secrets from your job

[Koharski]

I've had a few.

Staples:

You can return anything at anytime. We rarely check

If you bring in your computer to get serviced, you can garentee that a copy of your porn and/or MP3s was made

There was virtually no security in the store. We finally got one of those beepers near the elecrtonics section, but it was really flakey and went off all the time, so we never chased after anybody

black kids steal pens and pencils


Now I work for DHC (small company that installs commercial computer systems and alarm systems)

When a customer tells us how to do our job, we do it their way. Saves us alot of time arguing with them and we get more work out of it when things are fscked up because of them.

more companies hire us to install fake security systems then real ones

It is store policy of wal-mart to have a certain number of plastic domes to hold cameras. It is not, however, store policy to have any cameras in them. That decision is up to the manager

Customers frequently ask us to put a password on the computer, but then put the password on a stickynote on the monitor.

yours?

they don't tell me them

we rarely pay much attention to the hardware specs that our sales team gives us when it comes to dedicated servers... if they request a P3 box, we'll probably just upgrade it to a P4 without telling anyone because it's easier to find newer hardware.

That no matter how many times someone tells you where to go, what time to be there, and what you need to bring, most if not all of that is going to be wrong.

All secrets I deal with are trade secrets so I won't be posting them.

Claim your cable has been on/off for a month and you get a month's credit. Don't abuse this, or you will get caught.

As a Burger Shack employee for the past three years, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that if you're craving White Castle, the burgers here just don't cut it. In fact, just thinking about those tender little White Castle burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one... just makes me want to burn this motherfvcker down.

Oh, and stay away from the special sauce.

Probably not much of a secret, but at blockbuster you can return your movie at any time before 2pm for it to count as on time on the day that its due. If you return your video between 12pm and 2pm, walk it into the store and give it to an employee to check it in.

We are allowed to haggle. It seems NO ONE knows this, and we always start high.

Yeah, I'm confirming this one.

There is rarely as much profit in a product as the customer says.

And, I get tips, sometimes.

I hold a lot of the PS3 60gigs and Wii's for my friends and family at the Gamestop I manage.

But don't tell anyone please. Stuff said on the internet is very likely to be true.

 

[compnovice]

zipcodes..... they are a sham...

I am night managing a Days Inn. My day job isn't going too well.

When you put the pizza sauce on a freshly tossed crust, hold the ladle like pencil and work from the inside out in a counterclockwise direction.

Give each bowling shoe ~1/2 second worht of that damn spray

Those two secrets are what I have accumulated over 4 years of work.

 

[Leros]

We occasionally assasinate officials from competing governments.

 

[Ricemarine]

If you work at an after school program for a middle school...

-Avoid getting hugged no matter what... (no violence though).
-Pair up with another worker so you don't get screwed over if a kid decides to accuse you of something, so the other worker can deny the accusation.

Here is a secret. If you are nice to the guy who works for the computer/phone/cable etc.. company on then the phone then you have a much better chance of getting what you want.

We talk to people all day with a broken computers/internet/cell phone and already know it sucks to have broken crap. Honestly people if your (insert tech gadget here) is so important to your day to day operations that you are now losing $10/100/1000 while talking on the phone then why didn't you buy a spare unit?

 

[Orsorum]

Most of my secrets involve confidential, client-specific information, so I won't be sharing either.

Don't dent your iPod, because before it gets shipped to the service center we all laugh at you and know that they are going to void your extended warranty, and you will end up paying 230+ to fix it .
