workplaces are weird. my job of 10 plus years wanted me to set up for working from home. I negotiated covering a new pc for my house. that I would own outright if I had to leave the job, via paying what they paid to help buy it. Of course then the owners forgot all about it. both the at home set up and the fact i had a Gaming Pc I did not tell them I'd ordered. (hint. a gaming pc for that workplace was like doing food delivery with a maserati. you'll get the job done. but why use that just for delivering pizza) I held onto the pc up until this year when I replaced it. I'd had it for 5

I once had a manager take my finance accounts to present them to our company's director and another company's auditor as if they were her work. All she had done was change the fonts and cell colours... Leaving my name on the file as the author, and each of the sheets. Needless to say she lost her job when it became apparent she didn't actually do anything. I was pretty excited at first since she made 3x my money, but when they realised I could do her job for less money, they asked me to take on her work full time in exchange for no raise, no promotion -_-
