This is definitely not the tone you want to set before firing a bunch of people on your team! This boss had the audacity to send a team-wide message to boost everyone's morale by including the overused colloquial statement, “just remember that in da clurrb, we all fam.” Yes, it was written that exact way, and no, this message did not get the intended reaction from its audience. Instead, this toxic boss's employees responded with confusion, frustration, and eye-rolls about how outdated and despe…

In case you've never considered it before, yes, you can get fired at your job orientation . It probably makes things easier for the hiring team. Why bother hiring a person who can't even make it through the first few days of the gig? Some people get hired at a job , but they make it clear from day one that they're just utterly uninterested in doing work for even a minute. One guy chose to only work from 10 AM-12 PM each day, which is iconic of him, and I wish him all the best. Another woman bec…

"They ended with 11 new complaints over the course of a week (not even counting the ones from years past from past employees who also left because of him)."

"I'm being encouraged by management to 'reflect on my life to figure out where it all went wrong'..."

No one wants to get booted from their job unexpectedly, but these people had some pretty embarrassing reasons for losing their jobs ! Have you ever had one of those friends who will tell you the wildest story you've ever heard, and then expect you to take their side even though they're clearly wrong? A lot of these people are just like that, displaying the most unhinged behaviors at work, and then expecting their bosses and coworkers to side with them. I know those HR PowerPoint sessions about…

"They fired me over email, while I was on vacation. I just can’t understand how people can treat someone like that."

This dude's former boss had an interesting idea of what loyalty meant. It's an odd query: should you shop where you work ? If you work at a restaurant, would they expect you to eat their food? Or if you work at a clothing store, would your boss be offended if you showed up wearing clothes from a different store? It depends on the workplace, but it's a bit strange to force requirements like this on your employees. I mean, don't show up to your retail job wearing the competitor's clothing… but wh…

Fur babies are JUST as important...

Another work day, another pointless meeting...

Being fired from your job on day one should earn you some type of medal. It's a very special achievement after all. When managers are training a new employee, they expect them to mess up basically every task for a while. But you can't chock up everything to being unaware or untrained. Some things, like employees who can't focus on the job or those who berate the customers, have to go ASAP. Up next, read about a couple of the “worst lawyers ever," who got lazy when drafting a retirement document…

We've all been the new kid at a job.

Imagine getting told by your boss that you're too expensive for your job and then costing them way more money to fire you. Let this story serve as a warning sign for some of the higher-ups out there that firing someone just might end up with more expensive consequences than keeping that person onboard. Here , we have a Technical Director at a company in Southern Europe who managed to get full compensation for a year after his dismissal before signing on to work for his former company's biggest…

"An intern “failing” at ANY task is not a failure of the intern, it’s a failure of the leadership of the organization."

Talk about a savage way to go! This Redditor was offered a job on a military base that required him to relocate to Japan. However, after just one week, he was let go with barely any explanation. He hadn't even gotten a chance to execute his central responsibilities in the position since that first week was largely about getting settled and doing minimal training. Instead, he was dismissed with next to no explanation. His boss told him there would be other jobs on the base so it's not like he wo…

There are some pretty embarrassing ways to get fired from one's job. Typically, everyone worries about the reaction from the person getting booted. Will they make a scene? Will they get hostile? Will they call their boss out on their complete lack of adequate management skills? However. more often than not, we come across stories where the people doing the firing should really be the ones who are embarrassed. Here, we have an employee who logged onto a Zoom call with HR. Just when they mentione…

Imagine helping build something from the ground up, only to have your contribution entirely dismissed and undervalued. This CEO is giving an Elizabeth Holmes level of ruthlessness after cheating her former CTO out of his promised shares in the company just before its official launch. This, of course, was after two years of contracted work on the CTO’s part in helping develop the app and raise funding for the startup. Once the CEO found an investor who signed onto the company as her COO, this Re…
