Zoom Gone Wild, Breakfast Shift Breakdown, Shared Death Experience

from I Used To Work There

Episode 6 of I Used To Work There is complete workplace chaos from start to finish. This week’s Day Shift brings the lighter insanity, including a Valentine’s prank email that somehow ends in HR, a wildly inappropriate duck call video accidentally sent to the wrong company, a first-year teacher whose classroom movie causes a student to pass out cold, a shutdown engineer who becomes the victim of a fart machine prank during an oil and gas turnover meeting, a firing that spirals into someone threatening to press charges for “assault on my boots,” and a Zoom classroom disaster that goes completely off the rails during the COVID era.Then Night Shift takes things into darker and stranger territory with a legendary Vancouver breakfast shift that ends with a waitress completely snapping and throwing a fistful of wet rice at a customer, a journalist nearly crushed by a falling light inside a building connected to tragedy, and one of the most emotional stories we’ve ever featured on the show: a deeply personal shared death experience that changed one man’s understanding of grief, connection, and life itself. From hilarious workplace disasters to moments that genuinely challenge how we understand the world around us, Episode 6 may be the most unforgettable episode yet.And to all of our new listeners discovering the show this week, welcome to I Used To Work There.
