“Security escorted her out when she arrived for her shift the next day.”

Here is what some people had to say.

“Not that shocking but still gets me angry to this day.
A company I worked at prides itself annoyingly on us learning with a trial-by-fire approach.
You just get staffed with another associate and learn as you go.
As a more senior associate, I got paired up with new associates to be trained.
“The first assignment I worked on with him, he was asking foundational questions.
They let him go a few weeks later.”

3.“Over-performing.
I shit you not.
“For crying after she got yelled at.
“She started crying.
We could hear the whole thing, as we could every time he did this to somebody.
He was a real piece of shit, this guy.
I quit two days later with no notice.
Three more people quit the next week.
I was told they had trouble keeping a minimum staff for at least a couple of years after that.

“Someone I knew worked for a huge religious ‘charity’ working security in the homeless shelter they run.
The shelter collects donations all year, including food.
Perfectly good food thrown in a dumpster instead of gifted to their residents or donated elsewhere.
So this guy I knew went dumpster diving after his shift.
Got fired over a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates that were in the garbage anyways.
“A woman got fired because her daughter was sick too many times.
But if your boss gets suspicious because it happens too often, then he can fire you.
Her daughter has a heart problem, and that means doctor appointments, hospital visits, and so on.
But he played the asshole and threw her out.
She sued his ass off for that.”

He blamed me even though I had caught him looking at it.
I was so pissed.”

“My boss got fired for posting a YouTube video on Facebook.
We had a strict social media policy.”
The gift card had like six cents on it.”

“I was given a different position than I was hired and trained for.
This different position barely had any work.
I’m saying I’d be done with my entire workload within three hours of clocking in.
I kept going to my boss to ask for more work.
After a few days of this, I was let go for asking for more work.”

“I got fired because I wasn’t keeping up with others.
We were filling pallets to be moved.
I was filling fewer pallets than the others.
The problem was that I was working by myself, and everyone else was working in pairs.
I was doing it more efficiently and getting twice as much stuff on a pallet.
So in reality, I was doing as much work as two other people together.”
“I think the supervisor just didn’t like me.
But he wasn’t my supervisor, nor did he have the authority to fire anyone.
I was supposed to go work in another department after this project was done.
This guy ended up getting fired for pulling this.”

“This guy was in charge of new employee training and making all their travel arrangements.
I went to HR and they walked him out of the building not long after.”

“A female employee got a foot tattoo.
She worked at a beach restaurant and they could wear sandals.
The owner slut shamed her and fired her…over a shamrock on her foot.”
