“A co-worker infested the office with fleas.”
Recently,u/qwerty_suxasked “what is the dumbest reason why someone at your workplace got fired?”
and we decided to round up the best answers:
1.
“New office assistant was asked to drop some laptops off at FedEx to be shipped.
The intrusive thoughts won, I guess.”

“It turned out he lived in a trailer with over a dozen stray cats.
He kept taking in these strays and just not doing anything for them.”

4.
“A friend’s co-worker got fired for paying prostitutes with the company’s credit card.”
“He pantsed a guy in the middle of the office.
Literally pulled a co-worker’s pants down in front of the full office.
Underpants came along for the ride.”

“He just didn’t log into work.
It was a remote job, he was new, we weren’t expecting a lot of him.
But he wouldn’t access or respond to Teams messages asking how he was doing in an entire day.
Honestly pretty stupid like, you don’t even have to go to work.”

The next day when I fired him he demanded his last cheque.
I told him we would send it to the next of kin."

“Worked at a grocery store for my first job.
My friend got fired for not taping the receipt to his bottle of water he kept at the register.
Manager said, ‘it sends the message to customers that employees get free products’.”
“My immediate supervisor planned a European vacation with her girlfriend for a year.
Got time off in writing, paid deposits etc.
She went anyway and got fired for it.”
