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.

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

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

“It looks like retaliation for whistleblowing.”

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…

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.
