A new guy was hired at a huge metal smelting factory. His job was to clean the inside of the huge walk in furnace, as some kind of sick joke the other guys turned on the 1 min warning and closed the door on him. The poor guy thought he had 1 min left to live and had a mental break down. That was 24 yrs ago and the company still pay the guy. Hes never had to work since. The 3 guys were fired and even taken to court.
When I worked at McDonald's in 99 I had a manager lock me in the walk-in freezer. He didn't think it was that funny when I started to kick down the door. Then he said it was if I had damaged the door ... I didn't even let him finish. I said it would be his fault.
@@Kyle1227 No. My instinct is just to yell really loud. At this point it's been 20 years so gives a frik now. If the idiots still work there I would say that was punishment enough.
Yep. When going for an interview, be polite to everyone, and don't assume you know who anyone is if you've never met them. And for that matter, same goes after you get hired. That would have saved a good number of jobs in this thread.
jimwormmaster another story I heard was that a guy went to a coffee shop next to where his interview was and a lady spilled her coffee and he helped her. Later when he went for his interview the lady who he helped was the one interviewing him and was telling the story to the other co-workers says that’s the guy who helped me. He got hired
That middle school bully girl story is always one I love to hear. Another lesson of watch how you treat people cause you never know how its gonna come back. I mean so many people I know got jobs from people they knew in high school or college. So every potential connection should be respected.
Ordered a pizza at around 5pm. 11pm comes, and still no pizza. Called the pizza place and were told that "we don't deliver to apartment complexes at night". Called the pizza place the next morning to verify the fact. Night manager and two drivers fired because they didn't want to put the pizzas in or delivering them because they were too busy having a threesome in the back room.

Working as a chef, we had to fire a line cook when a hypodermic needle and a burnt spoon fell out of his pocket onto the kitchen floor...oh, that's where all those spoons went....
Those two people who broke shit in their work after they got fired (latter half of the vid), did they honestly think they wouldn't get sued for damages?
Maybe they saw a movie in which someone trashed a place and wasn't shown facing consequences afterward, so they thought that's how it worked in real life, or maybe they thought the stories that go, "Someone told me what to do, so I wrecked the place and cussed him out and everyone clapped and some notable person shook my hand and gave me a check for $5,000..." were real and depicted how real life works.
Had a coworker who left me and the boss high and dry on inventory day, claiming to be out sick. My boss and I took a break halfway through inventory and saw my coworker being interviewed on live tv, she was in her bikini at the beach. My boss was really pissed, called her up and fired her.
She was out sick.... of work, that is. but seriously I hate people like that. I will be honest though and say that I was that person when i first started working (spoiled by my grandmother and no work ethic, didn't like things that were hard. I hate thinking about how i used to act) It always pisses me off when that happens these days. I work at a rent to own furniture store (think a place like rent a center or aaron's but we're a local place.), there's 4 of us, and ffs. I have issues with 2 of them (one is constantly an hour+ late to work, and that's if she comes in. The other is just an asshole). The asshole is the guy who helps me when a delivery is 2 person, and there was a saturday with 5 two person stops scheduled for delivery.... he called in because, and I quote "A friend of mine committed suicide last night. We haven't talked since middleschool but it just really got to me." (suicide isn't a joke, but this dude is in his 30s, so how tf did he think this was a reasonable reason to not show up for work is beyond me.)
I have short experience in fast food. I'm a pretty unattractive guy which is why i feel comfortably confirming this - cause it was like this with my coworkers too, I noticed. The people that were attractive (ya know, thin, good complexion) worked the front, and they had the more unattractive team members doing stuff in the back of the store. (for example, I was kept in the back as a dish washer // food prepper. And I noticed from my time there that anybody who wasn't an attractive person was kept working jobs in the back of the store or as clean up.) anyways, i say all that cause I have a feeling that dish washer was probably a pretty unattractive dude since he worked back of shop. XD
My brother has turned getting fired into a sport. Here are some highlights: - Fired from GNC after stealing protein jugs right off the shelves and taking them home. They were on to him when the manager found a protein bar wrapper floating in the toilet. - Fired from the local Shopko after forgetting his belt at home. His pants kept falling down, so he simply grabbed one off the rack, took the tag off, and put it on. - Fired from the local grocery store after a mild correction by his manager. He dropped a yogurt, and the manager said, "Watch what you're doing." Brother: "You can't f$%@ing talk to me that way!" Fired on the spot. - Fired from a lumber mill after wanting to fight the guy who saved his life. He was operating some kind of saw while spacing off, coworker saw he was just about to lose a hand and yanked him out of the way just in time. Brother thought this "made him look bad," so invited the guy out into the parking lot. Gone. - Fired for lipping off to the then-governor of our state, who happened to be touring the factory my brother worked at. He walked up to my brother's lunch table, and my brother mock-snatched his food away, saying, "Don't even think about it!" (Governor was extremely overweight). They didn't let my brother finish his lunch. - Fired from the local gym after telling his female manager that the reason she was so crabby was because she hadn't been laid in five years. - Fired from the local J.C. Penny's for swearing at customers on Black Friday. He volunteered to wear a reindeer costume, not knowing it was about three sizes too small. When the doors opened at 6 a.m., he had about a foot of bare leg sticking out from the bottoms of the reindeer feet. About 50 people pointed and laughed. My brother started swearing and offering to fight them. By 6:02, he was jobless. I'm sure there are more that I can't think of right now . . .
I was a shift supervisor at Taco Bell. We had one kid come in like 4 hours late. He arrived in a full upper body cast. I told him there was no way he could work like that. He refused to leave and I was like whatever man Im 2 hours late to clock out anyway so I dont care. Got into my car and we had this app that would let us look at the store cameras. Super creepy i know. But i just happened to look at the cameras today. This dude legit just flexed and broke his cast and started working and talked shit that I didnt send him home..... I tried to but he refused!
A coworker was caught on security cam robbing the gas station down the street from the office, wearing a hoodie with the company logo and his face in view. Made the evening news.
I worked weekends with a girl who called in at least twice a month and always used her kid as an excuse. The last straw was when she came in wearing the t shirt of the concert she went to the day before after calling in for that day. She was walked out complaining “I can’t believe you’re firing me for my kid being sick.”
I had a boss ask me about going to a concert on the weekend (didn’t work weekends) because I had previously taken a day off since I began a medication for a tic bite (had to stay out of the sun) So obviously going to Warped Tour to bake in the sun all weekend didn’t seem to make sense to them....only if they knew I had already spent the money and was a 20 minute drive away from the concert they would have understood. Didn’t get fired though....just got let go sometime after. Didn’t bother me, I was getting paid like a bum to climb ladders and clean gutters all by my lonesome.
I work for the most unstable, angry and evil person i have ever encountered in my 30+ years of life. Her face is constantly red with rage, horrible demeanour, constantly enraged, marks down my work, takes me to desks to scream at me, tell me i’m useless, shouts across the room at me, forces me to sit in the worst place possible, took away my bonus and payrise, bullies me at every turn. A truly broken woman, never met anyone so angry and disturbed in my life. I’m certain if a psychologist got hold of her for an hour they’d recommend having her committed.. five staff left the team because of her, two signed off for months with stress. One was forced into a mental breakdown at work. A truley terrible and appalling human being. She should have been sacked 100 times over but her superiors are weak and feeble, they know the problems but deny it. If we had someone vulnerable on oir team she could drive them to suicide. Managers deserve to be fired too...
Skraeling1000 We have a compliance line, others have thought about doing it but are scared of reprisals. Her and the manager are friends so he protects her. We had five transfer off the team since she worked here. One even said they don’t dare talk to her sometimes because of the anger on her face. I requested a transfer and they denied it.....three times. I can’t possibly communicate to you how terrible this human being is. I have to see her tomorrow, because ive had a week off she will have taken the time to plan how shes going to gut me.
Manager: You're an idiot Me: I haven't done an ounce of work in over 6 months, and you keep giving me a paycheck. Who's the idiot? Well, I had another job lined up anyways.
Once, when I was a manager I couldnt terminate this employee but I wrote her up due to tempering with food. She was 16, extremely food inclined and overweight, also was "slow". Many employees had issues about BO and working with her. One day I tried to teach her how to make a Blast and I turned my back on her and let her do it herself while I made something else. I turn back around after she made it to check up on her and some of the icecream spilled on the side and was too tall on top so she took her bare finger and swiped it all across the side and top and stuck it in her mouth and if I didnt stop her she wouldnt have stopped. She didnt understand why that is bad, especially to do that in the open window infront of customers
a forklift operator at a stone yard I used to work at had a bad habit of getting stoned at work, trying to lift a skid of manufactured interlock patio slabs, then dropping the skid and breaking most of the stone, making it unsellable. he also let someone who wasn't certified drive his forks. Within 10 minutes he ran over a labourers foot. This happened less than five meters away from me.
Dude just sounds stupid. Slabs of stone aren’t rocks...things will break like glass if they hit the ground hard enough, at the very least a gnarly fracture
I worked in retail and a co-worker was annoyed at a kid in the store and threw a ball at him. Yeah, instantly fired. He was a middle aged man. I was a 21 year old girl. And I was appalled.
I work at a pizza restaurant and recently we had a kid around 19 and 5'11 get mad and punch the owner of our business (about 6'3 280 lb) and instead of punching him back my boss just picked the dude up and body slammed him into the mop bucket! lmao (edit: the guy got up and said "well that was uncalled for" after he literally attacked boss.)
That is a combination of freaking awesome and absolutely disgusting but then again it depends if you were in the middle of a shift or not, because I know how horribly disgusting those things can get believe me I’ve worked at a dog daycare even though that’s entirely unrelated but just making a parallel
@@Choujifangirl hahaha understandable. I never considered what it would have been like if it was full, nah it was empty and very clean, but out of all things to be slammed on I swear that's gotta be one of the most painful and awkward things! I'll never forget it XD

I did mental health case management for awhile (taking mental health patients to their doctors and linking them to community resources) and a lot of that job requires us to transport clients in our personal vehicles. We had one guy that was mixing whiskey in with his morning coffee and then going off to drive clients to their appointments. Needless to say he was let go
One of my coworkers at an ice cream shop where I used to work got fired cause a huge group of her friends ( like 15 ppl ) came in and she gave all of them free ice Cream and rang all of them then voided the orders so the manager noticed while looking through the digital register, I say it was stupid cause no one told on her, she got caught cause she rung them up lol
I worked at a goods shipping company for one summer, and this happened near the end of it. One of my co-workers had used heroin during his break (the area in general is full of junkies), overdosed, came back an hour later, went home, didn’t come back for three days, tried to get in on Sunday (when nobody works,) and was then fired. So yeah.
I used to work at a recycling plant as a line sorter; our main machine that was designed to bring items up to the first sorting station was clogged again. Instead of getting the right permissions and safety precautions in order; one worker just decided to climb right in without even having the machine safely disabled. The machine could have turned that man into spaghetti in an instant. The foreman literally screamed at him, pulled him out with one hand like Superman. Gave him a LONG lecture about safety and then told him to leave immediately. Sure enough, his locker was left open and empty by the end of the shift.
I was at a Burger King once, it was late, and I was the only customer in the place. There were two teenagers behind the counter talking to each other. It took them over a minute to realize I was there and that maybe they should ask me what I want. After my order was in the window they continued their bullshit session without picking up the order. I said to one of the guys "My order is ready". He looks at me but continues to talk to his buddy and slowly reaches behind him, grabs the box, and tosses it on the counter where it slid over to me. I had never seen anything like this in my life. These two douche bags were still leaning against the wall, with their hands in their pockets, talking about a party they had been to. I motioned to the manager and when he came over I explained what happened, that I didn't need this shit, I wanted my money back and I'll never eat there again. I'm walking to my car and I see through the window that the two guys were following the manager into the back of the store. I hope they were fired. You're getting paid to serve customers, not ignore them or treat them rudely. Do your job and do it correctly. You can't stand your job? so quit. Find something you'd rather do, but do it as well as you can because you're getting paid to do it. Without customers you wouldn't have a job, so treat them well.
I worked for a staffing company and one of the other offices had a few people come in to do their paperwork so they could be sent out on admin and warehouse jobs. They had three that were working on filling them out in the back (they had library carrels for privacy). After they left there was a smell coming from that area. When they investigated they found a pile of human waste in the corner. The office had bathrooms to use if the person asked. The three people were called and told unless the person who did this admits to it none of them will be sent on jobs. The two innocent people told them who did it and that guy confessed. The office manager had to clean it up.
Worst I've seen was a full out fist fight between two seafood department employees when I used to work at a grocery store. Not sure what caused it but he two geniuses figured if they walked out of the store and off of company property and then faught, it would all be perfectly fine. So they walked down the aisles arguing, out the front door, around the back of the building and then crossed the street and started fist fighting on the sidewalk. Both fired on the spot.
@@ryanweeks6118 it was broken up very quickly but the shorter guy tackled the lanky guy and they they both kinda rolled around for a little. Security footage showed the lanky guy kinda half ass throwing hammer fists at the shorter guy after he got tackled
There are phony-baloney "experts" who claim, "You should never discipline your children or allow them to experience negative consequences because that will hurt their self-esteem! Just let them do whatever they want and they'll become emotionally healthy and valuable members of society!" What happens in real life is you end up with people like in these stories.
My parents let me do whatever I wanted growing up (I was a good kid anyway) and I grew up to have low self-esteem and am far from emotionally healthy...hmmmmm
Funny thing is that there are kids who do these things because negative consequences means attention from mom and dad and are so starved for that and will take it, so I wouldn't be too surprised if the people who believe this are barely parenting in the first place and want an excuse.
Josh Porter I honestly have no idea. I don't know who they are or how they got people to think they knew what they were talking about. A lot of fakers are getting articles published somehow. It's like how a bunch of people on Facebook nowadays are offering stupid & harmful advice on the virus and supporting it by claiming, "An expert said to do this!" They never explain what makes this person they're blindly following an expert or what makes their claims better than proven science.
Had a job on campus. Guy got fired for taking a jeopardy game very seriously. He lost multiple times and raged so hard and started punching walls. He was then taken away by security. That didn't get him fired (because college and peoples feelings are important I guess) .... but I guess he thought he was getting fired and he threatened to kill the managers.... THAT got him fired lmfao
My dad was a manager at lowes for a while, and he fired one guy on his first day. If I recall properly, my dad said the guy came to a training thing in his pajamas.
My third job, handling packages at a shipping depot. We had two workers that I nicknamed "Tweedle Dee" and "Tweedle Dipshit" who were generally massive douchebags. They only did the bare minimum of work and mostly just goofed off but management couldn't fire them because they were seasonal hires and we needed every warm body that we could. Well the time came that the company realized someone was stealing phones from packages and lo and behold it was traced back to Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dipshit who had the audacity to throw their stolen bounties over the security fence for later recovery right in front of the security officer. When confronted they fled into the woods but the next morning Tweedle Dee came back in and attempted to collect their paycheck. Not only fired but escorted from the building in handcuffs.
"I should have said my name" NO, that is the job and point of a receptionist/front desk staff. They are the first representative that people encounter, so they are supposed to set the standard for the entire visit, and gather the information. That is why the position of a receptionist was created to begin with, to take that burden off the rest of the staff who are engaged in other duties and can't always step aside to do that. It isn't like reception is a new position in the world. I'd say it is probably one of the oldest. He said "bullpen" I wonder if he works in the funeral service industry. I work in a mortuary and we use that term to describe the area where the directors work, usually right behind where the receptionist is.
"Bullpen" is pretty standard usage for an area where multiple Supervisor/management types congregate. I've heard the term in a lot of different businesses/industries.
new programmer went on date with fiancee of co-owner, then eventually managed to steal her heart. When she terminated the engagement (which is when the co-owner found out), both owners together fired the programmer on the basis that someone who'd literally steal his boss's girl had zero common sense and couldn't be trusted as programmer on their new game.
An employee once decided that the best time to watch a site along the interstate highway, was to throw snowballs at the cars that passed by... at 1 am.
Before my time, but a manager at my work told me they had to let go of an employee that used to keep hydrated......a lot. Turns out their ever full “water bottle” was mostly vodka! Yeah, not the best beverage when dealing with the public on a busy shop floor.....
@@andrewisnotdead but i wanna know the supposed logic behind the it. like, how do you get to the point where pepperspraying the birds becomes the next logical step??
Not me, but I still thinks this counts. This person worked as this office job for 5 years. He was the middle man for the customers and the technicians, so he had to talk the people on both sides. After 2 weeks or so he started, an obnoxious guy started working as a middle man to. Aside from the dude being an overall juvenile f*ck-off, he would get buddy-buddy with the technicians over the phone, spending hours bullsh*ting about non-work related stuff while several callers on the phone. One day, the guy’s on the phone when he hears super loud belches. They were so loud that the customer heard and accused him of doing it. Turns out f*ck-off was having a belching competition with a technician over the phone. F*ck-off got fired on the spot.
I work at a restaurant and a employee would make a smoking gesture to her customers and tell them that if they couldn’t find her to ask the other waitresses for help because she was going to go smoke in the back let’s just say she was fired when all her tables demanded a new waitress to our manager also she had a carry out who sat in our lobby for 3+ hours and kept giving her the wrong order 😬

My family owns a small trucking firm. At any time I reserve the right to look in our trucks(the drivers call it their truck but it’s titled and plated to our name). This driver had been acting odd. So I thought I’d look in the sleeper while he was home. I used drug needle(and no he wasn’t diabetic). Next day he came in to work. He said where’s my truck. I said “it’s getting serviced. Your stuff in this box. I found your drug stash. Now take your stuff and I will mail you your last check. Bye.” Closed the door. He left

One guy that worked at the same restaurant got fired because he absolutely refused to wait on a table because the people sitting there were Mexicans. The manager was so pissed off. I honestly don't see how he wasn't fired before then though, he was so lazy and would never do his side work. I guess that was just the last straw.
I don't know if i am sheltered or what but at the end of the day i could genuinely not care less what color or ethnicity a person is, if they are here they're an American.

I wasn't his direct manager (but outranked him) and it took a couple of days to terminate when some dipshit analyst thought it would be a good idea to say something rude about my spouse in my hearing. Gone.
Hopefully you exercised your prerogative and fired him immediately. That could fucking kill someone. I'm a produce clerk myself and proper food safety technique is always one of the top two things we should focus on besides exceptional customer service. But you know all that I'm just venting
"When I look back, I feel kind of bad for her..." I sure don't. Rude, mocking, and self-absorbed people like that should face the consequences. The only way the ending could have been more satisfying is if the guy in there for a courier job (the one who was snickering at the guy being treated terribly) had been thrown out too.
Working at a car dealership- new guy kept suspiciously asking about the results of his drug test. Ended up falling asleep in his car in the service drive for two hours.
That's, erm.... what. Wow. As someone who has never taken drugs outside things like ibuprofen(obviously), I have never worried about a drug test - and i feel that'd be true for anyone. I still remember the look on the doctor's(nurse's?) face when i was taking my drug test awhile back and she asked if i was taking any drugs and I just said "Well.... I had some tylenol the other day for a headache."
Two employees got into a fight, took it outside and knives were drawn. Manager decides to break it up, goes outside and pulls his gun. Buh bye manager. In another story (same company), one employee was having some trouble being compensated for a work-related injury. The owner was in the wrong, he should have taken care of the man. He was a good worker overall, and he successfully handled one of the most difficult assignments in our company. However, the employee was understandably frustrated by the endless runaround and denial of compensation. It came to a head one morning when the owner called the employee to discuss the situation (yet again). The employee had reached his breaking point and went off on a profanity-laced rant at the owner. 5 minutes later, everyone on the shop floor watched as the employee walked toward the door for the last time.
Didn’t get fired but new guy at post office (who’d take 1.5 hour lunch hours and hide in the washroom for 15 minutes at a time) created money orders for a guy who owed the IRS $10,000 (this was a Canadian post office btw). Looked at the guys ID and whipped up eleven different US money orders (the limit on each is 999.99 US. Guy paid in cash and walked away with money orders in hand. Came back absolutely LIVID. My coworker had glanced at the ID and had written all the FROM lines with the guy’s first name and his middle name, not his surname. He stormed off absolutely pissed. Asked him to come back later as we had to call in the boss who would be able to fix it that day (the next day would’ve been too late due to the exchange rate changing every day). Guy never came back. Coworker didn’t get fired for it.
There's an old story about a guy whose job was to monitor the cheque printer and if it stuffed up, to punch the "repeat" button to replace the stuffed-up cheque. So he decides to punch "repeat" over and over while his own pay cheque is being printed. Then this "genius" decides to take a fistfull of cheques to the bank and cash them all at the same time. Bank called the company. Company called the cops. Bye-bye moron.
The one with the brother really made me sad. Mainly because I really don’t know if that’s something I could see my brother doing in the future or me. I hope neither.
One guy we had from a tempt agency working in our warehouse would go on and on about how he should be paid more because he has a forklift license. Not even a week in he was sitting on the leather couch at our showroom entrance, with his boots up on the glass table. Boss' wife comes in, sees him and asks "have you worked here long?" Him: "no, only about a week, who are you?" Her: "I'm the CEO's wife" he was gone shortly after.
We had a guy who was a drinker. Several times he was caught drunk at work, but one night we had an office outing we all got sloshed were salesmen that happens. Our boss sends us home in cabs and let's him sleep in off in the office. After we leave he still really drunk goes and pukes on her desk and steals a company car. This was an insurance agency the cars have her name and face on them. He gets a DWI and the car gets impounded. Fired immediately.

Manager of a Pizza Place. . . employees got a generous discount, even on days not scheduled, so it wasn't uncommon that they'd order on days off. One of the male, teen-aged "counter kids" calls on his day off & call is given to me, as a Mgr. needed to take employee orders. I pick up & say, "Hey, (counter kid), what's up? What can I get you?" While, obviously flanked by a number of his friends (heard in the background, being rowdy), answers with, "(Mgr.!) How the f*ck are ya!?". . . Hung up on him instantly & went back to what I was doing before coming up front. Less than a minute later, I'm requested back to the phones because (counter kid) has called back. I pick up j just say, "Hello?" "Hello (Mr. Mgr.), this is (counter kid). I'd like to place an order for pick-up." "Sure. Go ahead.", I respond. "As long as YOU are the one coming to pick it up." When he arrive for his order, I let him know that he needn't bother to return, as by then I had already gotten his shifts covered. He asked, "How long will that be for?" "From now on. This was your last discounted order & you're fired." I will not take the chance of a teen-aged employeebb, having too little impulse control, in a position that is possibly the only contact a customer will ever have with my operation. On the clock or not, THAT was unacceptable. Best part. . . his Dad, upon inquiring how his son ended up being fired on his day off, turned around and grounded him as well.
I bet that taught the kid a good lesson. You don't talk to your coworkers / management like they're your buddies, whether on the clock or not. Granted I can't even imagine talking like that to my friends either... and I don't think I'm out of touch with young people (I mean I'm 21 so I would hope I'm still in sync with young people.) And if i remember..... I haven't worked much for fast food / etcetera, but in my small experience in that line of work, discounts are meant EXCLUSIVELY for the employees right? not for friends/family/etcetera?
Not a manager but some 16 year old kid from water park I worked at would steal beer and then throw the empty cans down the water slide he was supposed to be monitoring. Fired instantly. No one liked him because he would only complain about the same jobs we all had to do.
Whilst working at Waitrose as a delivery driver, a colleague was suspended, though KEPT his job when he was caught smoking spice. Why? Because at the time it was 100% legal and Waitrose found themselves in a grey area with that one. 😁😛
They can but they also have to slow down slightly to give drivers a chance to hear the sirens and see the lights. The story seems to imply that the ambulance driver sped straight through.
Plant lady at lowes here and I had to train a guy on watering plants (just telling him the sun plants basically needed water constantly) and my guy was PLASTERED. I tell him to get his sht together and to grab some water and chips from the gas station and sober up real fast. Find him around the back an hour later with 2 empty beer cans on the ground and a half empty one in his hand, sitting down bc he can’t stand.
I wasn't the manager at the time but I was working and this guy that liked to talk to himself about how great he was at his job showed up 15 minutes late, as usual. The DM was there because we needed someone to open and our managers were already at OT. Anyways the guy was asked by the DM to prep fry portions and he decided that he didn't have to because we had enough. After the DM said we can always do more because fries don't go bad fast and we use them quickly he simply grabbed his jacket and left. After that the DM literally walked up to me and asked, "Did I forget about telling him to go or did he walk out?" This guy was such an embarrassing person that I'm surprised that he wasn't fired earlier. He just sucked at everything job related and his personality wasn't much to back him up. The guy only got the job because he knew the manager and told him that he was going to be homeless or something if he didn't get a job. That was a lie as his gf worked a fulltime job to pay for all the bills and everything for their kid, he got a job to work 15 hours a week because she wouldn't buy him weed. And to top it off he was a misogynist who always talked about how women should "know their place", which I find it difficult how he formed this opinion while living in a home payed fully for by his gf. Any conversation with him always got shifted towards what he wanted to talk about and I'm 90% sure he would call customers slurs under his breath, especially female or minority customers. Honestly I am hoping his gf breaks up with him, from what I could tell she was only with him because she wanted her daughter to have a father but with a father like that I'm sure you could find a better roll model almost anywhere.
So I was a manager back at Burger King in 2012 and I had an employee who posted a picture of his feet in our tub of lettuce which we use for the burgers, originally, we didn’t know he did that until it got huge online and became a widespread meme. Some people indeed might have eaten that foot lettuce. And yes, he did have foot fungus which was even worse. We fired him, but before we did, we made him eat that entire tub of lettuce only using his toes as his utensil.
That one around the 14:00 mark about the IT guy that just plain sloppy work on the part of the employer. You revoke their access THEN fire them. Don't tell them first that's a recipe to get fucked over and frankly rightfully so, not saying being a vigilante is right but most people are going to want to get a little revenge somehow if they are being fired and someone with IT power is the worst person to piss off in a corporation that uses servers.
Me and a couple other coworkers were fired from a movie theater I worked at for climbing on the scaffolding behind one of the screens. Thinking about it now I'm not sure whether or not it was deserved

A new guy was hired at a huge metal smelting factory. His job was to clean the inside of the huge walk in furnace, as some kind of sick joke the other guys turned on the 1 min warning and closed the door on him. The poor guy thought he had 1 min left to live and had a mental break down. That was 24 yrs ago and the company still pay the guy. Hes never had to work since. The 3 guys were fired and even taken to court.
BRUH.
When I worked at McDonald's in 99 I had a manager lock me in the walk-in freezer. He didn't think it was that funny when I started to kick down the door. Then he said it was if I had damaged the door ... I didn't even let him finish. I said it would be his fault.

Yep. When going for an interview, be polite to everyone, and don't assume you know who anyone is if you've never met them. And for that matter, same goes after you get hired. That would have saved a good number of jobs in this thread.
jimwormmaster another story I heard was that a guy went to a coffee shop next to where his interview was and a lady spilled her coffee and he helped her. Later when he went for his interview the lady who he helped was the one interviewing him and was telling the story to the other co-workers says that’s the guy who helped me. He got hired
@@jimwormmaster Or you know, do that because that's what you're SUPPOSED to do.
That middle school bully girl story is always one I love to hear. Another lesson of watch how you treat people cause you never know how its gonna come back. I mean so many people I know got jobs from people they knew in high school or college. So every potential connection should be respected.

Those two people who broke shit in their work after they got fired (latter half of the vid), did they honestly think they wouldn't get sued for damages?

Had a coworker who left me and the boss high and dry on inventory day, claiming to be out sick. My boss and I took a break halfway through inventory and saw my coworker being interviewed on live tv, she was in her bikini at the beach. My boss was really pissed, called her up and fired her.
She was out sick.... of work, that is.
but seriously I hate people like that. I will be honest though and say that I was that person when i first started working (spoiled by my grandmother and no work ethic, didn't like things that were hard. I hate thinking about how i used to act)
It always pisses me off when that happens these days. I work at a rent to own furniture store (think a place like rent a center or aaron's but we're a local place.), there's 4 of us, and ffs. I have issues with 2 of them (one is constantly an hour+ late to work, and that's if she comes in. The other is just an asshole). The asshole is the guy who helps me when a delivery is 2 person, and there was a saturday with 5 two person stops scheduled for delivery.... he called in because, and I quote "A friend of mine committed suicide last night. We haven't talked since middleschool but it just really got to me." (suicide isn't a joke, but this dude is in his 30s, so how tf did he think this was a reasonable reason to not show up for work is beyond me.)
Dish washer asked out every single female coworker. Lmao
I have short experience in fast food. I'm a pretty unattractive guy which is why i feel comfortably confirming this - cause it was like this with my coworkers too, I noticed.
The people that were attractive (ya know, thin, good complexion) worked the front, and they had the more unattractive team members doing stuff in the back of the store. (for example, I was kept in the back as a dish washer // food prepper. And I noticed from my time there that anybody who wasn't an attractive person was kept working jobs in the back of the store or as clean up.)
anyways, i say all that cause I have a feeling that dish washer was probably a pretty unattractive dude since he worked back of shop. XD

My brother has turned getting fired into a sport. Here are some highlights:
- Fired from GNC after stealing protein jugs right off the shelves and taking them home. They were on to him when the manager found a protein bar wrapper floating in the toilet.
- Fired from the local Shopko after forgetting his belt at home. His pants kept falling down, so he simply grabbed one off the rack, took the tag off, and put it on.
- Fired from the local grocery store after a mild correction by his manager. He dropped a yogurt, and the manager said, "Watch what you're doing." Brother: "You can't f$%@ing talk to me that way!" Fired on the spot.
- Fired from a lumber mill after wanting to fight the guy who saved his life. He was operating some kind of saw while spacing off, coworker saw he was just about to lose a hand and yanked him out of the way just in time. Brother thought this "made him look bad," so invited the guy out into the parking lot. Gone.
- Fired for lipping off to the then-governor of our state, who happened to be touring the factory my brother worked at. He walked up to my brother's lunch table, and my brother mock-snatched his food away, saying, "Don't even think about it!" (Governor was extremely overweight). They didn't let my brother finish his lunch.
- Fired from the local gym after telling his female manager that the reason she was so crabby was because she hadn't been laid in five years.
- Fired from the local J.C. Penny's for swearing at customers on Black Friday. He volunteered to wear a reindeer costume, not knowing it was about three sizes too small. When the doors opened at 6 a.m., he had about a foot of bare leg sticking out from the bottoms of the reindeer feet. About 50 people pointed and laughed. My brother started swearing and offering to fight them. By 6:02, he was jobless.

Got into my car and we had this app that would let us look at the store cameras. Super creepy i know. But i just happened to look at the cameras today. This dude legit just flexed and broke his cast and started working and talked shit that I didnt send him home..... I tried to but he refused!

A coworker was caught on security cam robbing the gas station down the street from the office, wearing a hoodie with the company logo and his face in view. Made the evening news.
I worked weekends with a girl who called in at least twice a month and always used her kid as an excuse. The last straw was when she came in wearing the t shirt of the concert she went to the day before after calling in for that day. She was walked out complaining “I can’t believe you’re firing me for my kid being sick.”
I had a boss ask me about going to a concert on the weekend (didn’t work weekends) because I had previously taken a day off since I began a medication for a tic bite (had to stay out of the sun)
So obviously going to Warped Tour to bake in the sun all weekend didn’t seem to make sense to them....only if they knew I had already spent the money and was a 20 minute drive away from the concert they would have understood.
Didn’t get fired though....just got let go sometime after. Didn’t bother me, I was getting paid like a bum to climb ladders and clean gutters all by my lonesome.

Receptionist story is a good example of always do your best to treat everyone fairly.
I work for the most unstable, angry and evil person i have ever encountered in my 30+ years of life. Her face is constantly red with rage, horrible demeanour, constantly enraged, marks down my work, takes me to desks to scream at me, tell me i’m useless, shouts across the room at me, forces me to sit in the worst place possible, took away my bonus and payrise, bullies me at every turn. A truly broken woman, never met anyone so angry and disturbed in my life. I’m certain if a psychologist got hold of her for an hour they’d recommend having her committed.. five staff left the team because of her, two signed off for months with stress. One was forced into a mental breakdown at work. A truley terrible and appalling human being. She should have been sacked 100 times over but her superiors are weak and feeble, they know the problems but deny it. If we had someone vulnerable on oir team she could drive them to suicide. Managers deserve to be fired too...
google laws about bullies in the workplace, act on what you find.
Skraeling1000 We have a compliance line, others have thought about doing it but are scared of reprisals. Her and the manager are friends so he protects her. We had five transfer off the team since she worked here. One even said they don’t dare talk to her sometimes because of the anger on her face. I requested a transfer and they denied it.....three times. I can’t possibly communicate to you how terrible this human being is. I have to see her tomorrow, because ive had a week off she will have taken the time to plan how shes going to gut me.

Well, I had another job lined up anyways.
Once, when I was a manager I couldnt terminate this employee but I wrote her up due to tempering with food. She was 16, extremely food inclined and overweight, also was "slow". Many employees had issues about BO and working with her. One day I tried to teach her how to make a Blast and I turned my back on her and let her do it herself while I made something else. I turn back around after she made it to check up on her and some of the icecream spilled on the side and was too tall on top so she took her bare finger and swiped it all across the side and top and stuck it in her mouth and if I didnt stop her she wouldnt have stopped. She didnt understand why that is bad, especially to do that in the open window infront of customers
Ok, grabbing a stray spoon and scraping the side clean and then throwing the spoon away, yes. But your finger? Noooo!

I worked at a goods shipping company for one summer, and this happened near the end of it. One of my co-workers had used heroin during his break (the area in general is full of junkies), overdosed, came back an hour later, went home, didn’t come back for three days, tried to get in on Sunday (when nobody works,) and was then fired.

I used to work at a recycling plant as a line sorter; our main machine that was designed to bring items up to the first sorting station was clogged again. Instead of getting the right permissions and safety precautions in order; one worker just decided to climb right in without even having the machine safely disabled. The machine could have turned that man into spaghetti in an instant. The foreman literally screamed at him, pulled him out with one hand like Superman. Gave him a LONG lecture about safety and then told him to leave immediately. Sure enough, his locker was left open and empty by the end of the shift.
I was at a Burger King once, it was late, and I was the only customer in the place. There were two teenagers behind the counter talking to each other. It took them over a minute to realize I was there and that maybe they should ask me what I want. After my order was in the window they continued their bullshit session without picking up the order. I said to one of the guys "My order is ready". He looks at me but continues to talk to his buddy and slowly reaches behind him, grabs the box, and tosses it on the counter where it slid over to me. I had never seen anything like this in my life. These two douche bags were still leaning against the wall, with their hands in their pockets, talking about a party they had been to. I motioned to the manager and when he came over I explained what happened, that I didn't need this shit, I wanted my money back and I'll never eat there again. I'm walking to my car and I see through the window that the two guys were following the manager into the back of the store. I hope they were fired.
You're getting paid to serve customers, not ignore them or treat them rudely. Do your job and do it correctly. You can't stand your job? so quit. Find something you'd rather do, but do it as well as you can because you're getting paid to do it. Without customers you wouldn't have a job, so treat them well.

They had three that were working on filling them out in the back (they had library carrels for privacy). After they left there was a smell coming from that area. When they investigated they found a pile of human waste in the corner. The office had bathrooms to use if the person asked. The three people were called and told unless the person who did this admits to it none of them will be sent on jobs. The two innocent people told them who did it and that guy confessed. The office manager had to clean it up.

There are phony-baloney "experts" who claim, "You should never discipline your children or allow them to experience negative consequences because that will hurt their self-esteem! Just let them do whatever they want and they'll become emotionally healthy and valuable members of society!" What happens in real life is you end up with people like in these stories.

Jay Lad You sound better than the people in these stories, though. I hope your self-esteem and emotional health improve.
Funny thing is that there are kids who do these things because negative consequences means attention from mom and dad and are so starved for that and will take it, so I wouldn't be too surprised if the people who believe this are barely parenting in the first place and want an excuse.

My third job, handling packages at a shipping depot. We had two workers that I nicknamed "Tweedle Dee" and "Tweedle Dipshit" who were generally massive douchebags. They only did the bare minimum of work and mostly just goofed off but management couldn't fire them because they were seasonal hires and we needed every warm body that we could.
Well the time came that the company realized someone was stealing phones from packages and lo and behold it was traced back to Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dipshit who had the audacity to throw their stolen bounties over the security fence for later recovery right in front of the security officer. When confronted they fled into the woods but the next morning Tweedle Dee came back in and attempted to collect their paycheck. Not only fired but escorted from the building in handcuffs.
"I should have said my name" NO, that is the job and point of a receptionist/front desk staff. They are the first representative that people encounter, so they are supposed to set the standard for the entire visit, and gather the information. That is why the position of a receptionist was created to begin with, to take that burden off the rest of the staff who are engaged in other duties and can't always step aside to do that. It isn't like reception is a new position in the world. I'd say it is probably one of the oldest.
He said "bullpen" I wonder if he works in the funeral service industry. I work in a mortuary and we use that term to describe the area where the directors work, usually right behind where the receptionist is.
"Bullpen" is pretty standard usage for an area where multiple Supervisor/management types congregate. I've heard the term in a lot of different businesses/industries.

There are traits and there are behaviors.Traits can't be changed they are wired into you. Behaviors however can be changed. Most traits are neutral they can be used for positive or negetive outcomes.Behavior can be changed into more productive outcomes
Sent home and invited to not return love that haha kinda same energy as promoted to customer
Yes, I grew up at a prep school, and the term there was "not invited back."
One guy that worked at the same restaurant got fired because he absolutely refused to wait on a table because the people sitting there were Mexicans. The manager was so pissed off. I honestly don't see how he wasn't fired before then though, he was so lazy and would never do his side work. I guess that was just the last straw.
I don't know if i am sheltered or what but at the end of the day i could genuinely not care less what color or ethnicity a person is, if they are here they're an American. (sure this only applies to the U.S., but still). If they're visiting then, well, cool. tourists. I just don't get how people still have such old views on this stuff like we're still living in the 1920s
We always hear the sob stories from employees but its good to see the managers side of the story
So hows this for Reddit style challenge:

I wasn't his direct manager (but outranked him) and it took a couple of days to terminate when some dipshit analyst thought it would be a good idea to say something rude about my spouse in my hearing. Gone.
Uno if u pepper sprayed a bird they wouldn’t even be affected, most non mammals lack the ability to taste spice
one of my employee at Mcdonald was picking up Mcnuggets on the floor to fill the boxes.
Hopefully you exercised your prerogative and fired him immediately. That could fucking kill someone. I'm a produce clerk myself and proper food safety technique is always one of the top two things we should focus on besides exceptional customer service. But you know all that I'm just venting
The second one was messed up.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache I see you everywhere now.
The next Justin. Y wait nvm
At least it had a happy ending
Which is what made her being fired on the spot SO SATISFYING.
"When I look back, I feel kind of bad for her..." I sure don't. Rude, mocking, and self-absorbed people like that should face the consequences. The only way the ending could have been more satisfying is if the guy in there for a courier job (the one who was snickering at the guy being treated terribly) had been thrown out too.
2:28 I wouldn't feel bad, that's what you get for not following the golden rule. And instant karma is the best kind.
I had a coworker threaten to slam our change dispensing machine into the bosses head
Working at a car dealership- new guy kept suspiciously asking about the results of his drug test. Ended up falling asleep in his car in the service drive for two hours.
That's, erm.... what. Wow.
As someone who has never taken drugs outside things like ibuprofen(obviously), I have never worried about a drug test - and i feel that'd be true for anyone. I still remember the look on the doctor's(nurse's?) face when i was taking my drug test awhile back and she asked if i was taking any drugs and I just said "Well.... I had some tylenol the other day for a headache."
Two employees got into a fight, took it outside and knives were drawn. Manager decides to break it up, goes outside and pulls his gun. Buh bye manager. In another story (same company), one employee was having some trouble being compensated for a work-related injury. The owner was in the wrong, he should have taken care of the man. He was a good worker overall, and he successfully handled one of the most difficult assignments in our company. However, the employee was understandably frustrated by the endless runaround and denial of compensation. It came to a head one morning when the owner called the employee to discuss the situation (yet again). The employee had reached his breaking point and went off on a profanity-laced rant at the owner. 5 minutes later, everyone on the shop floor watched as the employee walked toward the door for the last time.
Didn’t get fired but new guy at post office (who’d take 1.5 hour lunch hours and hide in the washroom for 15 minutes at a time) created money orders for a guy who owed the IRS $10,000 (this was a Canadian post office btw). Looked at the guys ID and whipped up eleven different US money orders (the limit on each is 999.99 US. Guy paid in cash and walked away with money orders in hand. Came back absolutely LIVID. My coworker had glanced at the ID and had written all the FROM lines with the guy’s first name and his middle name, not his surname. He stormed off absolutely pissed. Asked him to come back later as we had to call in the boss who would be able to fix it that day (the next day would’ve been too late due to the exchange rate changing every day). Guy never came back. Coworker didn’t get fired for it.
There's an old story about a guy whose job was to monitor the cheque printer and if it stuffed up, to punch the "repeat" button to replace the stuffed-up cheque. So he decides to punch "repeat" over and over while his own pay cheque is being printed. Then this "genius" decides to take a fistfull of cheques to the bank and cash them all at the same time.
Bank called the company. Company called the cops. Bye-bye moron.
“I fired him and he asked if we could still be friends”
🤣😂🤣😂
The one with the brother really made me sad. Mainly because I really don’t know if that’s something I could see my brother doing in the future or me. I hope neither.
One guy we had from a tempt agency working in our warehouse would go on and on about how he should be paid more because he has a forklift license. Not even a week in he was sitting on the leather couch at our showroom entrance, with his boots up on the glass table. Boss' wife comes in, sees him and asks "have you worked here long?" Him: "no, only about a week, who are you?" Her: "I'm the CEO's wife" he was gone shortly after.
Luckily I work with mechanics at my own garage, no risk of getting fired, not that I would act unprofessional anyway, since I have a life to move on.
Do you service car models older than 1950?

We had a guy who was a drinker. Several times he was caught drunk at work, but one night we had an office outing we all got sloshed were salesmen that happens. Our boss sends us home in cabs and let's him sleep in off in the office. After we leave he still really drunk goes and pukes on her desk and steals a company car. This was an insurance agency the cars have her name and face on them. He gets a DWI and the car gets impounded. Fired immediately.
Dudes first week at loaf n jug.I was training him. When I was in the bathroom, he cashed out 25 100$ visa gift cards and just never paid for them. he was escorted out by the police the next day.
did he... did he really think that would work?
Manager of a Pizza Place. . . employees got a generous discount, even on days not scheduled, so it wasn't uncommon that they'd order on days off. One of the male, teen-aged "counter kids" calls on his day off & call is given to me, as a Mgr. needed to take employee orders.
I pick up & say, "Hey, (counter kid), what's up? What can I get you?" While, obviously flanked by a number of his friends (heard in the background, being rowdy), answers with, "(Mgr.!) How the f*ck are ya!?". . . Hung up on him instantly & went back to what I was doing before coming up front.
Less than a minute later, I'm requested back to the phones because (counter kid) has called back. I pick up j just say, "Hello?"
"Hello (Mr. Mgr.), this is (counter kid). I'd like to place an order for pick-up."
"Sure. Go ahead.", I respond. "As long as YOU are the one coming to pick it up."
When he arrive for his order, I let him know that he needn't bother to return, as by then I had already gotten his shifts covered. He asked, "How long will that be for?"
"From now on. This was your last discounted order & you're fired."
I will not take the chance of a teen-aged employeebb, having too little impulse control, in a position that is possibly the only contact a customer will ever have with my operation. On the clock or not, THAT was unacceptable. Best part. . . his Dad, upon inquiring how his son ended up being fired on his day off, turned around and grounded him as well.
I bet that taught the kid a good lesson. You don't talk to your coworkers / management like they're your buddies, whether on the clock or not. Granted I can't even imagine talking like that to my friends either... and I don't think I'm out of touch with young people (I mean I'm 21 so I would hope I'm still in sync with young people.)
And if i remember..... I haven't worked much for fast food / etcetera, but in my small experience in that line of work, discounts are meant EXCLUSIVELY for the employees right? not for friends/family/etcetera?
The very first one prompted my brain to involuntary make my voice scream, “Ahhhhhhhh ha yes!”
Guess many people got a promotion that day... To customer
“potentially there were other substances involved” potentially???
Not a manager but some 16 year old kid from water park I worked at would steal beer and then throw the empty cans down the water slide he was supposed to be monitoring. Fired instantly. No one liked him because he would only complain about the same jobs we all had to do.
that tonys abortion clinic bit was funny as hell.
“It’s not weed it’s spice”
I’d be more disappointed that’s its spice and not weed
Whilst working at Waitrose as a delivery driver, a colleague was suspended, though KEPT his job when he was caught smoking spice. Why? Because at the time it was 100% legal and Waitrose found themselves in a grey area with that one. 😁😛
Cant ambulances go through a red light normally
They can but they also have to slow down slightly to give drivers a chance to hear the sirens and see the lights. The story seems to imply that the ambulance driver sped straight through.
Playing on your phone while driving is illegal. Playing on your phone while driving an ambulance means you'll prly never have a decent job again.
Not while on Snapchat lol
Plant lady at lowes here and I had to train a guy on watering plants (just telling him the sun plants basically needed water constantly) and my guy was PLASTERED. I tell him to get his sht together and to grab some water and chips from the gas station and sober up real fast. Find him around the back an hour later with 2 empty beer cans on the ground and a half empty one in his hand, sitting down bc he can’t stand.
I wasn't the manager at the time but I was working and this guy that liked to talk to himself about how great he was at his job showed up 15 minutes late, as usual. The DM was there because we needed someone to open and our managers were already at OT.
Anyways the guy was asked by the DM to prep fry portions and he decided that he didn't have to because we had enough. After the DM said we can always do more because fries don't go bad fast and we use them quickly he simply grabbed his jacket and left.
After that the DM literally walked up to me and asked, "Did I forget about telling him to go or did he walk out?"
This guy was such an embarrassing person that I'm surprised that he wasn't fired earlier. He just sucked at everything job related and his personality wasn't much to back him up.
The guy only got the job because he knew the manager and told him that he was going to be homeless or something if he didn't get a job. That was a lie as his gf worked a fulltime job to pay for all the bills and everything for their kid, he got a job to work 15 hours a week because she wouldn't buy him weed. And to top it off he was a misogynist who always talked about how women should "know their place", which I find it difficult how he formed this opinion while living in a home payed fully for by his gf. Any conversation with him always got shifted towards what he wanted to talk about and I'm 90% sure he would call customers slurs under his breath, especially female or minority customers.
Honestly I am hoping his gf breaks up with him, from what I could tell she was only with him because she wanted her daughter to have a father but with a father like that I'm sure you could find a better roll model almost anywhere.
2:41 wtf dude
"did it clear his wanted level" 😂😂😂

So I was a manager back at Burger King in 2012 and I had an employee who posted a picture of his feet in our tub of lettuce which we use for the burgers, originally, we didn’t know he did that until it got huge online and became a widespread meme. Some people indeed might have eaten that foot lettuce. And yes, he did have foot fungus which was even worse. We fired him, but before we did, we made him eat that entire tub of lettuce only using his toes as his utensil.
I'll take Shit that never happened for 500 please!
Number 15: burger king foot lettuce
No the infamous Mayfield Heights Burger King foot lettuce incident actually happened in 2012
the last thing you want on your burger king burger is someone else's foot fungus, but as it turns out, that might be what you get
Lol fake, his manager was called like an hour after he posted it and he was fired right there. In 2012.
That one around the 14:00 mark about the IT guy that just plain sloppy work on the part of the employer. You revoke their access THEN fire them. Don't tell them first that's a recipe to get fucked over and frankly rightfully so, not saying being a vigilante is right but most people are going to want to get a little revenge somehow if they are being fired and someone with IT power is the worst person to piss off in a corporation that uses servers.
Someone where I work had a road rage incident. Got arrested with out logo on her shirt. How she kept her job is beyond me

Those first three sentences sound like a rap.
So how the heck did the Police Officer end up in the tree in the first place?
Maybe he climbed it?
Me and a couple other coworkers were fired from a movie theater I worked at for climbing on the scaffolding behind one of the screens. Thinking about it now I'm not sure whether or not it was deserved
In regards to Mr. Hampton - Saw/heard the same story (with minor variations) elsewhere a long time ago
Even if you wanted to defend the receptionist with the argument “ he should have told her his name , cause any stranger could claim they’re here To see him “
she’s the one who should also ask , if not CALL THE FUCKING MANAGER TO CONFIRM , I MEAN HE WAS RIGHT THERE
