This is a question Dodgy work ethics

Chthonic asks: What's the naughtiest thing a boss has ever asked you to do? And did you do it? Or perhaps you are the boss and would like to confess.

I can't eat Terry's Chocolate Oranges either
That's cos I worked at Terry's of York for a couple of months about a decade ago...when there was still a Terry's factory in York.

Worst job I ever had, even given the huge amount of chocolate we were able to stuff down our clothes and smuggle out each morning as the night shift ended.

I never saw anyone washing their hands after going to the toilet, but I used to wash mine BEFORE I went for a piss, to get the gunky, shitty, chocolate residue off my hands.

We had people walk off the line every night it was so relentless, one bloke broke a finger stacking full boxes onto a pallet the pace was so fast.

The smell inside was rank.

Wish I'd got a got at Rountrees instead - or Nestles - could have been packing Polos and KitKats...

And if you'd been at Cadbury's
you could've been packing fudge.

work in any food production factory is remarkably the same

Talking to a truck driver some years ago
He was telling me that he was parked up in a car park in York having his lunch when he noticed a JCB doing some digging not so very far from him. Suddenly there was an almighty bang and blue flash , the digger driver had cut through a live electicity cable . No one was hurt but the Terry's Chocolate factory came to a grinding halt as it was the very cable that supplied them with power.
