High-Level HR Intrigue
No one liked the VP of HR, except for her own assistant and the President’s Assistant (she used to buy them stuff, including lunch daily–and even took them on vacation with her and her husband). One day she and the President’s Assistant had an argument and falling-out. One week later, two police officers showed up at our office and arrested the Assistant–right at her desk in front of everyone. The VP claimed the Assistant had stolen her credit card. Then the VP threatened the President (her boss) with a lawsuit if he did not fire his Assistant–so he did.
The Assistant had a new job elsewhere within one week…
What the VP did not know was that I was dating a cop at the time and found out that the officers that came to “arrest” her had no charges to file and simply let her go once they got to the station–no paperwork was even filed! You see the VP’s husband was a detective. The whole thing was showboated just to embarrass the President’s Assistant and get her fired!
Suffice it to say the VP of HR was eventually fired herself – for oh so many reasons…
Ahh…to protect and serve (and help your wife with her petty work problems).
Loved the story, OP.
I’m pretty sure that’s not legal.
Not legal, ethical, smart not even as a practical joke. I hope the VP wasn’t the only one who lost their job.
What a whack job.
Wow, what a surprise. The cops acting as the tools of the well-connected.
Shame on the cops for going along with this.
