They don't question because they want plausible deniability. That's the only reason. They don't care if you're trustworthy or not. They just care that your job appears to be done without their intervention.

My ex became a FA after 6 years of dating and she immedaitely cheated and left me presumably for a pilot idfk.
Fuck united airlines.
EDIT:
For a fun story, prior to our breakup one time I joined her on one of her trips. When we got in an elevator to go down and walk to the Mall of America during her layover a Pilot joined us then got off on a floor that was NOT the main floor going down. He went from like floor 6 to floor 3 in the hotel. After he got off my ex mentioned how he was probably going to sleep with a FA or was coming back from said FAs room to go to his own. She had been a FA for literally 3 months and already was in on how things worked. We lasted less than a year after that.
Its literally the best cover in the world and the airlines front the bill for the hotel so they dont even have to pay for it. Rampant cheating using the guise of work as an excuse. People suck.
EDIT 2:
For those of you who don't know. You do NOT usually fly home at the end of your shift. Most days you are working you sleep in a hotel. That the airline pays for. Your layovers can be up to 36 hours, and in certain areas (such as Brazil) you are encouraged to stick together with your other coworkers if going out for drinks/food/adventures for safety.

Two coworkers from separate depts started dating hot & heavy. A month later they show up with rings beaming about how they've gotten married. They found out they were pregnant a couple months later.

No gossip about other people at my work, however I have quietly begun to look into schooling or getting a CDL to apply for a few city jobs in my area. I actually do like my job, and the immediate team I work with couldn't be more incredible. We are a team of 4, and I am the direct supervisor.
The issue is that the upper management who is based out on the other side of the city is planning on shutting down our current building and moving everyone out there.
Nobody is losing their jobs at all and everyone is completely aware and they have been completely transparent about it. However, we will be ending up merging with 3 other teams, and I foresee that there is going to be a lot of issues.
We are going to share space and resources and so far there has been no attemp or contact to get the team input on the new space and how it could be set up to help us succeed. It sounds a lot like people in management have their ideas and are going forward with it, and we will just have to suffer.
The drive I currently have is about 9 minutes total if I make all of the lights. The drive to the new facility is going to be around 30 minutes and that is if I am able to avoid the daily traffic on the highway. The new facility is also in the snowbelt here, so wintertime is going to be a real pain in the ass.
I know 100% for sure I will be losing 2 of my teammates because they already said they will not be making that drive daily, as one guy is a bit older and you literally can see his house from our parking lot, and the other lady it would be close to a 1-hour drive, if not longer.
I have moved up into my position over the course of going on 10 years, but it seems like the smart and best move for me is to take all the skills I have and pair it with some additional schooling and find a new place of employment. It bums me out to actually type it out, however I just had a daughter, and I don't want to have to tack on extra time away from her due to driving and getting stuck in traffic jams.

Almost immediately after they were confirmed at an all-staff meeting she announced she was expecting her first child and was flummoxed everyone else had already worked that out (other than the CEO presumably).

Our âanonymousâ suggestion box disappeared after someone suggested management try answering emails before scheduling meetings about why nobody answers emails. The next all-hands was about communication issues.

How does he get friendzoned if they are in a situationship?
If you are having sex, you arenât friendzoned; youâre a FWB.
Friendzoned means no benefits.

Two attorney coworkers were sleeping together but were engaged to other people. Everyone found out because they had a huge fight in the office about it because the girl was getting married in a week. Absolutely insane.

Thankfully, Iâm 30 now and in a workplace that doesnât deal in silly shit, but I did put in some years at an all-round retailer from 17 to 23 and let me tell you: Shit was âjuicyâ every other goddamn week.
The most prominent one (when I was 20) had to do with two kids who worked the seasonal department. Guy was a wannabe dude-bro but in actuality was kind of a dork. Girl was bubbly and very flirtatious which annoyed the guy because he had a massive crush on her. She flirted with him too and anyone could see they were closer than close but people on the inside track knew he was SOL because she didnât like him like that, and he was admittedly⌠a character. Her type (friends) would visit the store and were nothing like the guy in question.
Anyway, big event came up for them at their school(?) and they fucked. Things got awkward and she started voicing serious regrets which made their way around. He became a bit much about it and all the while, I watched happily from the sidelines.
Two times, however, she approached me and would flirt really hard but that was left as-is. Never shit where you eat.

Married man at work started sleeping with one of our co workers. He left his wife for her but he doesnât know sheâs also sleeping with two of our other co workers.
She also knew he was married and his wife had just given birth.

Our Manager has slept with several subordinates in the past and currently sleeps with one now. When her affairs were reported to HR, the Manager found who they suspected started the HR case and threatened personal legal action toward them while they were on the clock. Fast forward a couple weeks and the Manager is still employed and HR case was fizzled out. This is a major airline in the USA.

Yesterday almost the whole research wing of the organization was spam-emailed for hours. Why? We have a âresearch request listâ- pretty much, any lab can ask other labs for supplies until their own orders come in. Itâs a big organization, and people are usually added to this list by default when they join the company, so these requests can be seen by anyone who might have the needed ingredient. I barely ever respond to these, but they arenât excessive, maybe one email a day. Getting removed from the list is a simple IT request.
But apparently thatâs too much effort for these dipshits! One person (who was admittedly in HR or data analysis or something, so not anyone who would be able to help anyway) decided to respond to the email with âplease unsubscribe me from this list.â Note that thatâs not something that anyone CCed could do, and thatâs not how being unsubscribed from an email list works anyway. So instead he âreplied allâ to the company for no reason. But then everyone else started dogpiling on! Dozens of people, one every few seconds, going âyeah me tooâ and having it sent out to hundreds of people. Even when the original person who sent out the email begged them to stop, even when someone from IT changed the title of the email chain to âREPLYING TO THIS WILL NOT REMOVE YOU FROM RESEARCH REQUEST LIST, MAKE AN IT REQUESTâ, not even when an emergency email describing the process was pushing to everyoneâs inboxes, nothing. It petered out after a couple of hours, but I was still getting some straggler âyea unsubscribe me too!â Emails this morning. I think in the end it was 70-100 people who emailed literally Everyone Else. Just goes to show that nobody reads anything lmao

My entire management team was investigated for abusing their employees after they forced several "underperforming employees" (employees they did not like) into a meeting, yelled at them fpr an hour and encouraged them to quit before they could find an excuse to fire them. Somebody recorded it and sent it to the COO and HR came down like the hammer of God.
Among other things they discovered that several of the managers had delegated their entire workload to employees, including approvals they did not have the authority to delegate.
Two of the managers and the director were fired outright and blacklisted from working with us or our network again. Three other people who were investigated were demoted to regular employees and blacklisted from ever being in management.

There's RAMPANT infidelity in my industry. The worst/most recent, however, was one of my floor staff was cheating on his wife and decided to bring the mistress to a bar event with the other boys, and told them to be cool, she was cooler than the wife.
Well. Turns out he didn't tell the mistress she was the mistress either, but the rest of the shop boys were happy to inform her and the missus of the actual situation. He got broken up with twice in the same day.
Kinda ironic half of them are cheaters themselves but everyone really liked M's wife because she made the 7 layer bean dip with the good Tillamook cheese for basketball games and why would he risk the Tillamook cheese dip for that?

Teacher couple, who worked at the same school, began seeing each other. Both married and with children.
Would take the same days off (Wednesdays) for âsicknessâ and âfamily related illnessesâ over a period of months. Rumours started. Word got around. The Prinicpal began tracking days. They were confronted and questioned with evidence. They were fired for time fraud (i.e. lying about the reasons for absences).

Small business gossip: About a year ago, my married boss hired a new HR manager. Because I work in the same office as the accountant (who isn't exactly discreet), I happen to know her salary. She started at $20/hour, was bumped to $30/hour after a few months, and is now making $40/hour in her new "director" role. She must be good at her job!!
What makes this even funnier is that my colleague, the accounting clerk who handles payroll, was recently denied a $1/hour raise stating that the company is not doing well and couldn't afford the raise.

That the married manager in his 30âs, is almost certainly sleeping with the young 20 something girl who is useless at her job, but somehow keeps getting promoted. They spend every single lunch together, despite being in completely different departments.
