I worked for an online payment company you all know. Many eployees have access to the main DB which holds all transactions and names and everything in clear text. You could basically find out all PII (personal identification information) of any celebrity you wanted given they had anaccount. Address, phone number, credit card and all. If you knew a bit of SQL you could basically find whoever person you wanted and get purchase history and all.

Cant say I didnt use this to find stuff about my exes or various celebrities.

I work in pest control and 99% of the shit we use. You can buy without having a license. The license just covers us to use the products on other people's houses responsibly. If you really want to do pest control, you only need a few chemicals and they are all easily obtainable on Amazon.

A national (not US) cake company uses expired ingredients because it's cheaper. Yes, I did report them to the authorities.

I work for a commercial airliner (regional) on the ramp and cleaning planes (regional and mainline - 737, 738 etc).

Don't drink the coffee. The coffee pots rarely get switched out and are only cleaned with water from a water bottle, after an agent used the same gloves to clean other parts of the plane (assuming they don't start with the galley or taking out the trash).

Worked for a Gaming Hoster. Critical informations where hidden in small texts everywhere just (we) couldn't get sued. VPS would get "corrupted" when not used for a period of time, just so we could replace it with a new server. Backends were not protected. You could replace the executable with something malicious and get access to the server. Some more specific things i can't name or it would be clear which hoster it is. NEVER trust a gaming hoster which have access to you server files..

Acronis Backup charges you for local data backups from one device to the other. So basically if you are using Acronis to move data from your local drive to another local device like a NAS, you pay money for every gigabyte transferred. During the time I worked for them, the script to run the transfer was literally the most simple robocopy command, even simpler than one you could write yourself. And they still do it, charge for local to local data movement. Its fucking insane. One of my clients had a $15k a month bill for local data movement. Straight up highway robbery.

The potato and gravy at KFC uses whatever crud fell to the bottom of the friers each day. Usually that was good chicken bits, but sometimes it could be whatever the staff were playing catch with for fun.

Oh and be nice to the people making your food. Trust me on that one.

Worked in tech support for a major internet provider. We would constantly have major ouages in various locations due to overtaxed systems going down. Corporate refused to allow us to admit that there were problems on our end and forced the techs to troubleshoot the customer calls, even though we all knew that we could do nothing for the customer. Saw multiple techs releived of their job for telling the truth to the customers. So many hours wasted on both the customer and techs part.
