Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted November 3, 2002 I was just talking to my friend Matt and he got FIRED from McDonald's today. He got into an arguement with the Manager and he ended up punching him out. (my friend has issues). I know I've got one or two stories about getting fired. Any one else?

Guest MrRant Report post Posted November 3, 2002 That wasn't laid off... laid off is getting severance pay or something. Getting fired is getting your ass thrown out on the street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Texas Small Arms 09 Report post Posted November 3, 2002 I've never been fired, I quit because the manager was an asshole who didn't quite understand certain things came before work. And the job I'm at now wouldn't think about firing me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted November 3, 2002 I got fired from a landscaping job this past July, just because the manager felt I wasn't "getting along with my co-workers that well." I will admit, though, that they were a bunch of morons. Now, I'm at a job, that I can't see myself getting fired from, or quitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've walked off the job in the middle of my shift, but I've always been an otherwise model employee (well, as far as the big bosses were concerned). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted November 3, 2002 The one time I got fired (fast food job) was when I spoke up about how some people I worked with didn't do sh*t. Of course, after they canned me the store went to hell because they didn't have anyone reliable to close... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted November 3, 2002 I got fired from a landscaping job this summer, by my stepmom's sister. She had never said anything to me about a problem, but she told my stepmom she was thinking about firing me for no particular reason. Then she avoided my stepmom so she wouldn't have to pay me for the last couple weeks I worked. I got a new job, and we all wondered why she was acting so strangely. Then her husband brought thier son to stay with us for a few days, he said they were going on vacation. In reality, she was in the hospital because she OD'd on painkillers and died a few days later. Whoops! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She hid from your family for a few weeks so she didnt have to pay you. She had her son stay at your house while she and her husband went away on "vacation" she died a few days later from ODing on Pain Killers. If I am correct, dude, you got one fucked up family.

Guest Grenouille Report post Posted November 3, 2002 This is stupid, but true. I went in to the pizza place I worked at with some friends for lunch since I had an employee discount. After ordering, they tell me they got rid of the discount, so I said fuck this we're going to Papa John's which was new in the city and taking a shitload of business from this place. I went in to work a couple days later to find out that the owner heard me and decided that I could work that night, but after that I was done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leena Report post Posted November 4, 2002 I've never been fired, but I've walked out in the middle of shift 3 times. I was also asked nicely to leave at a supermarket I worked at for about 2 weeks... which was my fault, because I completely forgot I had a shift one night. (I was only 16.. ). I left quietly until I threw a watermelon at my manager, because I'm... me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BaldFish Report post Posted November 4, 2002 I used to fix bowling machines when they broke down--sit behind the lanes, read a book, respond to service calls. Well, I had just gotten back up to school and was taking 7:30am classes, fell asleep during a midnight shift, and woke up to find myself unemployed. Later I found out that the (male) manager on duty had slapped my (yes, female) cousin (who he was dating at the time), and gotten himself a black eye and a bloody nose three seconds later when she kicked his ass. (She's tough--played QB for her high school football team, etc, etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted November 4, 2002 Well, this really isn't getting fired... I worked in a comic book store for a couple years, after a while I was pretty much running it by myself, save for the money being put into the store. I walk in one day and the place is half empty. Boss is boxing books "Carry out some boxes to the truck" That was pretty much how I learned I was no longer working there, out of business. Although my boss fucked me royal on money, so I did a hefty amount of pocketing the last day (between $100-$200, don't remember...everything was half off or more so it was easy to pull off) while crap was being moved out, and I purposly broke a Dawn and Evil Ernie statue, probably didn't notice it till he unboxed them later...and stashed some books for myself, and some toys that looked cool. But even with all that the prick still got me worse then I got him...but the IRS was all over his ass in the first place, my deal would have only made it worse...I was tempted. But I kept my yapper shut. Fuck Tim Alison! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted November 4, 2002 I got fired from Babies'R'Us, when I: -Refused to fix scuff marks on the floor, because there were about 7234571518351 of them, and doing so would've gotten me in more trouble, because I wouldn't have been able to fulfill my other "janitorial duties". I got written up after I responded that "It wasn't my job, that's what we pay that Guatamalan guy for" Write Up #1, and a stern talking to. -Jokingly and barely, hit a female employee on the head with an empty formula box. She complained, and I pleaded my case, to no avail. Write up #2 and a stern talking to. -Wrote "thug" on my numerous cleaning supplies, including Windex, Toilet Cleaner, and the tampon box for the womens' restroom. Write up #3 and a very stern talking to about defacing company property. The last straw for them was when I was replacing the paper towels in the break room, and accidentally ripped the front part off of the dispenser. I got canned for breaking a goddamn paper towel dispenser. That's the only job that I've been fired from. Well, unless you count KMart, McDonalds, and RFVideo.

Guest JHawk Report post Posted November 4, 2002 I can't say I was ever fired, although I did put in my two week notice at Bob Evans when a waitress got written up for being an our late...because she was in a car accident on the way to work. Apparently, the GM is more important there than the police. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted November 4, 2002 I got canned from Sam's Hell for supposedly stealing time. I lost my time badge one Saturday morning and I was going to see Super Troopers that afternoon with some friends at 4:00. I had counted down my drawer at the end of my shift and instead of doing Time Adjustment, I went looking for it with a friend of mine that worked in Freezer/Cooler. About 20 minutes passes by and it's like 3:50, so I just give up and go back inside to get a new one made(which took maybe 10 minutes because the Membership Desk was being run by one person and there were like 15 people in line). I get my new badge, clock out to leave, and completely forgot about the whole thing until the wannabe GM called me upstairs on Monday when I was supposed to be working closing shift and said point blank that "You were caught stealing time and there's only one thing we can do about that and that's termination". Man, I was so pissed that I was seeing red. That bald-headed fucktard screwed me over because he(and the bitch who was the manager over the Front End) both hated my guts. I got the last laugh though, because *someone* made a phone call to home office and let them know what a couple of managers were doing illegally in the name of the company, so THEY got canned as well. Boy, do I love revenge... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted November 4, 2002 I haven't been fired (yet) from my job at a warehouse, but they're have been some fun canning stories while I've been there. - Guy got fired for driving a forklift into the wall, piercing it. - A gal got fired for violating the dress code and wearing a sleeveless...and she had f'n unshaven pit hair... - Three guys got fired for kicking another guy's car door in while they were in the company parking lot. And the winner: - A couple on graveyard got fired when the wife stabbed the husband in the cheek with A BALLPOINT PEN~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cynicalprofit Report post Posted November 5, 2002 After the cook passed out drunk I was told to take over, I did for about an hour and then we got a rush from out of nowhere. I went and bitch slapped the guy awake to help me, he did a horribly job. We got so many complaints about everything he sent out, we had to cook a steak 3 times because he sent it out half uncooked the first time, and way overdone the second time and finally I cooked it the thrid time and it didnt come back. I get fired when i come in on saturday because of all the complaints and my manger told his manager I was running things, hello Im the dishwasher, what was I doing running things anyways. Oh yeah, the head cook came in drunk thats right. It should be noted my manger was off getting stoned out back while we were getting fucked. Needless to say I told them off and screamed as i left, because it was my favorite simpsosn quote, I never washed my hands. I heard a few pieces of silverware hit the tables. They are now almost out of business. Hell they even called my parents when i was in college to see if I could come back and work there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted November 5, 2002 Years and years ago, I worked at a 7-11 store. I was the assistant manager, which meant I ran things when the franchise owner wasn't there. On a Saturday night, one of the people working the 11:00-7:00 graveyard shift called out on very short notice. O had just worked 2:00-11:00, and made plans earlier in the week to go out after work that night. Of course, he gets a call about the staffing problem and asks to talk to me. Him: I need to stay and work overnight. Me: I can't. I have plans. Him: I don't care what you're doing. Me: Yes, but I care what I'm doing. Him: Fine, you don't work for me anymore. Me: Ok. Him: ... So I left, and didn't show up when I was scheduled to the following afternoon. He called me that night and said, "Ok, you made your point." I said, "You fired me, so I think you're the one who made the point." Basically, instead of apologizing for being a jackass, he said, "My wife told me I handled that wrong." So I said I had no plans to go back to work for him, and he hung up all depressed. Too bad. I found out that three people quit almost immediately when they heard I'd left. And I also heard thru the grapevine that the vendors who gave him good deals when I was there started giving him the shaft (they all liked me and hated him), so it all worked out in the end.
