The CEO got high on crack and was on a rampage, knocking shit over, yelling etc. and then shat his pants. It got worse when he saw that he was running out of crack and didn’t have the cash to buy more, so he got online and made an announcement that Unity would be charging per install because he needs the money for more crack and hookers. Crazy day.

The worst part about this is that I’m inclined to believe that this story is real.

another worker fell over and hit his head on the concrete behind me. while I was checking his pulse, he died. creepiest day ever. and the only thing the company did was take a long lunch due to the EMTs in the work area.

Reminds me of those one punch deaths that result in manslaughter, because damn, the back of the head is pretty fragile.

Construction company we made a few foundation pads and the supervisor who was an asshole, came to check the electrical installation conduit, so he pulls his plan and goes to one conduit end that is supposed to go all the way to the other side, so he yells at one of the workers to blow on the other conduit and wants to listen for air coming out on his end.

Guy on the other end blows, nothing happens on this side, the asshole supervisor yells “Blow Harder” so the construction worker obeys and gives a big strong blow on his end. Well nobody saw this coming, someone had urinated in the pipe so all pee comes out and squirts his face in front of everybody.

Since we hated him we were all laughing our souls out of our bodies. :) The supervisor, didn’t say a word and walked away furious.

I trained a serial killer. Hang on, I’ll link to another comment I made regarding that…

EDIT, found it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/3725228

Another edit, just to clarify: I trained him at the job, not the killing part

Glad you clarified that. I was worried about you.

I guess if you’re going to unknowingly interact with a serial killer, being their job trainer is one of the luckiest things you can be. They can’t off you, or else they won’t be able to learn enough to do/keep their job.

Coworker (IT guy) went into a meeting room, turned on the computer, but not the monitor, and then returned to his office. Then he waited for another co-worker to enter the meeting room. The IT guy then remotely connected to the meeting room computer from his desk, logging in as the person in the meeting room - no idea how he got the password. He then made some very strange modifications to seemingly random employees time sheets and left a homophobic email in the drafts of a lesbian co-worker. Then he tried to cover his tracks by erasing some logs, logged out, and went on his merry way.

The changes were noticed the same day and I was asked to investigate. The only reason I looked thoroughly enough to figure it out was because the logs were erased, otherwise I probably would have stopped digging once the CCTV footage and time sheet modification logs matched up. He forgot to wipe the logs of his own machine showing the remote connection to the meeting room PC just before the changes were made. I was digging through his computer’s logs while sitting across from him, it was a bit surreal.

From what I heard, he gave no reason for why he did what he did. I don’t think he really had one.

“Of” never follows could/should/would. Ever.

Should “of” ever follow “would” or “could”?

Yeah to be honest I don’t know why I write it like that. I know it’s not right, outlook corrects me almost every day. One of those weird things my brain does, maybe a habit from when I was a kid idk. I do it without realizing.

To extend what TheGreenGolem said, what you have understood as “could of” is actually a contraction of the words “could” and “have” into “could’ve”

Weird.

Also, I thought the whole point of logs is that you can’t delete them yourself. They get written to an external place and then they can’t be edited.

Most users can’t clear their computer logs, but IT techs have a lot more access. I haven’t ever worked somewhere that has any kind of logs that nobody can wipe/delete, IT staff kind of need to be trusted or they can do all sorts of chaos and damage.

You’re thinking of audit logs, few systems are critical enough to warrant that, no system mentioned in the story would typically have audit logs unless we’re talking in the military or similar.
