I worked for a Penske car dealership that had an annual Christmas giveaway to employees.

We found out that the GM had been removing parts from vehicles and selling the parts for profit. Some of those profits went to his pockets. Some of those profits bought the company Christmas gifts.

I have a very nice $200 MSRP knife set that was received as a Christmas gift one year.

So yeah basically all the gifts were bought with money stolen from Roger Penske. Can’t say I care. Roger Penske is an evil fuck.

In a restaurant in Brussels. At the next table, two people discussed an upcoming minister-level EU meeting. One person was in charge (or at least had influence on) the meeting agenda, and was urged by the other person to drop a particular item off that list. They argued about possible excuses for not having this item on the meetings agenda, until the bureaucrat agreed, and the lobbyist handed him an envelope.

This reminds me that I had to sign one of those code of conduct documents at work last week.

I’m all for preventing corruption etc, but I have to say I am disappointed I have not once been offered a bribe. I’m not even asking for much, just one tiny bribe would be nice. Just to know I’m valued. You know?

Idk but you putting the title in quotes is kinda shady.
