What’s the craziest reason you’ve ever seen someone get fired? At a previous job, a guy was let go for expense fraud. He had been charging his personal flights and hotel stays to clients for tens of thousands of dollars. He somehow thought no one would catch on, but it eventually unraveled. It was shocking to everyone and a wild reminder of how far some people will push it. Curious to hear what others have seen!

Lol so wild! I saw two employees get fired for an affair where they were hooking up on company property 😬 it was pretty insane because I knew them both decently well and never suspected anything lol

Wow, that’s intense! It’s always surprising when something so personal ends up causing major work drama.

I worked for a company that had a limo service that executives could use to go to meetings. And a guy I worked for began using it just to essentially take joyrides. I'm not sure how much money was involved, but it began to look strange that one person was taking a town car just about every day. There didn't seem to be any purpose to it except it was like a compulsive thing where he liked sitting in the back of a big car and being driven somewhere. Anyway, they called him in and of course he couldn't explain it and that was that.

Wow, that’s wild! Using a limo just for joyrides? Definitely not what that service was meant for! Sounds like he was just treating the company like his personal chauffeur. I wonder what went through his mind thinking that would fly for long.

I second that 2 people having an affair on the sly. Typical, got caught out in the christmas party... All secrets get out in the christmas parties ! :D

Haha, right? Christmas parties are basically the unofficial “secret reveal” events every year. People think they can let loose, but somehow all the drama ends up front and center.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄

I’m saving up for a first home (3-5 yrs out, 30k saved) and looking for insights on safe amount to spend. HHI 300k (very recently doubled), 30k student debt, children in next few years, 29yo. We enjoy spending on vacations and hobbies so lower fixed costs, and interested in FI. Trying to figure out a balance between getting a dream home but setting up a secure future. We live in NE so housing and tax is high and stressed by the sticker. Any insights would be appreciated
