At new college hire training, several ambulances called to hotel due to accidents, alcohol poisoning, would have thought it was their first time on their own
At same training a female learner got hammered and made out with a drunk, homely looking middle aged instructor in front on 100 of her peers. Obviously both were using very poor judgement, but not a good way to start off your professional career
Some more context on my third post... (senior getting DUI on way to airport)
It was their last day on project due to poor performance...
They offered to be DD for dinner, then insisted on buying multiple rounds of expensive shots with corporate card. Lost track of time + valet took forever so we were running very late.
Senior seemed ok, so we let them drive. On the way to the airport they were running stop signs and speeding like crazy. I told them to straighten up multiple times. Of course we got pulled over, everyone missed their flight and senior went to jail.
We never told the partner... 😉
A couple weeks later the Sr pinged me and asked if was OK to run the $500 "dinner" as a group meal to the client code... 😔
A few weeks later they got let go anyway...
I got an email a few months later asking if I minded being a reference.... 😅
Ran a train signal, got scared when the gates closed and abandoned car on tracks... which was then hit by train. That was the last time they were allowed to rent a car
A BTA walked into the same cubicle of a small revolving door with me dragging an effing rolling laptop bag behind her and it jammed up the door trapping us in there for like 30 mins during the morning arrival rush on our third day on the client site.
Another famous story was a director's son thought the $50 meal limit meant they could go shopping for whatever up to $100 a day. Got caught by the auditors expensing nunchucks and throwing stars from a weapons store.
C1 stole all my stories! Had an analyst turn to another Chinese analyst and ask him if pandas just walk around the streets in China.
New associate fired from training after bragging to an instructor that they had stolen snacks from the hotel store
Had an Analyst Uber from Dallas to Houston. Cost over 4K. Was SM at the time and was freaking out when I had to tell MD leading the project. Funny enough he just laughed it off. Same Analyst kept his weekly rental for over a month, and it came up to almost 15k. I wonder if he still works for ACN.
Analyst left his laptop on the x-ray belt. Didn't realize it until he landed at the client site.
An associate at new hire training drank so much coffee that they had to go to the hospital for dehydration.
Let he who hasn't fallen asleep in a client meeting cast the first stone. 😴
Went to Cadillac ranch 🙈🙈 enough said
Begged for a travel project, the her first week in NY, she locked herself in a theater closet and had to call the police to get her out, then took almost 24 hours to get from NY to DC because she booked "the first flight" that connected through O'Hare and stayed over night
Lol RKJU that reminds me of a time when the senior asked a Chinese associate "do you get hungry when you see squirrels running across the street?"😅
I always enjoy when they start business emails "Dear Soandso"
Another good one, but this one was a senior.. got a dui returning a rental car to the airport..
Bought large box of condoms, charged it to the client (which got approved!) and shared the story in front of everyone in the team.
Called an uber for the team, pointed out the car at the train station and we hop in. The driver looks to him and startled Say, "you're not my daughter"
Newly hired sr. consultant got caught watching a football game in his cubicle at the client site. He said that was normal at his last job (in industry) and was confused why the sr. manager was making a big deal.
Talking about theater, an SA referred to Wicked as "based on the Wizard of the Oz, which was a movie from the 80's"
I've never felt so old
An associate got busted by an instructor sending critiques of every female in the room to their buddy via IM in the classroom. Cocky fucker told instructor he didn't have permission to look at his firm laptop.
Should have turned him into HR...
