"Please know that your employer will always value their bottom line over your dignity. I loved this job. I am so so sad."

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…

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…

Is it really even petty revenge when you revoke your recently ex-employers' access to your personal software that you paid for and were only using for your work out of goodwill? At that point, you're just reclaiming what was rightfully yours, to begin with, and since the company had been effectively leasing your software license, you might as well go ahead and send them a bill for however long they had been using it, too . It's not your fault if they can't properly invest in the resources neede…

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…

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…

New bosses love to bring in new ideas, barreling into situations they know next to nothing about and waving their authority in order to make broad-sweeping changes that they say are for the better. Meanwhile, everyone else glances sideways at each other and braces for the worst. You can probably see where this is going, as it always does with these types of situations: short-sighted cost-cutting hamstringing vital operations that only cost the company more in the long run when everything goes b…

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.

Getting fired within your first week or two of starting a new gig takes effort. You have to be so wildly unfit for the role that no one will take the chance to train you. There are a few thousand people who witnessed some of the worst first days of work ever , and they're telling the stories in the r/AskReddit community. Up next, these people have some interesting dating preferences, like one person who insists, “ Their date must have the same brand of toothpaste preference .”

You think you know a person… and then they let you down. It's human nature: nobody's perfect, and everybody makes mistakes. Next up, read the exact opposite of this article: here are some workers who quit on the spot thanks to their utterly awful bosses, with one person revealing, “An entire department quit on the spot .”

At some workplaces, you're encouraged to ask questions, while at others, the bosses take it as a sign of incompetence. After that, these people revealed the funniest things they've ever gotten in trouble for, like one baffled person who shared that “ At the age of 11 I received a speeding ticket … on my bike.”

If you ever feel like you're failing at your job, these stories will make you feel like a model employee in comparison to the folks who couldn't make it a single day. That's right, some people get fired from their jobs before they can even meet everyone in the office. It's rare, but it happens, and it's often memorable. You know it's memorable when more than 23,000 people replied to u/roor1337's query: “People who got fired on the first day of the job, what happened?" Up next, an impatient DIYe…

When this guy got called into the head boss's office , he had a feeling it wasn't a good sign. Getting a message from HR or the higher-ups you never really speak to can send a shiver down an employee's spine. Having to have one of these important talks can mean getting put on a PIP plan if the boss is unhappy with their work. Sometimes, HR will have to call an important meeting if the employee has been bothering other employees. There are a lot of reasons these spontaneous meetings might happen…

This worker noticed a tiny mistake in their work schedule , but since it was their last day, there was no way they were going to tell the boss about it. Whether you've given your two weeks' notice to your job, or you've been let go by your company , those last few days or hours of work are special. You only have a few more hours where you'll be around your coworkers and bosses. You'd better make it count! This phone kiosk employee, u/Likawaii, knows that firsthand. The worker shared that not on…

When an account manager accused this worker of making a big mistake, the employee came back with receipts. U/LucyAriaRose knows the value of getting things in writing, as he shared in a post to the r/pettyrevenge subreddit. While working in a client-facing job , there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that the client never gets to hear about. For this medical equipment company worker, that meant that their work in the contracting department was “challenging." And, he added, if he didn't ge…

Management doesn't have any idea what you do; let's just get that out of the way.
