I was a roofer in NJ the summer after I graduated college. August rolls around and my crew said it was too hot to work. It was easily 105 with a heat index of 115. The roofing co. owner rolls up and I tell him we think we should stop at noon and pick up again early the next day. He looks at them, then me, then them again. They're all working again at this point. Left me hanging. So the owner told me to go home and not bother coming in the next day. I went home to my air conditioning and laughed as the state got hit by a 20-day heatwave.

Worked as a telemarketer. Local calls to subscribers of a service. Boss was abusive as hell, taking out his frustrations on employees by angrily berating them. After he did this to a nice girl that worked there I was mad and knew I was gonna quit, so I called my mom who was in Japan at the time and just had a long casual conversation until he stormed out of his office and fired me.

Not my story, but definitely belongs here.

Worked as an admin assistant in an office, run by the regional supervisor Rick (known as "Rick with a silent P" behind his back). His management style included heavy doses of screaming at people in the middle of the open-office floor plan, and eventually one of the other admins interrupted his yelling at her by saying "Rick, kiss me."

"What? Why should I kiss you?"

"Well, I figure if I'm getting f**ked by you, I should get a kiss out of it."

"I think you're done working here."

"Yeah, I think so too." And she packed her things and left.

I was the hardware & software development person and the only one that knew the Linux and applications side. My newly promoted boss had run off about 6 other employees before they were placed over me and about 6 other engineers. After a few weeks of micro managing me and telling me how to do my job, something they knew absolutely nothing about, I called her an *sshole.


Was suspended and terminated 4 days later. Within a few months they had to lay off 65% of the company and within a couple of years the parent company sold them off. There are maybe 3 to 5 of the original 100 employees still there but the company will never recover. I landed a new position within a week and almost doubled my income. To this day my ex-boss still has my accomplishments listed on her Indeed resume.

I got fired from Walmart because I went 5 minutes over without clocking out to take a lunch break.

I had gotten in trouble for being rude to a customer. I worked electronics; a customer asked me a question and I pointed her in the right direction, but because she couldn't find what she was looking for (I was tied to a register so I couldn't really walk around). The customer said some negative things as she left and in return, I wished her a good goodbye.

I got transferred to Furniture, across the aisle from electronics.

So one day, I'm building some desk or something. I get called to run a register upfront as I'm trained. When I get leave from the register, I have near zero time to clean up my mess made building such desk. I come in on my next shift and get fired.

Kinda quit/kinda fired.

While I was backpacking I got a part time job at a chain restaurant, I had management experience back home but I wasn't looking for a management role there.

I just wanted to carry food from one place to another place.

Maybe drinks as well.

Somehow the current 'restaurant manager' (aka chief plate carrier) heard that someone with more plate carrying experience was on the scene and was after her job.

She made my introductory shift a living f**king hell, she gave me half the floor to run (I didn't even know the table number lay out), with 3 staff whoe's names I didn't even know.

As you can image the entire shift was a cluster f**k not only for me but the poor patrons just trying to eat their dinner.

As last orders where called I tried to make sure all our customers were happy. Then I ripped off my apron (yeah it was the kinda place where the waitresses wear aprons) and name tag and threw it at the s**t stain 'restaurant manager'.

Went on holiday and came back to him firing me because I 'didn't fit in' (I'd been working there for over a year).

I was once working casually for a phone kiosk shop, and the manager sold the shop to another owner who cut back my shifts AND dropped my wage! After the end of one shift I said to the assistant manager who was an absolute troll that im not coming back, he proceeded to Facebook message me telling me I have no work ethic etc and I proceeded to tell him that was rich coming from a bloke who apparently came to work drunk one time (or something to that effect). The real kicker was I still got paid for that shift and later joined a telco as a customer service rep where I met my now husband

I worked at a store that offered a 10% discount on large orders to non-profit organizations but didn't advertise that fact. I found out about it and would occasionally use it as a selling point to close a large potential sale. I was working one such deal that would have grossed the store about $500,000 with a net merchandise profit of 27% even after the 10% was applied, and I'd personally seen that discount applied on larger sales than that so I knew it didn't exceed the maximum.

My department manager took over the sale since he needed to approve the discount and informed me that the customer decided to walk. I reached out to them on my own time to see if there was anything we could do to get them back and my contact informed me that the manager had told her, in no uncertain terms, that they weren't wiling to work with her and she should go elsewhere.


After digging for a bit I found that the department manager had been actively seeking out customers for whom the corporate 10% off policy applied and selling them packages at full retail, then re-rolling the sales with the 10% discount and pocketing the difference, to the tune of about $400,000 just that year.

I reached out to the compliance hotline and was given the runaround, so I went to the loss prevention manager for the district, who was also the regional HR liaison. It turned out that not only were he and several of the general managers aware of the issue, they were in on it and it had apparently netted them several million dollars district wide.


I wasn't immediately fired but was removed from the schedule or would have my schedule changed at the last minute so that I eventually was let go for attendance related issues. I finally heard back from the compliance hotline a month or two after getting fired and denied unemployment, and decided I might as well share what I'd found. I had also by that time reached out to local law enforcement.

I wasn't given the specific details but the last I heard several of those managers did time in jail for racketeering, money laundering, fraud and a number of other charges. I also won out because I haven't had to work in retail since then.

I worked at TigerDirect. I got fired 30 minutes after the store closed as soon as the "investigation" ended.

Someone stole a laptop. They blamed me. Not for stealing it, but for "aiding" the thief.

This was false. I gave the laptop to the cashier and told her it was for that guy. The guy slipped out of line and said "I forgot 1 other thing". Came back with a monitor box and placed it beside the laptop to hide it away from the cashier's PoV. While she was cashing other people out, he swiped the laptop, walked up the greeter at the door and said "this is my laptop, I was just getting it repaired". The greeter let him go and off he went on his merry way.


TigerDirect does not have barcode door detectors. The greeter also got fired at the end of the shift, and he was rehired 5~ months later because he has down-syndrome and was going to sue the store...

...That was my first "infraction" and was there for 2 years as a Service Technician. Selling laptops wasnt even my job, I was doing the salesman a favor. The same thing would have happened to anyone. But because I TOUCHED THE LAPTOP, I was automatically labelled as an aid in theft.

Unemployment insurance saw through my boss' bullsh-t reasoning and compensated me for 9 months of same-wage pay. Win.

Delivered pizza for a few years during college.

Came in one day. Several managers were working and they are all dragging *ss. Turns out that the Regional Manager had made them all work overnight to deep clean the ovens.....while off the clock. The GM was a young guy that just wanted to look good for his bosses and avoided confrontation at all costs, so he didn't say anything.


I brought it up and was 'quit or be fired' immediately.....so I called the owner and corporate. The RM panicked and tried to rehire me. During our conversation I may or may not have mentioned the labor board after refusing her job offer. (There was no way in hell I was going to work for a GM or RM that fire people for 'causing contention' and a 'hostile work environment' (for, you know, telling then that they could lose their jobs for making people work for free)

Everyone got paid for that night, and I never had to work another day in that hellhole.

I do realize that I could have had some sort of court case due to the whistleblowing laws, but I was a poor college student and couldn't afford a lawyer. I refused the job offer and technically quit. It would have probably just cost a ton of cash and I probably wouldn't have gotten anything out of it.

I was fired a week and a half before Christmas. It was my first "adult" job out of college and I'd only worked there for about a month. I was hired to be their technical writer, in a temporary position that had the potential to go full time. I was to update all their procedures. I finished that project in that within the first month. I was supposed to be there for three months before it was determined if my position would be made permanent.

My boss fired me because I'm shy and didn't go out of my way to talk to everyone (as in go to every single person's office every day for a chat). Even though no one else went out of their way to chat and were often in their offices all day. She also said I never came up with any new ideas or offered anything to the company, which was flat out untrue. It's just that everything I suggested, she brushed off.

She told me I wasn't built to work in an office and should go back to the big box store I'd worked at previously. What's more, up until that point I'd received nothing but positive feedback. This came out of nowhere.* (My dad thinks they really fired me because I finished their procedures a lot faster than they thought I would.)

A few months later, I found a job that was closer and paid more. My new bosses value the skills I bring to this job. I've really come out of my shell and excelled here. Even though I still don't love it, this job is a far better fit for me than that one was.

*While this is true, I did have a dream the night before that I got fired. My boss even used the same words she'd used in real life the next day ("It's not working out.") And it was an eerily realistic dream, in that my office looked exactly like it did in real life. I'm not suggesting anything by mentioning this. I just thought it was weird and interesting.

I decorated my "head dress" with #NODAPL #StandWithStandingRock #WaterIsLife, took a picture of it and posted it on my personal FB page after school hours. I was called into the principals office after break got back to have a meeting.

This meeting consisted of the principal, her boss, and her bosses boss.

I landed a job that I was extremely happy for as it brought me into the field I was always chasing after. I was already working there for a while and my supervisor approached me mentioning that our company allows visitors to come during an employee's break or during the company's lunch time and suggested I bring my girlfriend over to have lunch with me and my coworkers.

After getting my lead's approval, my girlfriend at the time came to visit me, signed an NDA, and then had lunch with me. I was notified later that day that I'd have to turn in my badge and at end of that week no longer show up to work.


From what I was told, the company was bought out within the week prior and before they notified us, the parent company had enforced their own strict visitor's policy on us and couldn't allow me another chance.

My girlfriend at the time and I are no longer together now and she still doesn't know the real reason why I no longer work there. I don't think I'll ever tell her the truth about what happened. It's the only lie I've ever made between us and I hate myself for doing that, but I don't ever want her to feel a shred of guilt. I cherish her more than anything and I loved the day that she came to visit me, I'll always remember it.

My brother and I started working from a very early age. We both started delivering papers at the age of 12, when kids in our area still did that. However, my first real job was working in a local grocery store. Initially the manager seemed to like me quite a bit. I was hardworking and had a good attention to detail. One day a friend who also worked for the grocery store begged me to ask the manager to switch positions for the day. For whatever reason, this made the manager hate me. He tormented me for the next two months. I basically was the only person performing two jobs (I inherited my friends and kept my original responsibilities).

This sucked but I was young and indestructible so it didn't bother me too much. The straw that broke the camel's back was when he chewed me over some BS out in front of perhaps 100 customers. To exact my revenge, I used a box cutter to slice up an entire pallet of freeze dried coffee. Seeing him utterly freak out trying to figure out who did it made it tough not to incriminate myself, but I didn't get caught. Ultimately I just stopped showing up for for (quit without telling anyone) and I was fired. I never regretted my actions in the least.

My first ever job. Went around neighborhoods and dropped flyers for a pizza store (individually owned, not a franchise or anything) to the doorsteps of houses.

Me and my buddy's strategy was to drop 2-3 flyers per house and a whole stack at any apartment buildings, this way we'd be done far faster than the boss expected us to.

We'd spend time at the community centre while we wait for a realistic time that we'd be done if we handed out the flyers honestly. I didn't feel too bad as we were fairly underpaid considering the summer heat.

One day, the boss commended us and offered us free pizza. But as we were feasting on this gift, she received numerous complaints from home owners having received multiple flyers... I guess it was a tight knit neighborhood who all notice the same thing. So the boss scolded us and fired us while we were having here free pizza ;)

I was working in a warehouse with a woman who was normally very cheerful. One week she was looking a bit down so as a light-hearted joke, I took a box roughly 10"x10"x15", and wrote "CAUTION: HUMAN HEAD" on it, with some red marker for blood drips and such- and put it on her desk. Wasn't a great joke, but thought it'd at least raise a smile. Now from context I imagine you're thinking "no-this is a bad idea" and you'd be right. Woman came in, saw the box, and ran to the toilet crying.

Turned out it was the anniversary of her brother's death. Decapitated in a motorcycle accident. Everyone else knew, so they assumed that I did. No amount of arguing would convince them otherwise and it wasn't worth dragging it out, so i left. But I'm ok with at least trying to be nice, even if it wasn't the right way of going about it at the time.
