So yesterday, after I was done cleaning, I went straight to my office room, where I stayed till the end of the day (with poop breaks every hour). I was so embarrassed that I wanted to avoid everyone. When I finished my job, I headed to my car. I was surprised when I noticed only a few cars in the parking lot. That was very unusual, but I thought it was because it was Friday. Today I wanted to meet up with my boss as soon as possible, so I came at the same time as he usually arrives (6:30-7:00). But when I went to his office, he was nowhere to be found. I saw his assistant, Clair (fake name). She looked up from her laptop and was shocked to see me. I asked her about the boss, and she told me that he is sick, some stomach issues, and he is not the only one. Apparently half of our company felt sick yesterday. I asked:
- What happened?
- Oh, you know exactly what happened - and she smirked.
"Holy shit, did I bring some stomach virus?" I thought. She noticed my confusion and added that everyone had the same issue as me, and some people went home early yesterday because our toilet was occupied due to my shitty accident. Which explains why there were fewer cars in the parking lot yesterday. I asked her if the boss is still mad at me because of that. She laughed and told me that I have nothing to worry about and it was Rob's fault (also a fake name). Rob was this 18-year-old intern, son of a boss's friend, who was "helping" the customer care team. I wrote "helping" because he wasn't doing shit. Always late, always rude, and very entitled. The day before my shitty accident, he was yelling at the customers that they were stupid idiots for not understanding our return policy, and he (Rob) didn't have time for their bullshit. He was fired on the spot, obviously. He was extremely mad and told our boss he will regret this. Apparently he was here yesterday morning demanding to be rehired, but the boss didn't yield. And that was it. Or so we thought. Clair told me that her brother, who is working as a doorman in our company, met Rob at the bar. He was drinking with his friends and bragging about how he took his revenge on his old job. This motherfucker added tasteless laxatives to the water tank in our coffee machine and to the coffee grinder. I was speechless. The only unaffected people were those who drank tea that day. Boss already knows about Rob's actions and wants to sue him for harming others. As for my case, I don't think my boss is angry at me anymore, so I'll not lose my job because of the unflushable shit I left yesterday.
TL;DR: A fired intern added laxatives to the coffee machine, which caused stomach problems for me and my boss
