Maybe it was their salaries, but the night IT staff spent a lot of time ha ing sex at work. Forgive me if that is not typical for all IT guys and gals.

I can count on one hand the number of times we have had to mete out disciplinary action over IT staff, night or day, engaging in sexual activities at the office. One finger, actually.

And it was the director of security, on the sofa in his office with an assistant. You'd think a security exec would have the fucking sense to lock the goddamned door.

I think I found your problem. Its unfortunate that security like many areas of IT, those who know ass from elbow dont get promoted into management, mostly because they refuse to learn the business. I've known too many "CISO" types who would confidently launch into a 10 minute talk when I asked them about their operational procedure when dealing with a framistan incident. Also most of em dont lock their doors. Ever. This is your brain on an MBA.
 
Oh bel;ieve me, I know.... I'm the one that gets to arrange lawyers for a lot of these guys when they get themselves arrested for stupid things like getting handsy with a waitress. The number of absolute morons that make it into upper management always astounds me.

The reason that japanese waitresses at the enkai must use two hands to pour your sake is so they have no free hand to swat your hand off their ass while they are pouring. They MUST use two hands. Then you MUST put one hand on her ass and one hand on your little sake cup. Then you MUST say "ma ma ma ma" while she is pouring. It is expected that you will feel her ass. Its Japanese culture. Its a rule almost. If you dont do it, they think you are gay. However, never do something stupid like this at a Western establishment or anywhere else for that matter. You will quickly find yourself in a lot of trouble. You might have to make a formal apology and pay some money. You could get fired.

Usually only if you get indicted... but these guys often end up getting repatriated ahead of schedule.

Or if their bosses are feeling particularly vengeful, they up their package and send their wives to live with them. :devil:

Over the years I have been involved in two situations where someone was fired for some kind of sexual misconduct. Both were male gaijin. One guy was serially sexually harassing junior female staff by repeatedly asking them to go drinking. He was a chubby, creepy Brit with crooked teeth so they always refused. He didn’t seem to get the message; his unwanted invitations persisted. The ladies complained to local HR but nothing happened. Then he made the really stupid mistake of making some of his invitations using the new company email system. One of his targets, a plain, skinny girl with bad skin but big tits, started printing and filing his invitations. When she had accumulated a stack about an inch thick ( that’s about 2cm for those of you who still think the metric system is going to get widespread usage), she Fedexed them to HQ. The offending Brit got the boot, the local HR manager got reprimanded for inaction, and the pizza-faced girl is probably a lonely 45 year old virgin who sits at home eating cup ramen and masturbating over the only guy who ever showed any interest in her.

Yeah, different story when it's inside the office.

The most memorable one I had was a creep (Japanese) who used to cut photos out of porno magazines and put them in cards and leave them on female coworkers' desks with little notes inside like, "I would love to see you posed like this" or "This is what I want to do with you". No surprise, local management did nothing, but once one of the women sent a few of his cards to their head office, the shit truly hit the fan. That incident got run up the chain all the way to the CEO who called up the local shacho and had the offending creep fired that morning. The local shacho got the axe the week after for allowing it to continue.

Once HR has proof, especially physical evidence, they should take action, but often they don’t. It usually needs to become an international incident, ie. someone tells h.q.

Speaking from experience, often we recommend action be taken but senior management doesn't heed our advice. "Oh, boys will be boys... he doesn't mean anything by it...."

Another British guy. He had a pretty serious drinking problem. He used to get really shitfaced with his ‘mates’ and cause all kinds of problems. He lived in Roppongi so his bullshit went mostly unnoticed. One day he didn’t show up for work. Around lunch we get a call from him. He is in the holding cell of a Koban somewhere way the fuck out in Chiba. After only god knows how many pints with his mates, he got in a taxi to go to another bar. Lady taxi driver. He can’t speak Japanese. He blubbers something and falls asleep. Taxi driver thinks it’s a place in Chiba. She drives all the way out there and wakes him up. 29,000 yen please. He realizes what happened. He tried to just stumble way. She chased him and grabbed him. A scuffle ensued. She later claimed that he was laughing like a crazy man and forcefully grabbing at her boobs and crotch area. Torn pantyhose were saved as evidence. He got away. She called the cops who came and chased him across a rice field, caught him and threw him in the pokey. He ended up paying the taxi driver a million yen plus the fare, plus the cost of a new uniform which had been torn along with the pantyhose. No charges filed thanks to the adept negotiations of our HR manager. We sent him back to London. Turns out that he had undiagnosed diabetes which exacerbated his drunkenness.

I feel like that is similar to an account I read once by a gaijin who got thrown in the slammer over here...

Yeah, we all make mistakes when drunk. The porno guy and the crooked teeth brit are worse in my eyes.

Thanks for the funny stories.
 
Friend told me about one of his coworkers. Guy had various mental problems, and then one weekend he got smashed enough to forget to take his meds for two straight days.

The resulting hallucinations ended up with him being caught by the coast guard of a completely different country two weeks later, trying to swim out to sea to 'get away from the assassins chasing me,'. He finally snapped out if it in a hospital tens of thousands of dollars later. He ended up quitting to work from home I think.
