31 Workplace Scandals So Shocking, Employees Will Never Forget What They Witnessed

“In my early 20s, I got into banking. If you know the lower-level world of working in a bank, it’s usually made up of young people (think tellers/member service reps/receptionists/etc.), and it’s a first or second job for us. Anyway, I had my fair share of drama being in my early 20s, single, and attractive, but my drama was minor compared to what everyone else had going on. One of my coworkers, a married mom in her 40s, began sleeping with our other coworker, who was also married and had children. He eventually got promoted to the HR department. They would have sex in her van in the parking lot or parked off somewhere during lunch and after work, even after he went into the HR department.”

“Another female coworker I was very close to, who was also married, began sleeping with this guy in collections. Eventually, she got pregnant and to this day doesn’t know if her partner or our coworker was the father. Not going to lie, her son does look like our coworker, which I admitted to her when she asked. She decided not to look into it and eventually stopped the affair. Anyway, that was all a couple of decades ago, and I’ve heard everyone is divorced. Scandalous times.”
