    I've heard of receivers being called in & people walking out with PC's, laptops, scanners & the like.
    I know a guy who knicked the company fuel card, that was a good one.

    If you're going down in a ball of flames what do you take with you ?.

    My mug that says "old accountants never die, they just lose their balance".

    In the other hand, I'd probably grab some rope and find a nice spot in the woods.

    I'm glad I'm not a lawyer or it would have been even worse - "Old lawyers never die, they just lose their appeal".:(

    I might not take anything, but I might end up leaving something steaming right slap bang in the middle of my bosses desk.


  • Posts: 5,121 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The company I work for has been bust for the past three years - looking around me there is nothing I will take whenever I finally get the chop.

    I took home any personal belongings ages ago.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,641 ✭✭✭bgrizzley


    I'd leave what sh1t is there to the receivers. I've anything of value salted away in the Caymans long ago...


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,562 ✭✭✭eyescreamcone


    When a well known car manufacturer closed in Cork in the mid 1980s.
    My dad bought a clapped out Sierra and drove it in to work and over the last few days put a new engiene, shocks and wheels on it.
    Go Dad!!!

    He wasn't the only one!!!
    No wonder the place went bust!!! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert


    All the servers and monitors I could carry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,520 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    I took pens. I lack imagination.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,997 ✭✭✭Adyx


    We're closing down on Saturday! I took 6 Hoegaarden glasses. :eek: The last place I worked I took the door off a press behind the bar. It's a really big door and over the years nearly everyone who worked there had signed it, drew on it or left little messages. Slightly related, I've never been fired nor have I ever actually quit a job. I think I must be a jinx.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,485 ✭✭✭dj jarvis


    a company i worked for 2 years ago went bust but they told us at 5:30pm and as we left the meeting room , the receiver had a security company ESCORTING staff around the building , as this was happening the security company were changing ALL exterior locks , they even posted guys on the doors to stop anyone going back in

    we never had a chance to grab anything - the BLASTARDS :mad:

    this was 2 weeks before feckin Christmas , you think they could have done it after as not to ruin everyone's holidays - SUPER BLASTARDS :mad::mad:

    and i was contracting for them so no feckin redundancy - SUPER DOOPER BLASTARDS :mad::eek::mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,876 ✭✭✭Scortho


    I'd make sure i had the client list! Especially the big client list! Go out on me own and take all their old work

    If i was an ex target worker Id be getting in contact with a few of my collegues and getting my hands on a few trucks. I'd definitely be going after all there old work. Get one of the old managers on board who you got on well with for the contacts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 556 ✭✭✭Carson10
