I'm curious what the average salary is for an Associate Agent. I'm licensed & do everything after the sale is made as well as refer new business. I have 14 years in the industry but have been at the current company less than a year, so I know that plays a part as well. Anyone in a like-position by chance?State Farm Allstate Travelers

A mid-level guy had a coke-fuelled rendezvous with two hookers in one of the executive offices after hours. He passed out and they found the girls stuck in the stairwell with a bunch of company laptops.

Throwing a chair in a creative review. The chair nearly hit two people.
I had a GCD whip a stapler at his door which had an account person he loathed standing in it. Stapler hit the door frame 5 inches from his head. Followed by “get the f*ck out” and the kid nearly sh*tting his pants. Did not get fired however.
The pa to the MD described in great detail to the executives how she double teamed two 21 year old life guards in her back yard.
CD got caught having sex with his girlfriend on the back office patio and DIDN’T get fired… and then HIRED said gf as a “digital director” 🤦🏻♀️

Reading another employee’s emails. Low key stalking.
Referring to wearing masks during covid as “feeling like a terrorist” when they had it on.
(Summed up wear religious headwear as being terrorists)
My boss asked if I was wearing underwear on my face when I elected to wear a mask during an in-person meeting the summer if 2020. Some people say really stupid crap.
I can’t imagine being fucked up and thinking “I know a fun place! My office.”
My office has beer on tap. So it’s pretty fun.
Client trip to Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. Cheech & Chong had a movie out so we organized a private dinner/ party with them after. Needless to say, shenanigans continued and some clients / staff ended up partying in C&C hotel room. Pics somehow circulated to leadership.. almost fired, but account was too big and clients loved rep so it was swept under rug
two senior account people made fun of a client over an internal email thread and it got buried but eventually made it back over to the client
When I worked at a social gaming startup, an industry legend who worked on The Sims got hired. She left after a week, after her first meeting with the founders. Tech bros who didn’t know what they were doing, and high on their VC funding. The story with so many likewise failed startups at the time. So yeah, not “fired” but lost her job of her own accord.
This older guy who was working in the cubicle behind me was let go while I was away on a shoot for looking at blue sites. This was back in the early 2000’s but even back then the had filters that could see the red flags. Turns out he had been warned before and still did it again. And it was young men he was looking at. Married and had to go home to his wife and explain why he was let go without severance.

I’ve never heard that term in my life…
I also had a coworker get fired for watching porn at work. He had a wall on his left to hide it, but forgot to plug in his headphones. Afterwards, his computer was filled with videos and pictures so that was pretty crazy.

New account guy used our CCO’s card to buy a large round of top shelf tequila shots. The very next day, while we were in the middle of a photoshoot, he got summoned to HR. That was the last time we saw him.
Wieden+Kennedy had a Christmas masquerade party at old, beautiful train station one year. Two people dressed up as Hamas (with festive green headbands with Arabic and crossing sabers) in traditional Palestinian fashion. But in ominous dark colored clothing reminiscent of what the soldiers were wearing. The pair walked around together and separately not talking to anyone the whole time. Wasn’t sure if they were WK employees because they had their faces fully covered but must have known somebody because the party wasn’t open to the public. There was recent news at the time (2009/2010???) of Hamas attacks. Definitely sent creepy vibes.
Also this whole thread is yuck, please think about the words you use.
