HR Employees Reveal the Most Bizarre Moments from Their Careers

CR Staff - February 9, 2023

38. Eyeball Icon

Not so much weird as it is funny. I was eating lunch one day when an employee bursts into my office. She was visibly shaken so I asked her what was wrong. She proceeded to ask if the government was doing surveillance on her work computer. When I asked her to clarify she said she noticed an eyeball icon that she’d never seen before appear when she was typing in her password. As in the thing you click on when you want to check that you typed in your password correctly. She’d worked there for almost 20 years and never noticed. Bless her heart.

39. Feeding Him

When I was doing the hiring, I had one guy come in with his wife, and she was pissed off that she had to wait in our lobby and couldn’t sit in on the interview with him. He had aced the phone interview, and just fell apart in the in-person interview, so I’m thinking his wife was feeding him answers, or just some weird sort of confidence booster for him.

40. It Depends

We had an employee that would constantly be 15 minutes late. Always strolled in at 8:15.

So after a conversation with the employee, the supervisor changed her schedule so that her start time was 8:30.

She started coming in at 8:45.

When the supervisor confronted her about this about a week later by saying she was late again, the employee responded by saying that “it depends on which clock you look at” as to whether she was late

There is only 1 clock on the wall in the office and it is controlled by the same server that pushes the time out to the phones and computers…so they all read exactly the same.
