Went into the partner's office late one night when everyone else was gone and solved his rubics cube.

A year later and no one ever solved the mystery. I thought he would find it funny but the fact that it was never spoken of makes me wonder if I crossed a line.

Glad that's the extent of your wild side!

When I was a staff, I heard a story about a (former) manager who got the boot after starting to run his boat payments through his expense report.

More recently I personally know a partner who was let go (big 4) for running personal items through his expense report. Silly way to loose a 7 figure career and personal reputation and credibility.

I also know of a former partner who got caught in an FBI sting sharing inside info. Another dumb way to lose a great career, etc.

All crazy and stupid things to do.

Sounds preachy....but we all need to do the right thing at all times. We cant allow ourselves to cross the line. Once we lose our integrity, we are done. On my team, zero tolerance for crossing the line.

Helped plan a work Happy Hour for the industry group and the partner that was supposed to pick up the tab had to leave early so he asked me to pick it up. We were nowhere close to hitting the budget for the HH so I took it upon myself to buy 4 shots of Louis XIII before I closed out (for me and the three others that were left at the end of the event).

That's pretty much top of the line cognac. A symbol of luxury if you will. A small bottle usually runs 4k and a big bottle runs 10k. The bottle itself is made of crystal and can be sold for as much as 500 for just the empty bottle. It's made by Remy Martin. If you ever tried their XO this is right up your alley.
