    Here's one for everyone. I once got fired from a nursing home for "making fun of a deaf patient". The stupid head nurse had no idea that I not only knew sign language but the reason I learned when I was 6 was because of the patient's husband who was also deaf and the barber in town. Even the patient tried to tell her I was talking to her, but since head nurse didnt understand sign she had no idea WHAT SHE WAS SAYING

      At one of my jobs I was pulled into the office a for looking angry all the time. It was during Covid so 90% of my face covered. All you got to see were my intense eyes and naturally arched eye brows. Had to get in the habit of literally pulling my mask off to have interactions and explaining to people “it so you can see that I’m not upset”. I didn’t stay there long.

    I joined the Army at the age of 17 and when you sign up, you have to wait for the deployment date. I had a son on the way and had to get ready for all those life changing expenses that were coming. I had about 7 months of dead time to wait til then, so I took a job at Carl's Jr. (known as Hardy's in some states) fast food burger joint near my house as a part time job. My boss was great, she totally knew that I was there basically to wait til deployment and was grateful that I would take pretty much any shift she threw at me to cover holes in her scheduling because I liked her and when you are on my good side, I'm basically crazy loyal to you.
    She had to hire an assistant manager and she was absent for around a week, though I cant exactly recall why. On this assistant managers second day, I came in to pick up a check and was not on the schedule and she demanded I clock in and work. I was not even in my work clothes and i was like, wait - am I scheduled to be there? I wasn't; she had no one fill a last minute schedule drop and expected me to drop everything I was doing and take the slack. She was furious with me for even asking if I was scheduled. I literally couldn't that day as I was taking my gf at the time to see the doctor for a check in and so said, I'm sorry but this is one day I cant come in. She threatened to fire me so I said, "you have to do what you have to do, I'm sorry that is has to be that way, I'll bring my uniform in tonight when I get back from the doctor's". She was livid, screaming profanities at me in the parking lot as we drove away. Later that night, I turned in my two uniforms (clean and ironed) and left without a word. I didn't even see the manager that night.
    I should back up a moment to give some background I didn't know went on; when my boss was getting things sorted with the Assistant Manager, she had told her that if she needed to cover anything, to ASK me to come in first because I was usually willing to take the slack when I could. My boss had in passing also said that if I was not going into the military, she would have hired me to be the assistant manager. I guess this is what may have set this whole thing up for failure.
    My boss called me up once she returned, asking me to come in to pick up paperwork for my termination. I said sure, as I was going to be jogging to the school nearby and could hit the place on the way back. She sat me down and looked very upset with me, but didn't initially ask me anything...just had me sign some paperwork. I complied, and she finally asked what brought me to scream at the assistant manager and threaten her with violence. I sat there stunned; I gave my side of the story and told her no offense, I have no reason to lie and I don't really need this job enough to go toe to toe with someone whom is lying to her. She looked confused, and when I left she called a couple coworkers whom were in the restaurant when the incident happened.
    She called me again to apologize and told me that the assistant manager was fired. She asked me if I would be willing to return, I told her I found another job and thanked her. She apologized again for not trusting her gut on the matter since she felt the story was "a little off" with my actions in the past. The truth was I didn't have another job to fall back on at the moment, but I didn't want to go back to work for someone that was so easily swayed to a story about me that was false about my character. Of course I felt betrayed but it was not a job worth keeping at that point.

    I once got “laid off” because they “didn’t need anyone in that position anymore.” But my mom also worked there and said they hired someone else to replace me, and my mom overheard the boss telling someone that I was actually fired because she “didn’t like the way I sat in chairs.” I essentially got fired because I would slouch.

    I got fired from my first actual job at Walmart (worked the farm before this) because I stupidly held back a Furby for a customer, told another customer it was on hold, then 5 hours later when the original customer didn't come back I'd decided to clock out 5 minutes early (which we were allowed to do) so I could put the Furby on layaway. I'd actually gotten to like the little guy. Next shift I got called into a meeting with the manager & HR and was told that I was being fired for theft. When I asked what I had stolen, they said the Furby. I told the HR & Manager that they'd better have another excuse for firing me because if I find out they put theft down as my termination reason, I would sue for defamation. When they laughed and asked how that was possible I responded "Is the Furby in question still in the store?" yes. "Did I put the Furby on layaway with my own money?" yes. "Is it policy that an employee can clock out 9 minutes before the end of their shift?" yes.
    "So I didn't steal time by putting the Furby on layaway on the clock, I didn't remove the Furby from the store, AND I paid for said layaway with my own money. What did I steal that would warrant a theft dismissal?" They then pulled a "oh....we're firing you for no call, no shows on X dates" Looked at them again "You mean the dates I drove to the store while having the flu and being sent home BY YOU *pointed to manager*, those dates?" I threw my keys on the desk after that and walked out of the store. That following Friday I returned, went to Layaway and got my stolen Furby, making sure that the manager saw me and saw the Furby with my receipt. I still have Shammy (it was the limited edition Shamrock Furby) as a reminder that I owe employers nothing other than what they pay for from me.

      Walmart fired me too but it was because I took leave being pregnant and constantly sick, had a doctor's note for bed rest. They were fine with this and asked me to get a doctor's note for a temporary leave anyways because I was constantly sick at work. 3 months later Started feeling good enough on medicine to want to try to go back to work for at least the two months untill I had the baby and they told me that they would not let me come back unless I would lift 50 lbs and do regular job requirements regardless of me still being pregnant. The problem was the hiring and firing manager could not have kids, she was mad that I was having one when I wasn't even trying to. I was married but we were not actually trying to have kids at the time. Then I did not know it was illegal or that I could sue.

    I’ve never been fired, but I purposely sabotaged an interview. My husband wanted me to get a job at this place with rotating shifts in a production factory. I absolutely did not want that job, so during the interview I told them that I refused to work holidays. They ended the interview right after that, then I acted clueless as to why I didn’t get hired.

And you didn't feel like you could just tell him no and explain why? Was there some question that you could get something else? What possible reason could it have been easier to secretly bomb an interview then it was to talk to the person that vowed to love and support you?

    I was let go and it was deemed unlawful. I had a kidney infection and was not even allowed to take care of my own kid anymore. My doctor only allowed me to go home if I had someone to take care of me and my kid. I landed a job paying 2x as much working from home when I recovered and got a settlement from the place that found a kidney infection unacceptable. My doctor was livid at them. I could barely move when I had left work that night. My family ultimately took me to my doctor. Multiple people at work were begging me to let them take me to the ER because I looked like death.

    I was "let go" from a job because i was "creating a toxic workplace" because i was disgusted that my manager gave another employee (who was twice my age) my personal number, assigned said employee to work with me AFTER i told them how uncomfortable he made me, and would have us work alone together when wed have to drive to our other locations.
    I was only 18 and already had a fear of men and difficulty setting boundaries/being confrontational. It was pretty traumatic but i hadnt really liked the job anyways. I reported them for sexual harassment, breach of contract, etc to their parent company and got a nice little settlement in the end. 6 months pay plus both employees were fired 🥰

    On the first story I started feeling sorry for Meg. My mom died after a long battle with cancer complications. The cancer was gone but it left many health problems behind. After 10 years caring for her she passed away and I had that type of reaction. After a long decline it is numbing when they pass but you feel glad they’re no longer in pain. The loss of her didn’t really hit me until about three months later. Immediately after, I only felt at ease that her suffering was over. I thought that might be why Meg was reacting like she said. What a prick to use this type of situation that people really go through just to get a couple days off.

They ended up giving him platters for the funeral and everything.

They asked for a death certificate or obituary so they could write-off the platters. Clever. He was promptly fired.

Did a few through a first round and they weren't cleaned all the way (because mind you people wouldn't actually clean them) so I told the other people doing dishes in front of the manager "hey leave those bottles drying, I'm going to come back at the end of the night when I close and finish getting them clean" and did. (Also edit to add: no these weren't the only bottles available at the time, or the only ones for this product, we had probably 25-30 more bottles that were clean and several in the fridge holding the same product) I then got fired two days later for "not being able to wash dishes". Also found out after I was fired, before they removed me from the group chat, they were having the exact same issues after I was gone. I was then awarded at my next job "best cleaner and dishwasher" on top of best customer service. I don't think I was the issue. I also hated that job.

      I got let go from my second job, I don’t remember exactly what they said but the gist was that I was too slow and took too long to close. I didn’t question it at the time because I’d been having procrastination problems with school and at home (undiagnosed ADHD yippee), but looking back…I’d been moving at the same pace as everyone else, from what I remember. If I was “too slow” closing it was because I was being thorough, because the vacuum didn’t work and sweeping the carpet took twice as long if we wanted it to actually look cleaned, and because I actually mopped under the booths instead of only mopping the paths between. Also they put me on dish several times with no training or supervision (my job was to bus tables and bring stuff to dish, actually doing the dishes was never mentioned as part of the job) and I didn’t know what the expected pace was for dish; I really tried my best but that water was HOT and I was supposed to have my arms submerged for minutes at a time, of course I’m gonna take longer 😭 And now that I’m thinking about it, what the heck? My first job was drive-through, I knew fast-paced work! Never heard any complaints about my performance there! (Quit that job because a new manager was doing questionable things with our time cards, and by that point I’d already worked the number of hours needed for credit in my vocational program.)
      Anyway it was a chain restaurant and it’s still in business now but that specific location closed. Now I’m a server at a different restaurant and occasionally on the busiest days I’ll be admonished for moving too fast 😅 Everyone likes me there even though I don’t talk much because I always find work to do when there are no customers instead of just standing around, plus I know many helpful things. I’m actually one of the trainers for new hires now 😆 (we’re a training location; managers-in-training will be sent to our location for a few weeks before being assigned their own location, so not only have I trained new servers but I’ve also helped to train MITs).

I technically worked in the accounting department, but I was so good at my job that I would go from department to department once I finished all of my daily work in accounting, and I would help in all of these other departments. Because of that, I knew pretty much every job in the building And the only part of the accounting job that I wasn’t allowed to do because I was a temp was run the register and that was just policy. Well, one day I come in and find out that they hired somebody from the outside to work on the register, but Had to be trained to do everything else so I asked my manager for a meeting and just very plainly said, why would you hire her to do a job that I’m already trained to do except for the register and she bluntly told me well she had a degree and I knew I could hire her and keep you too so I can have my cake and eat it too! I said consider this the beginning of my two week notice. Once I left, I was still friends with many people in many departments that work there and I found out they went through five temps and ended up never being able to have someone in that position that I did again, but rather they had to get new temps for each of the different departments, including that one.

    I have an AMAZING karmic justice story I need to share! So in 2009 I started working a second job at a retail clothing store (just a pt position, a couple days a week) well after a few weeks I fell in love with the job and the company and eventually one of the 2 full time positions in the store became available (one was the store manager and the other was a full time assistant manager) so I applied and got the full time assistant job. Now it started off good but I soon began hitting heads with the store manager. She would sit in her office the entire shift, she would pop out once or twice every couple hours to ring up some sales to make it look like she was working, she would come to the store in the morning, clock in and then go tan or get her nails done, get food, etc. I didn’t want to cause issues so at first I didn’t say anything. Things continued to get worse as she knew no one that worked there liked her, she was rude, lazy, entitled. Eventually I had enough of doing my job and hers entirely by myself so I confronted her (keep in mind she was so mean to me, I would literally go into work in tears and leave in tears from just how mean she was to me) and of course she gets super defensive and says that she doesn’t do those things. Well about a week later I went into work and she called me into the office and fired me because of a “customer complaint”
    I didn’t fight it because I knew it wasn’t a healthy work environment for myself anyways but still the nerve she had stayed with me for years, I loved my job (aside from dealing with her) I loved my customers and employees, it was my dream to one day be a store manager for the company myself. so it killed me to not be working there anymore…here’s where Karma is just a beautiful beast!
    About 4 years ago I was Christmas shopping and ran into someone that worked at the store when I did and they told me that the manager had been fired (I don’t know what for but I’m assuming she finally got busted for what she was doing) so I applied to work back at that store, I got the job, worked my way back up and officially one year ago I WAS OFFERED THE STORE MANAGER JOB! She knows that I have this position and I would of paid any amount of money to have seen the look on her face when she found out 😂 needless to say she didn’t teach me much on running a happy and successful store but she certainly showed me what not to do, and now I have the best and most amazing team under me, they are supportive and encouraging and I just feel so lucky to be where I am! Karma truly is beautiful 🫶🏻

The new company closed the store for a bit for renovations and was not paying my mom during that time, but she was still technically employed. After a bit, they talked about having her go to a different store location to train for a bit before the original store was reopened. She trained for one day and then was fired.

    I have a very unfortunate RBF myself. And being an older lady (40) this has also been exacerbated by aging, wrinkles, bags under eyes etc that can't be hidden by makeup anymore. I have been described by co-workers as looking 'haggard' and 'upset' multiple times. Some customers have even said 'they knew I had a bad attitude from the sour look on my face the second they walked in' when issues have arisen. And I think 'how? I was smiling and saying welcome!' The RBF discrimination be real!

    We had one at work, it wasn't a death story but a pregnancy story. When someone says they're pregnant - and then loses the baby it's hard enough but this was happening over and over to this woman. So every time she announced, we were all so happy for her and were sad when she miscarried. The fourth time, she carried for a healthy amount of time (if anyone was suspicious, they kept it to themselves and not everyone shows) and left the job. Checked her social media a few months later and absolutely nothing about a baby. Not even another failed pregnancy (which she was very vocal about with the earlier ones). Nothing. I met up with her sister at a store and said "I'm really scared to ask because she has no info - did she lose the baby again?" Sister had no idea what I was talking about. Not with any of the past ones, nor this one that she presumably carried to term. She just loved the attention.

She spun such a great story to the point that both her own mother (a nurse at the same hospital, no less) and the parents of the former boyfriend believed her. The supervisors at work were putting her on light duty due to her "pregnancy." Turns out it was all a lie, and she was so deep into it that after she was fired they caught her back at the hospital lurking around the OB wing trying to steal a baby.

I tried to tell her that wasn’t the case but she threatened to call the cops on me for trespassing. Anyway, she fired most of the girls that worked there.

    So many of these stories are just a great example of terrible management and training not staff incompetence. Even the first story. My first office job, it was mostly admin but some extra stuff. In about month 4 the boss sat me down to go over what needed improving to continue my employment, the only critique she gave me was I didn't have enough 'sparkle' when answering the phones. I asked for an example because I honestly had no idea what that meant. She told me she couldn't explain but I needed to fix it. The day after I'd passed the probationary period they were 'restructuring' and my role was being split into two separate roles, I wasn't suitable for either role (despite it being the same tasks split into two!) so I was made redundant. In Aus there are redundancy laws, so she was required to pay out my leave and a certain amount for my time there. She tried to claim this payment was 'out of the kindness of her heart' not a legal requirement. I went to pack up my desk, I brought in my own keyboard because their keyboard sucked and meant you had to sit in an awkward position to use it because the cord was so short. She tried to claim it was the businesses keyboard and I was stealing it, until the other staff member there to do the firing told her they didn't own it, despite it literally having my name on it and not being looking anything like any of the other keyboards. This same business told my friend they would hold her position while she went on maternity leave, she hadn't been there the required amount for them to legally be required to do so by about 1 week, had she thought this would be an issue she would have happily gone on maternity leave a week later. They told her once she was on her maternity leave, they wouldn't be holding the role. It was role as a journalist, not only did they f*ck her over job wise they systematically went through the entire site and changed her byline on every story she'd ever written for them to her managers byline, making it significantly harder for her to get a new role. This was a company that worked in the not-for-profit sector, which enrages me even more with the bs businesses get away with.

      Bad people management = business failure nearly every time. Sadly, not always. My first job, in a hotel for bar work, I roomed at the hotel. The owner's wife cordially hated me. They had a very spoilt young kid with Down syndrome. It was a nightmare. I had to eat in the kitchen (not an issue) but she micromanaged every second of my time while on duty. After work, I holed up in a very substandard hotel room. Put up with it, because even as a newbie, I was making big money for that time, for a 16 year old. Did my three months, immediately got work elsewhere, and had saved $1000 in about 4 months, still bought myself some clothes, paid parents board and lodging of one third of my weekly income. It was the best paid unskilled work ever. An even better rate for casuals, which eventually I changed to, so I wouldn't have to work boring slow shifts. I was actually almost getting as good a rate per hour as my stepfather driving earthmoving machinery, and I was in air-conditioning, unlike him. Side issue; he tried to scam me out of my savings - didn't succeed. Which is where I got the concept of always have your own secret bank account; tell no one.

Your supervisor had to come relieve you and put someone else there or close the game for the night. The day I was let go was right after I gave a boy with special needs a prize after his parents spent over $30. We were all happy and then I got taken into a trailer in the back and told that I can’t let people try to shoot at basketball games and I couldn’t give out any prizes even if the person spent a lot of money.

    During grad school, I worked at a clothing store. When I started, I told them I could work during the week certain times, and Saturdays, but never on Sunday (grad school is a seminary - I was studying for the ministry). Sundays were very busy, from services to delivering communion to shut-ins, etc. For some reason, after working 5 shifts a week for about a year, the manager started scheduling me on Sundays and Sundays only. I told them to look at my availability - I can't work Sundays. The manager said I would work when he scheduled me or I could walk. At first, I tried talking to company HR (not local). Gave them my original availability, my lack of discipline (I hadn't done anything wrong), and an admittedly scholastic reason why as a Christian minister, I can't work retail on Sundays as there is SO much else to do! The next time they scheduled me - on Sunday - I didn't come in. "No call/no show" so I was fired. But! That experience taught me that I could make my own business/ministry, and have been happily doing that for over a decade. That clothing store is in bankruptcy. My business is booming.

    I got fired from a popular fast food place, when I was 16, because of a medical condition that makes me pass out if I stand in one place too long. I didn't feel like fighting it because the manager was a major butt, but I told him when I was applying that I have this condition and I spelled it out for him. He said it was perfectly fine and we can work around it. I offered to do dishes, or clean counters, while doing other things, but he purposefully kept putting me in places where I had to stand in one place (first window register, topping station, etc.) All of the employees were only allowed to do one job for that day, no multi-tasking. If anyone moved from that station, we got a harsh talking to. I was literally offering to do more work, when they tried to say it was because they were short staffed. Like all I needed was to keep moving around. At one time, another employee felt bad when I was standing at the window and she brought me a tall bar stool type of chair. Manager said I was lazy for sitting down, and not to come in the next day. He was fired later for how he ran the place, so justice was served in the end.

    I had a colleague that all of the sudden said she was pregnant, months on the way already. As she was a bigger girl we all didn’t notice any different. To get maternity leave she had to provide HR some forms, like a doctors note,etc. Which she kept delaying until HR told her they really needed it within the week. All of the sudden she had a miscarriage and told our manager she needed days of to grieve and also a funeral for the baby. Told the funeral would be on Friday 12:00 in this particular city. My manager and my team did not believe it. So she and one of my colleagues bought flowers from our team for the funeral (something we also would have done if all was true). They went to the only funeral home we have in that city. Nope, they did not know about any funeral that day or any other day of a still born baby.
    The colleague left soon after that as nobody wanted to work with her anymore.

      I remember a co-worker got told he wasn’t happy enough as their excuse for firing him. We worked in insurance. Monotone was just how he talked. If you didn’t pay attention then it might be easy to miss his small smile and slight uptone in voice when he was joking around.
      After he was fired his friend/co-worker was called in and told off for talking bad about the company with him, which they only every did over the messaging system. So the company was reading our messages.
      Later they tried to claim he was telling client information to a guy who had been fired months before. It was a very bullshit excuse that they came up with months later. So I suspect they found out they couldn’t fire someone for being unhappy with how their work is being managed so they tried to claim he was doing something illegal

    I was fired from a dream job as a wine tasting room manager. It was run by a husband and wife. The husband did the wine making and the wife handled the business side. The husband also loved the young 21 year olds they hired to run the shop, including me…. He would invite me to his house to drink new wines he made. Sounded okay, it was part of the business. But it would always be after work and he’d pour way too much. He’d start flirting and touching until you forced your way to the door and made some excuse to leave. Well the wife found out and fired us all. The winery went under a couple years later. I had a fan base that brought in about $15k a month to that business. A lot for a small winery that only sold 7 different wines.

I loved about a 5 min walk from work, I'd usually leave 10 mins before work. After a few times of being cut off, I left earlier and still kept getting cut off. It was like it waited for me. I was only ever like 5-15 mins late depending on the train. My bosses knew why I was late and they said I had to leave even earlier... I was like umm no I'm not coming here earlier than what I'll be paid for.

It was a multi-line landline phone, analog. I accidentally dropped the call when transferring it. The call came back and I was able to transfer it afterwards. All of a sudden the doc comes out and in front of the rest of the staff and all the clients in the waiting room, screamed at me, at the top of his lungs, "What are fucking stupid as well as a dumb blonde?(my hair color back then)"
    He left the area and I counted to 10 in my head. Then I wrote down my full name and home address, walked into his office and quit. Telling him that if I had accrued any hours of pay to send it there. I also told him that I was worth more than how he spoke to me.

    Got fired from my last job as a graphic designer at a small local ad agency. I was there about 2.5 years. I'm surprised I lasted that long. I was still attending college several days a week in a town 30 miles away, and both my home and work environment were extremely stressful and toxic. In fact, I ended up having my first mental breakdown during this time. And, every morning, just the thought of going to work gave me a mild panic attack. So, one day, I finally decided I'd had enough. It was a Friday, and I was going to put in my two week notice effective as of Monday. Unfortunately, because I had been trying to calm myself down from my daily panic attack, I was 15-20 minutes late. And, this wasn't the first time. So, as soon as I got there, I got called into the office, and they fired me for being late. I just shrugged as if it was no big deal and was like, "Okay." The guy who fired me (who was the owner's son, btw. Nepotism was kind of a big thing there. And, that was probably my smallest complaint about the place.) he was actually surprised at how cool I was about the whole thing. He probably thought I'd break down and cry like everyone else did when they got fired. (We also had a very high turnover rate among employees who weren't related to the owner.) So, even though I was technically fired, since I was going to put in my notice that day anyway, I just tell people that the parting was mutual and amicable. And, it's not like anyone can contest or verify my version now. The agency unsurprisingly closed not even two years later.

While I was gone they changed the schedule and scheduled me a day sooner than the original schedule without informing me. When I didn't show up, they fired me for being a no show. Previously any changes to the schedule after being posted were made with phone calls or emails to the personnel that were moved.
    When I went in to get my last paycheck, they tried to apologize and say it was a misunderstanding, they were desperate to not lose me right 2 weeks before a holiday that was usually busy. I told them I already found a better job (I hadn't). Lol

    I got fired from my first job at a animal kennel/vet (like a huge what they called “pet resort”) it was awful, making people pay 10 dollars a day for extra play times for their animals while they were away and when I did those play times I got into so much trouble.
    Anyway, I found out that one of my coworkers who was good friends with my direct boss, was using the industrial washer and dryers we use to WASH HER OWN LAUNDRY!! I mean, we are talking poop, urine, blood, who knows what goes into those machines! 🤮
    She was super embarrassed and I just slowly backed out of the room. I wasn’t even going to tell on her or anything either. Who tf was going to believe a 16 year old?
    Anyway, she had been looking for ways to get me fired for forever and I needed to pick up a dog’s food for surgery the next day so I put it in the basket on the dog’s kennel with a cover on it. Go in to work the next day to find out it had “magically” found its way in its cage.
    Either one of the other kennel techs messed up and saw she didn’t have food and didn’t bother reading her paperwork to see why or that other lady put the food back in the kennel and waited for me to take the fall.
    She was even at the table with me when I was getting fired and I said “you put the food back in the kennel because I saw you using the washer and dryer for your personal clothes didn’t you?”
    So on my way out I made sure they knew what she had been doing too. GOD, if social media had been around when I was fired from this place I would have been spilling the MF TEA!

There wasn’t a lot of foot traffic so I got bored and decided to do inventory. I counted all the little planes, trains, cars, and other shitty “lasts a day” trinket toys and kept the running tally at the register. Came in the next day and it was apparent these crap toys were easy to lift. I then get a brilliant idea of a little self help guild on “How to relieve boredom.” I start creating this artsie masterpiece in between customers. 1. Psychoanalyze parents. 2. Make staple bracelets …and so on. Well, the other store employees found my little project and started making staple bracelets. It gets back to management. Management finds my project. Yells at me for people wasting staples. Fires me. I threw them a quarter to pay for the staples and left. They kept my project which still, after 33 years, pisses me off.

      I stared at her, very upset and said; I am so sorry to hear that, so she can't smell anymore? Wow..does she have a prosthetic nose now? Can she still taste things?
      And she replied; 'No, no, that's all gone, it is really bad..yeah..yeah cancer in the nose is actually really common..'
      And I said; 'Really?' and she said; 'No ofcourse not you f*cking dipshit, I was f*cking lying, my mom doesn't have cancer, booh you c*nt' and then she cackled and proceeded to throw her bottle of water-and-lemonademixture all over my head and face, till I was drenched, she then pushed me on the ground and left.

I didn't sleep at all that night and cried all night and STILL went to work less than 24 hours after her death. I would be super sad, cry a lot and looked like absolute HELL and my managers and supervisors kept asking me if I was okay and that I should go home to grieve and I refused and said that I can do this, it was SO hard, even weeks after and I still wouldn't miss a single day. This was in 2016 and her death still wrecks me but like, I'd rather be the best employee I can even in my weakest moments. I CANNOT stand people who lie or take off for really stupid reasons.

My boyfriend's mean sister is one of those people. It's another reason why I've always hated my face. Everyone thinks I'm ugly and even the ones that don't think I have an evil face. I just hope my own children are never scared of my face cause then my mind will really start going to dark places.

      Sometimes I wonder how I would react to something like that. I'm a pretty smiley person but when I get focused or stressed I think I scowl

    Though I didn’t get fired, I left because I saw it coming. I once worked as a teller for a bank. During the interview and hiring process, I was very clear that I was like 4 months pregnant and had to take first time mother classes in order for the insurances to cover my hospital and clinic fees for the pregnancy. I was also very clear as to when those classes were and the days that I would have to leave early or come in late. They HIRED me!!!!! 4 weeks into my job, they pulled me into the office and told me they couldn’t work with my schedule. That is the only mark I had against me the whole time I worked there. My cash drawer and the till were ALWAYS PERFECT!!! So, before they could utter the words “we’ll have to let you go”, I told them: “I can’t work for a company that is not willing to work with me, consider this my resignation.”

      Lmao honestly I would get it in writing if I ever agreed to specific terms ever again.
      I picked up a second job once. Keep in mind that my other job was full time. 5 days a week. I told them I’d work zANY day aside from Saturday. I gave them my Sundays. I was asking for one. Goddamn. Day. One. Add that I was walking 4 miles every day I worked both jobs bc I can’t drive.
      The hiring manager agreed that was fine and reasonable. She had me scheduled a few sat to retrain me which I said was fine.
      But when I went to the scheduling manager and told her that I was not supposed to be scheduled sat anymore she got snotty with me and said “ we’ll that’s what we hired you for “ in reality they asked me to be a manager 3 times and I told them no.
      She pissed me off I got it fixed with the boss.
      But sweet sweet revenge was the day I quit. She’d driven me to my edge. Sent my hand home without asking and we got slammed. Bitched at me for how I was handling it. I took her hand to the side said listen I’m not screwing you over look back there tell me what you need I got you then I’m out. She said nothing bc she was just as annoyed told me anything she needed. Clocked out and was walking out just as the manager was walking to the office.. to count the drawer. Meaning there’s be nobody up front. Bc they didn’t know how to run with two people.
      Oops.

      You could have sued if they did fire you sadly. But yeah i tried to work my whole pregnancy but same the place would only schedule me on dr apts and i was higher risk so i had more apts and eventually i kind of just told them ill take a leave and they were okay with u employment and also me coming back the next year lol but some places that just outright r so stupid like that completely make me mad and honestly wish i could be a stay at home because atleast my family loves me but some places at work treat u awful for bringing new life in but the fact they knowingly hired u preg, girl u deff maybe still could even do some thing lol..

    I work at a paint and sip, and once had a coworker that should have fired SO many times!
    On a good handful of occasions, he would leave his shift to go grab a beer, and come back to help finish cleaning, all while on the clock. He also was ALWAYS on his phone instead of really interacting with the customers. There were times while going through instructing a painting, would get frustrated at customers for asking questions or wanting help...
    He literally told me that wasn't his job. Dude you are a painting teacher, that's EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO.

    I hated my last job so much that I had a not so necessary surgery (vasectomy) done to get some time off. I've always wanted the procedure done so I had it done so I could get the hell away from the place for a bit.

    I have RBF (face) and RBV (voice). I've had soooo many complaints from so-called adults who want to be talked to in a baby voice like they are toddlers. I can be fully happy, having a great day and be actively helpful to people and they will still be like, "she had a horrible attitude" and I'm like, "WHERE?!!"

    I am so glad I’m not the only one who has to create a “friendly and approachable” facial expression in social situations! I do the eyebrow and forehead lift thing to bring my face to look “normal” which honestly, why is that even a thing!? 😂Happy turkey day Charlotte!

      Nope you aren't! I have been told for decades I look like I'm a bitch or mad all of the time but it's not true at all. I'm a generally happy person, very patient and takes a TON for me to get mad but apparently I never look it. I also have to be aware of my face all of the time.

      Dude I became aware of my RBF in kindergarten. The teacher pulled me aside and was asking if everything was okay at home.😅I look like I'm frowning cause my lil overbite, but it took me prob 30 years to finally not give a f what I look like to other people.
