus for all I know it could've been her brother. I highly doubt it though.

I used to work for one of those 2 bank account school businesses. You can change the PIN and get the whole 4 million the school pays.

Oh yea, I used to work at a VA hosp in the states as a medical record staff administrator specializing in confidentiality. Over at least 2 years, my boss who in turn told another supervisor to tell her staff that if someone wanted a copy of their medical record and it was too big, the copy person should just take the first 10 pages or so and complete the requests as if they had really completed the whole request. That of course was really dumb. We got caught plenty by the attorneys we would work with who would call me to fix the problem. I always kept their names.

One time, my boss talked to me about a security infraction she accused me of committing except the report was on official reprimand paperwork. I wiped it on my crotch and said the "F" word a half dozen times. She went forward with her paperwork, I went forward with mine. We eventaully both had to leave but I'm on half pay for a long long time.
