“They Ran Off to Europe Together”: HR Reps Share the Different Office Scandals They Have Seen on the Job

Most workplaces have occasional bouts of drama, but some places are out of control. This person’s office had two intensely dramatic things happen at the same time. We have no idea how anyone could focus on their work. The first tidbit of drama had to do with their boss.  

Their boss was having some kind of mid-life crisis because this thirty-something man hired an 18-year-old whom he quickly started an affair with. On top of that, she became pregnant. His escapades didn’t work out because he ended up fired and divorced with a new baby on the way. The second piece of drama involved another department head paying off an employee to be a surrogate for her baby. What is going on at this office?!
