Tell us a funny or embarrassing story while you were at work?
One time a co-worker was sick one day. Our boss text him to see if he’d be in the next day. The co-worker said “yes” so our boss replied with “10-4” (as in “sounds good”). 6:00 AM rolls around and the co-worker hasn’t showed up. Turns out, he thought 10-4 meant he was working from 10:00AM to 4:00PM. It’s still a running joke within the Shop Coatings Division everyday.
