## Resource

Episode 4 of I Used To Work There delivers one of the most dynamic mixes of stories yet, blending chaos, humor, and moments that feel almost too wild to be real. From a shocking late-night call involving an employee who’s been shot at a 7-Eleven, to a Christmas party karaoke performance that nearly derailed a career, this episode captures the unpredictable reality of the workplace. You’ll also hear what happens when someone gets locked out of their house barefoot in the middle of a live Zoom meeting, along with stories of stranded workers, unexpected hires, and the kinds of situations no training ever prepares you for. As the episode builds, the tone shifts from light and relatable to intense and unforgettable, culminating in one of the craziest stories told on the show so far. These are real experiences from real people, told exactly as they happened, and they highlight just how unpredictable work life can be. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the shock, or the relatability, Episode 4 is a reminder that sometimes the most unbelievable stories are the ones that actually happened. Got a story? Tell it.
