4. Wreck And Roll
I was part of a group of IT contractors who were put together for a large international project. The client would get us apartments to live in at each implementation site for 6-12 months. A member of my team got into a disagreement with the CTO when he came to visit our site. This resulted in her screaming personal attacks at him in the hallway when he tried to step outside to de-escalate the argument.
She was fired on the spot. Her reaction was chilling. She proceeded to go back to the apartment provided by the company and completely wreck it. The site was in the middle of the desert, and she had opened all of the windows and doors, turned the AC on max, stopped all of the drains and turned the water on, and threw red nail polish all over the bathroom. It was the most extreme breakdown in a professional environment I’d ever seen.
