[Thread] Have you ever taken advantage of or misused company perks? What happened, and did it come back to bite you, or was it all in good fun?

One night, I took some big clients to a high-end strip club for "bonding" and closed a deal. The bill was huge, but I put it on the company card like usual. A couple of weeks later, finance flagged the expense due to the "interesting" descriptions on the receipt. They weren't buying my client relations excuse, and I got fired.

But here's the twist—I knew some senior execs had their own shady expenses: coke and escorts. I hinted to HR that I could go out and say something about that if needed. A week later, I was back at my desk, and the strip club incident never came up again.

Damn! I guess we all are guilty of making fake internet bills for Income tax benefits :/

at my prev company females used to get drop off service with security escort post 9pm. I’ve seen many females coming in late for work so that they get this free cab services.

ngl, this service is much needed especially in city like BLR, but just don’t misuse it :/

You guys have perks?
