Employees In Lebanon Reveal Shady Stories About Their Jobs (Part 2)

Tarek (Computer Shop & Repair)

“Once a lady visited the store with a faulty Mac recharger, we quickly checked it and told her it was dead and she needed a new one. In fact, the recharge was working well but the two sockets of the adapter were a little apart from each other which lacked to provide constant power, and that could be fixed with your two fingers in 3 seconds. On top of that, we made her buy a fake Mac adapter as genuine.”

Maria (University instructor)

“My quinquagenarian colleague is a racist, sexist and homophobe lawyer who happened to be a professor at a very reputable university in Lebanon; been teaching many generations with such mentality”.

Joe (Web Developer)

“My former company was late in paying my allowances, so i accessed many websites i used to work on, made a mess with some bugs I could only resolve. They contacted me, paid me and fixed the whole issue”.

Wissam (Company Admin)

“My company provides many items like coffee, creamers, ketchup and napkins, back in 2021 I helped myself by taking what I need for my personal home use. Things became very expensive and the company didn’t reconsider our wages”.

Joyce (Accountant)

“I have no knowledge whatsoever about accounting, i just fill data, print invoices, answer the phone and please the boss”

Grece (Medical Aid)

“In-vitro is a 50-50 process, and we make sure to benefit the most of this 50% chance by procuring prescribed medicines to desperate women in return for a commission from retailers who control the flux of these medicine in the market. We were also faced with tentative requests to take part in the ovaries smuggling ring, i refused that, but i could not say the same about other colleagues.”

Antoine (Casino Du Liban)

“The number of incidents that occurs inside the Casino and its premises is beyond description. Fights, threats, shootings and even suicides which are never reported to the public. It is what it is in this business.”

Samar (Journalist)

“Many succeed in journalism in Lebanon, but it’s only due to one condition. Climb the ladder faster and that requires climbing on superiors, that’s what i did with my sexagenarian editorial boss”

Raghid (IT Department)

“I’ve been conducting a side-business inside my place of work, with my full access to every platform, emails, and overall system I was able to change information and evaluations in return of large sum of money. The best thing is that i don’t leave any trace behind, after all i’m the one who should be looking for such traces.”
