'Government jobs.'

[G-CPTN]

I read a forum of (ex)employees of a nationwide chain (not 'logistics' - vehicle spares) that recently went into receivership. Some said that many had been on the fiddle and selling 'stolen' parts direct to customers for cash.
Large firms probably make such behaviour easier.
Any stories? Perhaps a new thread?

I did my apprenticeship at a company that built equipment for the MOD, but 'Government job' meant a 'homer' and was used to get access to materials without signing for them or to get priority for machining work (and of course extra care taken).
My full-time employer later was a vehicle manufacturer. Such jobs were known simply 'homers'.
Rumours suggested that bodywork repaints were being done on nightshift, and this came to a head when a new range of colours was introduced including a striking bright orange. After the first batch of body-shells had been painted (but before completed vehicles had reached the dealers) one 'turned up' in the employee carpark.
It didn't take long for security to spot it (stupid boy!) and several employees 'left' soon after . . .

The bigger the company the worse it was, visited a workmate at his house and his front door and window frames were all in company colours - 'can't be proved' says he.

People near the top of the tree are just as bad, this manager had to order 30 TV's and the well known fact was only a company who could supply 31 TV's for the price of 30 would get the job - the other one was for himself.

I am sorry to be a killjoy, but it sickens me.
