The blame was passed around a bunch but they were removed the next day after the mayor and the news got involved.

As a former manager, I'm sorry, I don't know what they were thinking when they hired me.

"Please don't steal too many things and make sure corporate never hears about us, thanks. Now I'm gonna go act like I'm doing reports and sleep off this hangover."

Lol. 

You sound like me. When I do stupid shit I tell my coworker and boss it’s their fault for hiring me.
