Lurid Work Stories
"I know a railwayman of 40-odd years' service," says Juan Quar, "and he tells me a new gruesome yarn each time we meet. Last week's was of checking the time on the wristwatch of a severed arm he'd just collected after a track fatality."
Tell us the horrible stories you tease the new hires with, or that you've been told.
NB By definition, these are probably all made up. Roll with it

Here's a story about something that we weren't told at work...
That the Managing Director was a sociopath who sufferd from short-arse syndrome and would make the life of the first employee who pissed him off a misery.
I was clearly the patsy as once I'd pissed him off within the first month of starting this job everyone else was off the hook.
I made sure that any new starters were aware of his issues so they didn't become his new target. Nobody deserved the grief that guy dished out but I had enough front to deal with it. He later got 'let go' in a round of redundancies. I survived.
