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…

What's the point of having vacation days if you're not allowed to use them?

“It looks like retaliation for whistleblowing.”

Never become too attached to your job. Unfortunately for Ted, his loyalty to the company would never be rewarded. Instead, despite working at his company for more than 40 years, he would be unceremoniously fired over a Zoom meeting. To make matters worse, Ted was given a nice severance package, but only if he went along with a fabricated story his boss concocted that he had actually resigned to pursue other career opportunities. As the Redditor recounts in their post, everyone was distraught af…

Finally, a bad manager getting the karma he deserves. This manager made such a wrong call that he nearly cost the company 200 thousand dollars. Ouch. At the company, a particular manager is a real stickler for the rules and has always had it out for one particular employee. After firing him under trivial circumstances, what the manager didn't know was that this employee was responsible for a very expensive piece of software for which he was the only one at the company with a license to. Well, w…

New employees are not supposed to spend their first day at a job fearing that they will be immediately fired. The typical first day should involve getting to know one's coworkers and employers, becoming adjusted to daily tasks and responsibilities, and gaining a general understanding of the expectations in this new workplace environment. One should not feel tested on day one or threatened by a competing coworker. Unfortunately for this warehouse employee , he arrived on the job and instantly fo…

Landing a job after a full year of unemployment elicited the biggest sigh of relief for this asset management employee; that is, until he was fired a mere two months later. Of course, the employee was not at fault here. In fact, he was working hard to ensure that he was a necessary hire for the company, to no avail. He even went out of his way to do the work of other employees when they were on their breaks or when they called in sick. However, none of that extra work was recognized or validate…

Arts & Craft stores seem to attract a lot of Karens…

Listen, I just think you should be able to take a drive-thru order in whichever voice you feel like. The employees at fast food restaurants get super unbelievably bored of saying the same, “Hi, how can I help you?” phrase over and over. After you say it dozens of times per day, you start to hate the phrase. Why not change it up a little? One person replying to this hilarious thread did just that, but sadly, they got canned for their creativity.

What in tarnation is “food shaming”????
