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

The office holiday party is notoriously dangerous territory. People drink too much, say inappropriate things, and lose all inhibitions. This person attended a holiday party where one of the ladies in HR acted in a not-so-HR way. She had way too much to drink and ended up making a lot of people uncomfortable. 

Instead of addressing this woman’s highly inappropriate behavior, the rest of the HR department tried to sweep it under the rug. She wasn’t disciplined or fired for violating her own department’s rules. After this happened, our storyteller got fed up with the toxic work environment and quit. Good for them, and good riddance!
