Top 10 ridiculous moments in /Abbot history.

[lazyasat]

1) a former employee having sex with a subject in the bathroom and getting fired over it
(Gracie).

2)2 dudes having sex in the shower, then the staff pulling everyone inside the cafeteria to lecture us about it with a straight face

3) Jake, (one of the favorite staff members of all time) getting canned because of some BS incident with a crazy wackjob who kept hearing voices had to be escorted out bc of having guns in his trunk, and threatened Jake who swore back at him and got fired due to upper management not having a clue on how to retain the most liked staff members.

4) A former subject faking seizure at the old abbott to get out of a study in the cafeteria and being put and taken away in a wheelchair

5) a real life pimp from ghetto suburb of North Chicago doing a study having to constantly call his hoes every night to keep them in check

6) A female subject stuffing food she didnt want to eat down her cleavage and having it fall out of her shirt as she walked up to show them her tray

7) Someone jizzing on the tv screen and the staff having to check the cameras to see who did it

8) Someone stealing multiple rice krispie treats at snacktime which led to an entire room check for all groups bc of one hungry idiot

9) A subject who took a video recording of himself and thus someone who didn't want anyone to know he was in there at the time suing (and thus that's why we have the red tape on the camera rule

10) A subject who got seizures from jumping to a PPD study in between a long study who got a monthly settlement from as compensation.

There is way too much ego at . Just one example is the dude that's now in charge on the floor. Looks like Mr. Clean and acts like he's Hitler. I have never been so diespected in a professional environment before in my LIFE. I can't believe he's still working there.

His name is Andreas. He's a hard worker and generally good guy however he shows a different side when he gets stressed and it's pretty ugly. There was one time where he was very rude to the "subjects" and also to the staff. He made one of the female techs cry for no good reason. The last time I went there, just a few months ago, he seemed better but still has an edge to him.

As for #2 of the top 10........

you guys know your stuff.
re *****, he's a jarhead,and acts like it. i very much appreciate him being there. at the old it was like a lot of places where the inmates run the asylum. ****** helps keep people in line and give a little structure. i wish they would enforce quiet in the quiet room. the main thing that makes work is that it's big enough. if there's some annoying people in your study you can usually find a corner somewhere away from them.

anyway, the study i screened for recently is not listed online. i didn't realize was like a lot of clinics where you can't trust the online info; you have to keep calling the recruiters to get the inside scoop.

You 're kidding right? "Hitler"? I've met Andreas he's one of the nicest staff members I met.  I thought he was very down to earth to the participants.  I've never seen his "bad side" but i'd have a bad side too if subjects were pulling some of the garbage listed in that top 10 list, wasn't around to see all that stuff happen.
