My Stalker Pretended He Had An Interview At My Office To Get Access To Me

[00:00:01] [SPEAKER_00] Hey hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider hitting that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's crack on with today's first story. Much love guys. Now today's first story comes from a deleted user who says, My stalker just won't quit. He escalated his tactics today.

[00:00:26] [SPEAKER_00] Earlier last year, I tried online dating for a brief period. I immediately regretted my decision. A whole lot of creepy DMs that I don't need to describe here. I made the mistake of using my real name on my profile on a local dating site. One dude who lives in my city immediately messaged me and started flexing about his net worth. Expecting that in my awe, I would automatically drop everything, quit my job and let him take care of me.

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_00] Nope, I love my job and would have no plans to quit for any man. The guy kept at it, making new profiles every time I would block him. Sometimes he would change his name but he had a consistent writing style. Each message had similar mistakes since he's not a native English speaker. Ended up deleting my profile from that site entirely. He kept at it. He found my socials, Facebook, LinkedIn and started messaging me there. Blocked and blocked.

[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_00] But apparently he kept looking on LinkedIn anonymously and saw my post there that recently I was hiring for a direct report of where I work. The position was filled two weeks ago but the stalker dude just this morning showed up at my office and told the receptionist that he was there for his interview with me. I called security to have the guy escorted out. I'll definitely get a security escort to my car when I go home today just in case he decides to hang out. I'm still freaking out that he might follow me and discover where I live.

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_00] A top commenter says to OP, Yikes. Sorry that some men are so crazy. You have a dog. Friends that you can check in with daily. This situation sucks. OP says I only have cats and a roommate. Also a woman so she might be in danger too. Since the original dating site experience I did end up finding a boyfriend. Now my fiance who works at a different company in the same building as me.

[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_00] I might be able to do a public affection moment with him in the parking lot. If he's watching he can see me kiss the dude who isn't him. Who knows how he'd react if that might set him off into a jealousy spiral though. The commenter replied saying that usually doesn't work and will most likely escalate the issue. To be honest your best bet is making police reports. The first few won't do much but it demonstrates a pattern of behavior that you can use as a basis to progress a case against him.

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_00] The commenter says hey OP. So sorry for what you're going through at the moment. Men like him are the scum of the earth. Did you happen to notice what vehicle he used to get to your work if any? If so it'd be a good idea to write a description of it and any other details. Example what he looks like etc so you can eventually report him to the police. Does your fiance know about this psycho? Wishing you all the best. OP says actually know his real name from all his various DMs. He included his real name before he started using aliases.

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_00] I didn't see his car since I never left my own office during his visit this morning. I have a window that faces away from the parking lot but our security guy just informed me that he was able to get a good video of his face in the lobby in his car when he was escorted out. And oh yes fiance and I had a conversation earlier on about dating histories. I didn't have much to report at the time but that was definitely on my list. At the time it was just an amusing story until this escalation happened. And another commenter said scary stuff.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_00] Check your car for air tags and don't always take the same way home. Document everything in case you need a restraining order. And I think it was good advice all around because although nothing which is it feels really shitty to even say this. Nothing will happen initially I don't think if you reported to the police. It gets that paper trail going to spot those patterns when they do if they do happen. And I say it feels really shitty to say this because technically he hasn't done anything illegal at the moment but the behavior is so absurd.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_00] And I've probably watched way too many true crime stuff where people report the stalkerish type behavior where they start to end up at the house and things and nothing gets done until it's fucking too late. And it's just incredibly frustrating. But OP did update the post a week later and said update about the stalker who came to my office. I posted recently about a stalker who found me last year on a dating site and cyber stalked me to the point that he came to my office last week responding to hiring notice that I posted on LinkedIn.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_00] He tried to arrange an interview so he could have direct access to me. I did file a police report documenting Facebook and LinkedIn messages going back to 2023. I hadn't blocked in both places. His Facebook profile identified where he worked and so that's where the police officer went to locate and question him. Turns out that he was in the US under an H-1B work visa on temporary work contract for a big employer in my city. You'd recognize the name.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_00] Execs in that company apparently got freaked out enough about having a stalker on their premises that they terminated his contract. Guy got fired. The law around his type of visa says he gets 60 days from his termination date to find a new job but it's a pretty tight network in the tech community where he works. He learned quickly that he's not going to get a new job within those 60 days. Dude got on a plane this morning back home to South Korea. I'm so relieved. Carry on ladies. Commodore says, Thank goodness.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_00] Anywhere you can contact immigration so he can't come back to the US for a while. Commodore says, Good point. Crimes can count against you when you try to get a visa. Not sure about a police report without a conviction. Hopi says, One more commenter says to OP.

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_00] Are you sure he got on that plane today? OP says, Direct confirmation from law enforcement. It's just such a scary situation. Like not knowing where he was, how much he knew about her routine, whether he was sitting outside somewhere watching or what he might escalate to next. I can't imagine being in that scenario. It must be terrifying. And what was he actually planning to do under this sort of fake interview? It's really scary.

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_00] And thank goodness people took it seriously. And his employer immediately recognized how dangerous and how bloody inappropriate his behavior was instead of just brushing it off. What do you guys make of this situation? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below. And let's move on to another story. Our next story comes from a throw away account and says, My 24 female friends, 28 male, girlfriend, 29 female, got publicly humiliated and fired from her job.

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_00] She blames me and he is backing her. My friend, let's call him Ted, and his girlfriend have been in a long distance for many years. The girl, let's call her Ellen, quit a job eight months ago and came to live with him. During this entire time, Ted and I have been reaching out to everyone we know to help her get a job. A few months ago, I noticed that the name of her last company was incorrect. When I pointed it out to her, she said that was on purpose as a company didn't have much of a reputation. So she'd basically lied.

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_00] She used to work at a much more respectable firm and put down her sister's name in references. Who worked there? I told her she shouldn't have done that. And most certainly not asked me to refer her to people with a blatant lie on her resume. She defended herself saying it wasn't a complete lie and she didn't make up work experience. I told her that's her call, but I wouldn't be able to help her anymore. After that, Ted and I were still on good terms, but neither brought up the job hunt. Some time ago, she finally converted one interview and got an offer.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_00] She told me as well as thanking me for all my help. I was genuinely happy for her. She started the job immediately. A week into it, she was in an orientation session with all her peers and her manager publicly humiliated her for lying and asked her to immediately leave. Ellen claims that while she was packing her drawer, she overheard him saying to another colleague that someone had tipped him off. She says that since only Ted and I knew about this, it has to be me. Ted says he doesn't believe I did anything, but can't support her

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_00] as she's an unemployed, betrayed mess right now. It's just such a bloody cheeky thing to do in the first place. You ask friends to help network and refer you for jobs and then you're handing in false resumes and expecting them to just smile along with it. And there are dozens of ways the employer could have figured it out without OP. Background checks, reference inconsistencies, someone just recognizing she never worked there, the sister slipping up. There was just a whole bunch of ways. And the fact is, if you're going to lie,

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_00] you've got to face the consequences when the truth comes out. And that's the end of it. The commenter says to OP, honey, people's actions prove who they are. Start distancing yourself from these liars who shift lanes so they don't have to deal with their own issues. OP says, as such a needless lie, you're right. Shift in blame is exactly what she's doing. Playing the victim when it was her own mistake. I just hate that this caused a rift with Ted. Commodore says, don't say anything to the employer. She's using you as a scapegoat because she doesn't want to own up to a mistake. Let them be mad.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_00] OP says, so true. They are stringent background checks done by employers. They don't wait around for tip-offs from friends of employees. But these checks are usually completed before making the offer, so I'm really not sure what happened there. Dragon Fruitfly says, often before making the offer but not always. That's in a number of instances, including where I work, in which reference checks were done after an offer was made. HR probably assumes people who are applying for professional positions won't lie as it's so easy to get caught. As we know,

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_00] it does happen frequently. People do lie, often out of desperation. OP says, yeah, out of desperation is right, but it's impossible to recover from if and when you're caught. In her case, it was so unnecessary. Commodore says, so many companies won't contact the direct reference for a company and will often go straight to the HR department. Or perhaps someone at this new company knew someone who worked at the company she lied about. She's short-sighted and is just trying to scapegoat you. Take a step back and ignore her.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_00] Perhaps if you have any other mutual friends, then do damage control before she attempts to turn any of them against you. OP says, I wish someone had said this sooner. She's already gone and cried to our common friends as she now lives with them, Ted's two flatmates. My dignified silence hasn't made much of a case in my favor. A Commodore says, I'm laughing at Ellen's belief that it had to be you who talked instead of owning up to the fact that a blatant lie is pretty easy to verify, especially nowadays with the internet. She clearly thinks she's a criminal mastermind.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_00] Also her excuse for why she did it, my employer isn't well-known enough, is bullshit. I bet you 10 bucks she was a horrible employee and trying to cover her tracks because she knew she'd never get a character reference. OP says, exactly. Her argument is that only I knew about it. Um, think again, because I'm pretty sure the company you haven't worked for knows you haven't worked for them. Company says, wait, did she tell them the real story about how she tricked you and lied on her resume? I'm assuming so because she had to have had some reason to say you and Ted were the only ones that knew

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_00] and your so-called friends are fine with that. Don't let any of them work with you. Plus, as I said, she tricked you because she said if she left the lie on, she couldn't use your letter of reference. Try to straighten it out, but that whole group might not be worth much trouble, OP. Most people would be shocked that she would do that. Isn't it illegal anyway? Like fraud or something? OP says, She told them I was aware of the lie and had knowingly and willingly referred her despite that. And somewhere in the middle when the interview started coming in, they got too real that she may actually get a job in the city.

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_00] I got insecure and refused to help her anymore. She said to them that she still told me about the new job and I went ahead and did this to her. I'm guessing people are more focused on how horrible a situation she is stuck in. OP adds an edit saying updating here. Just spoke to one of Ted's flatmates to ask what's going on. He said, Helen has basically weaved a very convincing story about me liking Ted and hence wanting her to not get a job here, which she claims was the reason I'd refused to help her earlier. She's been in tears. Ted tried defending me at which she started accusing him too.

[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_00] It's a mess and I'm not sure if I should say slash do something here. So OP comes in with an update saying, summary, my friend Ted's long distance girlfriend Ellen changed cities to live with him and his two roommates. Ted and I helped her hunt for her job for many months before I discovered a lie on her CV and confronted her about it. She said it was deliberate and she got a job recently. A lie got caught and she told Ted and the others that I tipped off her boss to make her lose her job. Firstly, thanks to everyone for all your advice. It certainly helped to hear different perspectives.

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_00] As advised by many here, I dropped a one line text to Ted and one flatmate. I wasn't very close to the other one. What happened was unfortunate and I understand that Ellen is upset but I obviously have nothing to do with this and I hope you know that too. Speak soon. Cheers. I didn't get a reply from either for two days which is unusual but I let it be. Yesterday, I texted one flatmate asking about weekend plans as we all normally do something together. He replied with a huge wall of emotional gibberish which in summary meant this. That I had done what Helen claimed

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_00] without a doubt. That none of them expected such despicable behavior from me and that I should stay away. I tried calling Ted a couple of times. No reply. Today, there was a check-in on his Facebook with the four of them and another friend at a nearby beach. A commenter says to OP, since she basically lied about everything involved in this situation, I wouldn't be surprised if she made up some convincing proof that you were the one who did it. It kind of sounds like she just wanted you out of her boyfriend's life and did what she had to do to get that. OP said yeah and it's surprising

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_00] because she never hinted towards being uncomfortable about our friendship before this ever. A commenter says, if your friends are willing to believe a new girl that just ended their lives over you and with no evidence, they were never really your friends to begin with. Hope you can find better friends soon. OP says, for all I know, she gave them evidence but for them to sideline and dismiss me completely after knowing me for as long as they do, yeah, I do need better friends. Thanks. And I'm with the comments. Friends just don't do this to each other. Even if they were confused or unsure at first,

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_00] completely cutting OP off without even having a real conversation after years of friendship is honestly just shitty behavior. It's sad obviously because OP clearly cared about these people but in the long run, it's probably better to learn now who's willing to throw under the bus over someone else's lies. I genuinely wish OP all the best moving forward and finding some true real friends because they are just not it. But what do you guys make of this situation? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below.

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_00] Let's move on to another story. Now, our next story comes from Keeny Girl Out who says, entitled older co-worker puts her name on everything, including the water. Oof. We have a new co-worker who just started like three months ago and puts her name on everything. We just realized that she put her name on the bottled cases of water that we keep for everyone. The kicker is that she can put her name on everything but takes what I'm using while I'm still using it and then gets mad

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_00] when I hide both items from her so I can still use them. Even my boss was like, well, she's the only one here right now so she's probably using both. Mind you, it's the company's supplies, not hers. I'm seriously thinking of putting my name on the most absurd objects just to point out her ridiculous entitlement but I'm also worried that it could be seen as a hostile work environment. And yes, we've complained to multiple bosses about it. Someone says, what kind of objects does she take while you're using them?

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_00] If it was something quick use like a stapler then I understand but if it's anything more needed then maybe you should talk to her about it. Opie says, it's something I need until the end of my shift. I don't care if people use them when I'm done but to take it while I'm working is a whole other thing. It was a common courtesy to wait until we were done to take these items and I've never had an issue with letting people use them if they asked. I've had other co-workers need them and by the time they asked I was done so it never bothered me to hand them off to the next person until she came along

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_00] and she wouldn't ask. She would just be like oh, I'm taking them and never bring them back. Commoner says, have you asked your boss if they can buy more of those common items needed to work with and I would have called her out on it. I'm still using that. Opie says, I feel like ordering more just plays into her game because we never had these issues until she started working for us. It was just common courtesy to wait until we were done then it was first come first serve. I had no problems loaning them out if people ask

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_00] but she never asks she just takes. It's just a dick move. The first time I was genuinely so shocked that she even took it from me while I was still using it. Then I was just pissed. The second time she did it my other co-worker called her out directly in front of our boss. The third time she tried I put my foot down and she said I was using them and to basically get over it. The thing is she can't even use them until after a certain time and she just hides anyway so I'm not sure why she can't wait 45 fucking minutes.

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_00] She's still hoarding other items too. We actually had to tell on her again because she took two items when she really needed one. She's overstocking on items for her and her only. She's also spreading rumors that we're going to lose our job so needless to say my boss isn't happy with her right now. Commodore says, Info. Is she putting her name on whole cases or individual bottles she put in the fridge? Opi says, partial whole cases if that makes sense. Like they start out as whole cases but because everyone uses them

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_00] there's not many left. We've had water issues in our city so we've been keeping extra bottles in case we lose water again and that's what it's for not for her to hoard. Commodore says, stop playing her game handle it firmly and professionally. Debra, this water slash item is for everyone kindly stop writing your name on it. Debra, I'm using this right now I'll thank you to leave it till I'm done. Debra, you're welcome to label your own items but you'll have to stop claiming shared items or we'll have to escalate this. Do you understand?

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_00] Put your foot down. Opi says, that's what I told her yesterday. She asked where the items were and I said, I'm using them both but because she's very stuck in her ways I confessed to my boss that I was hiding them in case she made a huge deal about it but my boss low-key took my side without me even knowing it and I'm going to continue hiding these items when it's just me. So, six days later Opi comes in with another post saying co-worker is spreading rumors that we're all going to lose our jobs. It says, we have a new person trying to start rumors that we're all going

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_00] to be losing our jobs when we won't know until the summer and she's been telling others that we're going to be losing our jobs so of course it's starting to cause panic. She said she heard rumors from others who aren't involved in the decision making process and it was a few months ago so I'm assuming when she just started so things could have changed in the meantime as well. I've heard rumors in the past but I'm not as worried as I would have been back in September. Ask me in September and I would have said abso-fucking-lutely. However, we've turned a lot of our problems around

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_00] and we've been working insanely hard to turn these problems around. I've been doing extra things when I have time so it actually looks like we're doing work during the day when people can see it. Not to brag but that's one of the things I always get compliments on that I'm always busy and I'm always doing something for this reason. Mind you, I've been there for 10 plus years and I still don't know the whole truth so how would someone who just started three months ago know the truth? We brought it up to our boss that she shouldn't be spreading rumors like this considering she just started.

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_00] All I said was me and co-worker have been here the longest and we still don't know what's going on so why would she feel the need to spread rumors is beyond me when she just started? She has no right to fearmonger. It's one thing when me and my co-worker talk amongst ourselves but I still don't mention it to anyone else just because I don't want to start a panic. I do have safety plans but I planned on leaving regardless. It's not doing her any favors considering we've been having issues with her since she started and my boss was not happy when we told him about the issue either.

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_00] A month later OP came in with another post titled co-worker damages property and steals stuff from the building yet somehow still has a job. It's super frustrating that within the last week we've caught the co-worker stealing items and damaging property and we have evidence of her doing both on camera yet somehow still has a job. We've had issues with this co-worker in the past. She's felt entitled to other co-workers supplies and takes them while they're actively using them. I've had to hide items from her just so she won't take them while I'm using them.

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_00] She's taken partial cases of water that are meant for everyone and hoarded them for herself. We've complained to our bosses about her doing so as well. Other co-workers have complained about her doing other stuff that we shouldn't be doing but I'm mean one time in the chat and I get a write-up for that. Yet the two things we fire people for on the spot aside from sexual harassment she doesn't get fired. Now we have another update in the moment but some of the commenters were coming in again saying from a middle management perspective it can take a long time to fire someone

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_00] who needs to be let go. She might have some disabilities logged with HR which even if these events aren't related to the disability can severely delay the termination process. I hear you though it's entirely frustrating and fucks with morale on the team. Opie replies saying it's sort of like why bother actually bringing up issues when you have issues with someone if nothing is going to happen especially for major things like theft. It just feels like theft is selective here. Commander says is that co-worker related to one of your bosses or such? Could you maybe

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_00] complain on a higher level than your bosses? Opie says this is what we can't figure out. I don't think she's related to anyone because she was hired by someone else before they left but my co-worker and I can't figure out why she gets away with so much especially when she's the only one causing issues. We have went to people higher up about her and still nothing. Commenter replies saying then you and every co-worker who can pitch in should document everything and report it every time and escalate even higher so they get flooded with reports about this employee.

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_00] Opie says the sad thing is we pretty much have been doing that since she started. I feel like this could have been an easy out and fire her while she's still new because she's going to keep causing issues and it's better to do it early and not six months from now when she causes another issue that's harder to hide. It's happened before when I've brought up issues to my boss. My boss waves it off for whatever reason and then two weeks later the issue becomes a bigger issue and both people are shocked they get fired that day. It's almost like I know what I'm talking about and I've seen every scenario play out because

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_00] people are stupid and do stupid things. Commenter says send your boss an itemized by date account of how many dollars worth of stuff she's stolen from the company. Bring your co-workers in on this. Can you include security cam video? Hopey says we have photo evidence from a tip someone else sent us. And the crazy thing is we've fired people for costing the company shitloads of money for damaging property. I don't see how this is different from that. Commenter says can set up a sting? Something at the center of a Venn diagram of

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_00] cost would hurt company productivity slash you know she'll steal where you can record a good video and good sound. Does she seem to be aware of security cameras? You could always set up the sting with some smartphones. Hopey says I think that would be a step too far on our side and it'd make us look like we're targeting someone and not focused on our jobs. We just happened to get a tip because someone sent us a picture and was like who's this jackass and why they parked in front of where they're not supposed to be. She's been parking in spots that are reserved for building people

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_00] and that's it. It's been an ongoing problem that someone had to request her to move spots. But our place is absolutely covered in cameras and she's new enough that she doesn't have them memorized like I do. I get bored. That's the other part I don't get. There are cameras and she's already bold enough to do stuff that would get her caught. Commodore says stealing stuff from your employer is ethically defensible. But I'm anti making your co-workers life miserable so this is a tricky one. You absolutely should work it out as co-workers and not use your boss as a weapon

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_00] to hurt a fellow worker. Hope you're replacing she's also making our lives harder by

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_00] So it was a week after this that OP came in with another update and it was titled entitled or co-worker puts her name on everything I'm pretty sure she's a hoarder. I made a post a few months ago about how this co-worker loves to put her name on company supplies and how she takes items from others without asking including my own supplies in the bottled water that's reserved for everyone I'm pretty sure that same co-worker is a hoarder we were talking about it yesterday where she takes supplies she doesn't need and how

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_00] messy her area is because she takes too many supplies one of my other co-workers is an obsessive neat freak and even she was commenting on how messy their location was due to the hoarding she also has more than two supplies i understand having a backup for when you're almost out i used to do something similar if i knew i was going to be out but didn't want to run back to the supply closet i'd have a backup for that reason but she doesn't need them and go through them as fast this morning i walked in

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_00] to see her name sticky noted on a product that's only for one of our machines and that machine only she doesn't need this product at all so i took a picture of it and let my other co-workers see it just so i had another witness and told her that it was only reserved for one machine only and she ripped the sticky note off and put it back besides only two of us know how to use this machine and I'm

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_00] product because she took this specific product have a small theory she might be stealing these products to bring home she's already been caught stealing already so i wouldn't be surprised a commoder says get her caught stealing that'll solve the problem eventually if she keeps getting caught a commoder says if they lock the supply room she'll have to sign out everything tell HR your pay and the company bottom line is affected by theft tell your boss it hurts morale

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_00] when others notice stealing put a note on her desk to stop stealing opie replies and honestly signing products out isn't a bad idea i'm saying ended up finding out that the person stealing

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_00] was selling all the supplies online she was able to take pics of the supplies being sold and the seller and the person got fired maybe this was one of those situations opie says we've had similar instances like that has the current workflow shifted so that coworker

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_00] needs to start using xz opie says that's what we're planning to do when my boss gets here with a similar phrasing as well why does she need this product when correct me if i'm wrong we only use this product for that machine and that machine only a commenter says how much older is this coworker one of the earliest signs my mom's dementia was her labeling everything opie says i'm guessing around 70s opie then explains more about their boss's awareness of how much the products the coworker takes and what

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_00] it stealing and damaging property are like the only two things you can't do at my company and it seems like somehow she still has a job that's why we're always frustrated it seems pretty silly to me that my boss feels bad about that fact that she's sad i write up was silly texting drama that's nothing compared to being a thief and

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_00] i feel like my word should be much bigger than hers and for some reason it's not i like my boss and the company always wants you to come to them

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_00] it was big office printers you can't pick them up they are big old things and inside them you had these big tubes of toner

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_00] so basically the printer ink kind of thing and the company had these printers on contract so I think they paid per page or or something along those lines so they got the toner for air quotes free they just had to ask for some more when they needed it and the guy running these printers left the company and a new guy came in was trained up all that kind of thing and it turned out like after a couple of weeks he started ordering more and more of these toners almost two or three of

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_00] these every single week and it went on for a couple of months of this happening before the the contract company was like hold on you guys seem to be using a a lot of toner compared to the amount of printing you're actually doing because obviously they come in and check how many pages you printed so they can charge you and this fucking bozo he'd gone on ebay and set his own shop up it was something like I don't know his own name tony's printer supplies and I was like oh my word he wasn't

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_00] only selling that he was saying the reams of paper different color paper card he was selling all sorts of office supplies that he was ordering from the company catalog to order in and then resell online apparently I didn't see this but apparently the company director went down to him and said is this what's going on we've heard rumors that you have your own ebay shop he was like no and then the company director went onto the computer right in front of him and opened up the link he was just like ah shit and that was the end of him absolutely wild and you just gotta think why did you think

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_00] that was a good idea bloody hell but what do you guys make of this situation have you had any wild company stories let us know your thoughts down in the comments below and just a huge thank you for being here today getting involved in the stories your love your support your time it always means the absolute world to me so thank you so so much for being here truly it's absolutely amazing and hopefully I'll see you in the next one take care and much love
