People Are Sharing Their Wildest NSFW Workplace Secrets, And They Are Straight-Up Scandalous

I think it's safe to say that everyone has a few secrets they'd never share about their workplace. However, some of the secrets are a lot spicier or more scandalous than others. Maybe it's a hook-up that happened between a boss and an HR rep after the holiday party, or an employee who managed to embezzle thousands of dollars for years before being caught. Recently, redditor ShadeOfDreadYT wanted to know about those jaw-dropping secrets when they asked: "What's an NSFW secret you keep at your workplace?" The thread got over 1.5K comments. Below are the top and best responses that might just have you saying, "OMG!" to yourself: 1."One of our IT guys brings his personal tablet to work to watch porn. He's an older guy with really poor situational awareness, so I don't think he realizes how obvious he is." —fckcarrots 2."A couple asked for a 'private area' because they needed to 'talk in private.' I showed them to several little rooms and even offered my office upstairs. They kept insisting that they couldn't 'talk' in any of those rooms. The guy asked if they could sit in the back of the limousine and 'talk.' Keep in mind, it was not their limousine. The driver and I stood guard and watched the back of the limo bounce up and down. The couple got out, and the guy handed us each a $20. I work in a funeral home." —last12letUdown 3."My employer is a government contractor that makes products for the military. We have 92 cameras around the facility covering all entrances, exits, windows, garage doors, fire exits, etc. Only 11 of them work, 6 are actually clear (unfuzzy) pictures, and only 2 have audio (one of them is a fuzzy/grainy visual, so it's essentially an audio-only 'camera'). No, the other 81 aren't decoy cameras. They just haven't been maintained or replaced in the last 30-plus years." —Lucky-Thanks-2082 4."My old job went on a company camping trip, and my manager made it a real trip by bringing shrooms. We all tripped for an entire weekend and went back to work like it was nothing." —madelynnsladybug 5."Years ago, I worked somewhere that had the policy that if a door is cracked open to someone's office, you can walk in. I went to the HR office for some reason I don't recall, and I saw the HR lady lifting her shirt, breasts out, flashing her computer screen. I assume there was a camera situation going on. I just walked out. Didn't say a word. A few days later, I got called to HR. She basically said, 'No one said anything, you didn't talk about what you saw?' I basically said absolutely not; it seemed like a bad idea. She said she'd, 'Pay me back for the professionalism.' She never did, but I never spoke a word of it while I was there." —GenuineClamhat 6."I caught my old office on fire by replugging in the microwave that said, 'Do not use' on it and using it. I left it plugged in, and it caught fire over the weekend. I did it! Good thing we were moving soon!" —Pawpaw-22 7."That HR employee suddenly left because he got caught smashing an employee on top of her desk. Management tried to keep it quiet, but the witness told me, and I told a few people." —sssRealm 8."I'm gay and used to be super closeted at work. I knew a lot of gay guys in my city, one of them wound up hiring my company to do some work. He was kind of closeted, too, so we just kept it professional. So when I was having high-level professional meetings with him and my boss, I was in my head thinking, Boss man has no idea that I've seen this guy naked! We had never slept with each other, but we definitely got drunk at the lake or at pool parties and got ratchet drunk naked together. We also had a bit of a love triangle with a guy we were both interested in, luckily towards the end of the project." —BirthdayAnnual1789 9."Two of the managers in the restaurant I work at are fucking multiple servers each. And each other. The managers are both married, too. It's a big nationwide corporate restaurant." —Icy_Breath2174 10."A number of years ago, I worked at a hospital. The plant maintenance and engineering guy used to hang around our department for no real reason — he was a douche and I couldn't stand him. Others didn't get his vibe. Then one day, there was a blackout, the emergency generator kicked in for 20 minutes and quit, and the blackout lasted hours. Patients had to be transferred out. There was an investigation. Turns out this douche was responsible for the ongoing routine maintenance of the generator. Certain parts break down even if the generator isn't used, even though they run it to test it every once in a while. So this douche didn't change any parts. He just said he did and sold the new parts, and pocketed the cash. He was criminally charged for this. A patient died as a result." —karenskygreen 11."Head of HR has a huge grow operation at home, and gets to pick who gets the 'random' piss test every other month. His clients never get picked." —handandfoot8099 12."The CEO walks in with an iMac he's purchased. The desktop IT guy doesn't know a thing about Macs, so he asks me for help. I helped get the CEO's email app up and running. While that is syncing (and we can see a VERY large % of the emails in his account are from his wife), we move on to the IT guy's next question. I don't know the answer for sure, so I open Safari to search for the answer. The default behavior for Safari is to give you a 'blank' start page with your recent and frequently accessed sites. This is a new computer he's only had for like an hour, so there's only one site listed: Ashley Madison. (I get that most of us wouldn't be surprised if our particular CEO was hooking up using A.M. But man, you've had the computer less than an hour and you feel compelled to check THAT site and only that site, first?)" —bakerzdosen 13."Working on cruise ships can be pretty NSFW most of the time anyway, since it's often a bunch of world-traveling free spirit types in close quarters for extended periods of time. But on the last day of your contract, when you're getting ready to sign off and go home the next day, you'll sometimes be lucky enough to get an offer for SOS. Now, SOS in this context is Sign-Off-Sex, which is usually just a no-strings fun time with someone who had a crush on you but didn't say anything or wasn't that interested (but interested enough) before the end of your time aboard. It's frequently a surprise who makes the offer, and you don't really talk about it before or after. It's fun when it happens, though!" —unittwentyfive 14."I've got a hiding spot on the top shelf of the warehouse where I climb up to and take naps. I'll get caught one day getting lowered by a forklift 'while doing a stock check.' But not today ☑️." —Massive_Platypus_373 15."A few years ago, my annual bonus included about 10% extra. The boss said it was because there was extra in the budget, but don't tell anyone because not everyone was getting the extra. About 2–3 years later, I somehow found I had access to everyone's personal drive on our network. I went exploring my boss's drive. Not a lot of stuff there, but there were a few write-ups for my peers. Scanning through them, I found two separate write-ups for one specific peer (vice president) who was sleeping with another employee in another department. One consequence was that they didn't get their annual bonus. The extra money in the budget was this person's bonus. So thankful they got caught because I enjoyed the extra cash." —OriginalAgitated7856 16."A few months ago, I somehow plopped down in my chair too hard or something, and it snapped one of the wheels off. I didn't really wanna tell anybody, didn't want to tell the lady in facilities or requisitions or whatever, I needed a new chair because my fat ass broke the last one. So, I swapped it out for the chair at the unoccupied desk a few days before the new guy started. He absolutely fell backwards and knocked his head on his empty file cabinets on his first day. Never told a soul." —unclemikey0 17."Not sure how NSFW it is, but I work a blue-collar, red-state job, and because of my natural tendency to be quiet, I learn a lot of secrets. Two of the managers are having affairs and acting as each other's covers with their wives (just sleeze shit). Three guys who have been pretty vocally anti-trans at work have tried jumping in my DMs. (I am MTF.) One of the most respected guys on the floor that everyone seems to think is the most 'alpha' man's man ever, is actually dating our HR guy and is the bottom in the relationship. There's quite a lot more, but those are the highlights from me overhearing while unnoticed or being trusted to keep secrets." —Gerasis1 lastly, "There used to be a secret swingers club at my old workplace." —Brixmis51 You can read the original thread on Reddit.

'Peacemaker''s Jennifer Holland Says There's 'Very Little' Work-Life Balance Being Married to Creator James Gunn (Exclusive)

Holland tells PEOPLE that Gunn "very committed" to giving fans everything they could hope for on the HBO Max series NEED TO KNOW Peacemaker actress Jennifer Holland opens up about the work-life balance in her relationship with series creator James Gunn — or, lack thereof "I know that his number one focus right now at this time in his life has been taking on this opportunity that he has at DC with 100% full force," she tells PEOPLE exclusively Holland stars as Emilia Harcourt on Peacemaker alongside John Cena Jennifer Holland is opening up about sharing husband James Gunn with the DC Universe. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the Peacemaker season 2 red carpet premiere at AMC Lincoln Square Theater in New York City on Wednesday, Aug. 13, Holland, 37, admits there's "very little" work-life balance in her marriage with Gunn, 59, who serves as creator, writer and showrunner of the hit HBO Max series. "I've not been, in any way, upset or judgmental with James, but I know that his number one focus right now at this time in his life has been taking on this opportunity that he has at DC with 100% full force," she says. "I think he's doing that with just every ounce of his being, and he wants to make sure that it's everything that the fans could hope for," she continues. Holland has a front-row seat to everything Gunn is doing both at home and at work, as she stars as Emilia Harcourt in Peacemaker. The actress admits that while Gunn is striving to put the fans first with his efforts with the DCU (he wrote and directed the recent Superman film, which came out in July), she says she knows that "you're always going to disappoint some people, that's just the way it is." "But if anyone could get a little piece of an insider view of what it's like, he just wants to do the characters justice, and he just wants to give it what it deserves for all of these people who've lived with these characters in these comics that they've been reading [and] the characters that they created in their brains and everything," Holland explains. "He's very committed to making it the best that he's able to make it," she adds. Holland also praised Gunn's work on Peacemaker. "We're all just doing our best to service the story, and so it was just an incredible experience," she notes about herself, Gunn and Peacemaker star John Cena. Speaking specifically of Cena, Holland gushes, "I couldn't have asked for a better, more professional partner than John in this whole ride from season 1 to season 2, honestly." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Addressing her character specifically, she says that while "a lot of the characters are evolving," Emilia is "kind of devolving in a way, so you get to see a different side of Harcourt." "You get to see a couple of different sides of Harcourt, actually," she teases. Holland and Gunn's love story goes back a full decade. The couple first started dating in July 2015. Gunn marked the 10th anniversary of their first date last month with a sweet tribute on social media, calling Holland "without a doubt the best thing that ever happened to me." They tied the knot in October 2022. Holland has also appeared in numerous films directed by Gunn, including 2021's The Suicide Squad, 2023's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and 2025's Superman in an uncredited role. The actress also starred in the 2019 film Brightburn, which Gunn produced. Peacemaker season 2 premieres Aug. 21 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max. Read the original article on People

Combine Pedro Almodóvar with stop-motion and you get Adult Swim's most unexpected yet perfect show

In the annals of things I could not have seen coming, none has been more unexpected than 'Women Wearing Shoulder Pads,' a queer Spanish-language stop-motion comedy melodrama, set in the aesthetic world of a 1980s Pedro Almodóvar film. (It arrives Sunday at midnight on Adult Swim, the home of things one doesn't see coming, and premieres the next day on HBO Max.) Though it takes place in Ecuador, its central character, Marioneta Negocios (Pepa Pallarés), is Spanish, and it's easy enough to imagine Almodóvar muse Carmen Maura in the role — though it is also impossible to imagine the story told as well, or at all, in any other way. When I call this series perfect, notwithstanding the happy imperfections of its puppets and sets, it's not because everything works as its meant to, but because there's nothing you can measure it against — it occupies its own self-created space. Every element is necessary. Even presenting it in English would be to lose romantic, dramatic, telenovelistic force. At the center of the story is the cuy, a guinea pig eaten in Andean South America, though in this telling they're also used in a version of bullfighting. (Some cuys are large enough to ride on.) The primary action is a power struggle between Marioneta, a socialite running a campaign promoting cuy as pets, not food, and Doña Quispe (Laura Torres), who has risen from life as a humble butcher to the anything-but-humble CEO of the country's most famous restaurant, El Cuchillo (the knife). Mixed up in their lives are Coquita Buenasuerte (Gabriela Cartol), Marioneta's seemingly happy-go-lucky assistant; Espada Muleta (Kerygma Flores), a matadora in love with Marioneta; Nina (Nicole Vazquez), Doña Quispe's vegetarian daughter, serving a pro-cuy group as its Minister of Refreshments and Head of Recruitment for Rebellious Teens — 'I have looked upon the caged cuy through the prison of capitalist enterprise, through the hubristic iron bars of a homocentric world view' — who will become a pawn in the older women's game. Not everything will be as it seems. Created by Gonzalo Cordova (a veteran of 'Tuca & Bertie' and 'Adam Ruins Everything') and produced by the Mexican animation studio Cinema Fantasma, the series comes packaged as eight 11-minute episodes — that is cartoon length — which neatly constitute a short feature film. On the bill are mystery, suspense, terror, revenge, hot romance (including some puppet sex), masked stalkers, performance art, love notes posted with knives, parodies of television shows and commercials, old secrets coming to light and nuns singing karaoke. From 'Gumby' to 'Rudolph' to 'Wallace and Gromit' to 'The Fantastic Mr. Fox,' stop motion is of all forms of animation most magical and in its real-space, three dimensional, handcrafted way the most like life, if not necessarily the most lifelike. (It can look ungainly, which is also part of its charm.) It's a magnification of childhood playtime, a puppet show in which the puppets have broken loose from the puppeteers. The cleverness of the execution is as or more important than how seamless it is. 'Women Wearing Shoulder Pads' does all sorts of neat tricks, some you notice and more you simply accept — and when deemed necessary, or just amusing, it will insert a live-action hand or mouth. It's an exaggerated world — appropriately to the heavy-breathing material — but emotionally expressive, even moving, and lots of fun.
