I step in and tell her \u201cA permanent replacement is just beginning the process, we have had to issue you this phone as a loaner so you can continue working until a permanent replacement is sourced\u201d.<\/p>\n
Queue Wednesday, the approval process has come back denied for her replacement, the loaner phone is now her permanent phone.<\/p>\n
This info is relayed to the EA, who is fuming, lots of \u201cEXECUTIVE WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS\u201d and statements of \u201cI can\u2019t believe this is happening to me, how will I work?\u201d<\/p>\n
Wednesday afternoon, same EA, new ticket \u2013 iPhone broken, need replacement.<\/p>\n
I head out myself to see the issue and the phone looks like it was dragged behind a semi truck for 100 miles, the screen is shattered, a big chunk missing out the top near the camera, big dents in the back.<\/p>\n
I calmly ask \u201cWhat happened? This phone was perfect this morning?\u201d<\/p>\n
The reply: \u201cWell, since you gave me an old phone, my case didn\u2019t fit and it slipped out of my hands and fell down the stairs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Well ok, could you tell me when and what stairwell this happened? She does, and I take the mangled phone, I grab my manager and we head off to the security office, and we pull the tapes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\nOn the video we see the EA walking up the stairwell (concrete stairs, metal handrail, your typical big building non public stairwell) she reaches the top and proceeds to fling the phone, like one would skip a stone, down from the 6 floor to the mid floor landing, where it lands.<\/p>\n
She steps on it and then kicks it down to the 5th floor, it bangs off the metal fire door and she picks it up, examines it and then tosses it down the stairs to towards the 4th floor, bouncing off a few steps before landing on the mid landing between 5 and 4.<\/p>\n
She picks the device up, and pries a large section of something off the phone (We suspect this was the chunk missing by the camera) and then heads back up the stairs, running the phone against the cinder block wall as she climbs.<\/p>\n
So we grab a copy of the video, we head straight to HR, we sit with the personnel director, we show her the video, we show her the 2 damaged iPhones, we show her the tickets.<\/p>\n
I relay the abuse thrown to myself and my techs about how she demands an iPhone X and has taken to destroying company property to get it.<\/p>\n
Termination follows, however the user has gone home for the day, her accounts are disabled, her security badge flagged.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
She\u2019s in for a rude awakening.<\/p>\n
\n7:30 am today, the EA attempts to get into the building and her badge does not work, so she has to walk to the security office, the security officer takes the badge, and walks her to HR.<\/p>\n
8 am, the Security officer and two members of HR are escorting the EA out of the building, she\u2019s alternating between yelling and crying, Demanding that EXECUTIVE be called and that she\u2019s being framed.<\/p>\n
As she\u2019s brought through the main foyer, I\u2019m on the 2nd floor balcony that overlooks the entrance, she looks up at me, curses me and is gone.<\/p>\n
Both phones, her laptop and other equipment have been placed with the Legal team as a precaution. Company policy when there is a messy separation.<\/p>\n
Maybe I\u2019ll buy my team pizza for lunch today, seems like the right thing to do.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Let\u2019s get into the comments!<\/p>\n
This person hopes there\u2019s justice served.<\/p>\n

Another commenter thinks the delusion is obvious.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some people called out the hypocrisy of the situation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And others had some creative clap back suggestions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No, you can\u2019t pull one over on a company for your own selfish reasons!<\/p>\n
