'I was looking forward to a 70% pay bump': Employee jeopardizes a promotion after getting caught by the CEO playing Pokémon Go on his phone

There's nothing worse than that sinking feeling in your stomach when you get caught doing something you're not supposed to be doing. It makes you feel like a scolded child hiding late-night comic books under the covers after bedtime. Most of us learn pretty quickly how to hide our secretly debaucherous activities to avoid feeling this way, but the guy in our next story totally failed to follow the fail-safes of secrecy in the workplace, causing him to nearly lose a promotion.

We all know that you're not 'supposed to' be on your phone at work, but who isn't? Everyone scrolls memes, texts their friends, and enjoys the perks of having a pocket-sized computer with them at all times (in fact, you're probably scrolling on your phone right now!). But when the CEO is around, it's time for all the hooligans to whip into shape and pretend they don't even have a phone. Suddenly everyone's a model citizen–except for the dingus playing Pokemon Go under the table when the CEO surveys his desk. Scroll for the entire cringe-worthy story of how a guy risked everything at work just to catch a wild Caterpie.
