My first job was at Subway when I was 15. One night I have about 10-ish people there. Door opens and my buddy walks in. Without hesitating, I call out "We don't serve your kind here!" For context, my buddy is Romani but looks black. Everyone in the store turns to him, then back to me. Then we both start cracking up and he tells me to shut the hell up. The nervous laughter from other people in line was priceless. Didn't get fired.
@@davidwatts3186 A lot of times seeing people reactions to stuff is extremely funny, plus, laughing with the guy you said it at makes it obvious it was a joke, making it e v e n b e t t e r
Years (20+) ago, I was at the Vets with my dog for his yearly vaccination . The place was busy. A lady comes out of the back screaming and crying inconsolably. Someone had euthanized the wrong animal... I left and found a new vets office, as did every pet owner there. Word spread and the place was closed within 2 weeks.
Now that right there is a slam-dunk lawsuit just waiting to happen. Also, fuck whoever didn't check which animal was to be euthanized, fuck them with a razorblade-covered pole.
As someone who fairly recently lost their pet via euthanasia, it’s already hard enough to do when there’s no other choice. If it were me/my pet that suffered from that mistake, there wouldn’t BE a business left to close down.
Shit like this is how you get your door kicked in and lit up with a 249. Do that to my animals and I'll euthanize your entire family. God. Thats fucking horrible.
@@thecoolnerdplaysvr5674 honestly, same. God I cannot imagine losing one of my fur babies because some idiot didn't think to double check which animal they were about to kill...
3:27 If this is true, they should've fired whoever thought it was a good idea to roll and stack fragile, $100k assets. Just put it in a rack or a padded case or literally any container less prone to destruction. Imagine an earthquake...
Either way, you wouldn't leave sports cars next to an incline with no brakes on. In that case, whoever parked them would be at fault. Same here, clearly $1m shouldn't have ever been able to roll off a shelf.
Earthquakes are actually nonexistent in Europe pretty much. The lack of natural disasters is a huge reason they had historical success; that stability allowed for sustained development.
Got hired part time at the supermarket, along with a bunch of other guys after a job fair. Day one, I found one of the new employees eating ice cream in the back room food storage. When I past by I just pointed to a camera and said "you know theres a camera right there right?" He immedietly left and went back to work. When I went back to the main area of the supermarket the manager past me and said "Yeah that dudes gone".
The 1 where the rolls fell and cost a million dollars damage, if they are so valuable, why the hell are you stacking them in such a way an accident like this can happen? Thats on the company, not the employee.
That was my first thought. Such shitty resource management on the companies part. The employees can only do so much with what they're provided with. Goes to show they value their products far far more than their employees too
It's still a significant loss on the companies part to have to pay for it to be produced again, but I do see what you mean. It's a valuable resource with an enormous loss value and they should set up at least some logical protection of such expensive assets Accidents happen. You have to plan around that
I once threw away 3,000,000 dollars worth of product at my work. Granted it was meant to be tossed but the feeling of chucking dozens of mortgages into a dumpster and watching the product explode is one of the best feelings I've had.
That last one was sweet justice. I think sometimes high school kids try harder and take jobs more seriously. At that age, the idea of getting fired is unimaginable to many, and they don’t view their jobs as disposable.
Also there's the rather simple concept of different circumstances promoting different skills. Simply said, the older guys were probably garbage at multitasking as they don't do it on a daily basis like many, if not most, people around that age do when it comes to computers. There's also tech-literacy. Teens and people in general who grew up with all sorts of technology are likely way easier to train for using said things as they have experience learning and using many programs and devices, some of which might resemble the subject in UI.
Darca1n - I think technology is a big factor. I even saw it become an issue for people who were in their late 40s when I was in my late 20s. I wouldn’t want to assume an older person, whether they’re 30 or 80, couldn’t do the job. Age discrimination against older people is a huge issue. I just love the sweet justice that the guy who was so sure of his prejudices managed to pick people who proved it so wrong.
Oh I'm not saying older people are incapable of handling technology, I'm sure there's elderly people who are absolute gods when it comes to technology and handling it, it just isn't as common with the older generations as they didn't grow up with much use of technology of that sort and thus it's something they have to learn while likely already adults. Some people are very bad at learning when they're adults, for whatever reason.
Several years ago I started my first job at McDonald's. 3 weeks in, we got slammed by 3 busses of Basketball players. I was asked to run food for all to go orders while the more experienced cashier took care of the rush. I had quite a large order (4 large bags) in my arms rushing out the door. I dropped it (like 45 dollars worth of food). It was my first big screw up. I was in tears, until the owner put her hand on my shoulder to tell me it was okay. She really helped my self esteem that day, and assured me I'd get better.
@@duhspicynoodle Sure. I was working a temp job at a chicken processing plant to get by. I did nights cleaning and my area was the giant spiral freezer. One night as usual I hopped into the freezer with my hose ready to blast off the ice. A couple minutes in I heard the door close.... and lock. Yeah I forgot to lockout/tagout the freezer, and my coworker somehow did not see my hose sticking out the door before closing it and turning on the freezer. Then it hit me..... I shouldn't have started for another hour, as production was still finishing up. I was supposed to help disassemble the breader first. So here I am yelling over the loud freezer, which was negative 15 degrees with high speed fans. 30 minutes later I am rescued when a lead noticed my hose in the door. My smock and body suit were frozen solid, and I was very close to hypothermia. Needless to say me and the employee that closed the door were fired for disobeying lockout tag out within our probation period. It was a blessing in disguise, as just 2 days later I got a call back from my current employer and he asked me to start asap.
That last one always confuses me. You'd think an investor would see how well the place was running with the current staff and not try to fuck it up. I've seen it happen a couple of times and it never ends well for them.
A lot of people who think they're hot shit investors will buy a place then think they immediately know how to run it better - so they change everything. A lot of those people don't remain investors for long.
@@danlorett2184 Just to add, this was very similar to a manager I once had. Thankfully he left for a position closer to home. But at the time I'd been working at the store about a year, so even though I was just a cashier, I knew the store well. Well he gets hired and immediately tries to manage the store exactly like the last one he worked at. Regardless of how we running things, he was the manager with 5 years experience and got paid more, so his ideas were clearly superior. He would also directly contradict the store manager so much that eventually when we walked in we asked if we were following Manager A's rules or Manager B's rules today. At first I tried to politely explain things - like don't send half of the cashiers to work on stuff in the backroom because in 5 minutes we'll get the after lunch rush and be swamped. His favorite response was "we'll see" with a little smug nod. And of course we get backed up with lines and I'd very loudly call all the cashiers back up front (to make sure he heard). Some real salt in the wound was when the front end supervisor got written up because we had a visitor from corporate who saw the lines backed up (because this manager had yet again sent some cashiers to work on projects), and it was the front end supervisors job to make sure the lines remained a reasonable length. Turns out the supervisor had no clue where the cashiers were, the manager never told her anything. And of course he didn't do the decent thing and take responsibility in front of corporate, nope he just stood there and agreed she needed to pay more attention. He also habitually told customers that he would personally take care of things and as soon as the customer was out of ear shot he'd pawn off whatever request he promised onto someone else. Like the time he sold 5 pieces of furniture, said he'd bring it all to the back, wrap it in plastic wrap (which wasn't something we typically did but we don't have bubble wrap and they were concerned about the furniture getting scratched in the back of the truck) and help load it all when they returned in an hour. As soon as they paid and left, he called someone out of the backroom, barked the orders and said he couldn't help because he had to finish up some paperwork before leaving in 30 minutes. He always tried to call the same guy too, because he did a good job. Just once I wanted him to catastrophically mess up so the manager would have egg on his face and try to explain to the customer why it went wrong.
I dropped my knife while on a ladder, and it almost landed on a customer. The customer didnt care, but if they told anyone that would have been it for me
@@msi4887 Might've been a putty knife or something similar. I know you can also spread stucco with a knife to give a wave effect instead of using a glorified Spackle gun, though it's more expensive both in terms of man hours required as well as materials used.
@KONO DIO DA Putty knives typically aren't all that sharp, their entire job is to cut, spread, and shape putty, stucco, Spackle, and in some cases concrete that hasn't set yet. Getting hit by the cutting end'll hurt, sure, but unlike a butter knife, the blades of putty knives actually are weak like the materials they work with. I could bend one with my bare hands, and I'm a scrawny weakling.
I work at a Jimmy John's in a low-income part of town, full of nothing but trailer trash and a few other businesses. Most of the people are fairly nice, but the few bad apples are REALLY bad. Our store has a policy where we will replace any mistake in a delivery order, no questions asked, but this results in a lot of customers making fake complaints to get free food. One of the worst offenders was a particularly nasty old lady who would make needlessly complex orders and then call to yell at us if even the slightest thing was wrong and demand a new sandwich. Eventually it got so bad that we made a note in our records to triple check her orders every single time. She got wise to this and began outright lying about her order being wrong. I eventually got sick of this and decided to call her out over the phone, telling her I knew for a fact she was lying to me. This prompted her to go absolutely ballistic and start shrieking into her phone so loud that I had to hold the phone away from my ear. She started ranting about how we had no respect for other people's hard earned money all other bullshit. Once she calmed down a little, figuring I was going to get fired anyway so I might as well go out a legend, I began chewing out this old hag and telling her exactly what I thought about her. I told her that her complaints had wasted more of the store's money than all other customers combined, that she had no right to be acting so rude and entitled towards people who were bending over backwards for her on the most arbitrary terms, that our store would likely start saving money by blacklisting her address, and that she was just a generally awful person and nobody liked her. She got very quiet, then said she was going to report me to corporate. I told her that was no skin off my back since I was working a minimum wage job and could probably find a better one anyway with out much trouble, then hung up. I then turned around to see the store owner standing right behind me with tears in his eyes and a huge grin on his face. He told me that was everything he had ever wanted to say to that lady and that I most certainly wasn't fired. The lady never actually reported me, she still orders from us almost a year later, and she doesn't complain at all anymore. Maybe she took my words to heart, who knows?
This is beautiful. I had a guy come in once while I was working at an Einstein's/Caribou place. Him and his sons ordered these sandwiches with a lot on them, then claimed they were wrong after eating half. We agreed to make more, no charge, even though we were being careful about making it. We thought hey, mistakes happen, let's do right by them. I was a little miffed because I noticed they still ate their wrongly made sandwiches but they took their new ones and left, and I thought that was all I would see of them. Done and gone. --But no, they came back the next day. This time they asked for a manager and claimed that their Second sandwiches were also made wrong. I was really pissed now, because I had helped make those sandwiches and checked to make sure all was well with them before they were handed out. I didn't say anything at the time and I regretted it. I was still too timid to call someone out in public, even if I knew these people were scamming us and the manager that day wasn't the same as the day before, so he couldn't have known. After those guys left, a coworker stepped up to say what all of us were thinking and the manager said he'd turn them away if they came back. They never did.
Man, I could totally understand the owner's reaction, because he KNOWS he would get fired if HE said anything, so he was happy to know one of his employees said something for him. Worst thing about being a manager or owner is you have to actually pretend to give a shit about the customer no matter WHO they are, but an employee working minimum wage at the very bottom of the company ladder...the perfect person to have the power to tell a customer off who really deserves it. I guarantee a majority of owners would feel the same way in this situation.
I once had a boss fake a client complaint against me. This was one week before I was due to leave anyway, so I don't know what he was thinking. A month after I left, the entire staff refused to work with him, because he was such an arsehole. It took another month, but the business owner eventually asked him to leave...then closed the business, divorced his wife and married his girlfriend. So, a happy ending, I guess.
I had one of these moments. I was sick but my boss ordered me into work anyways ("Come in or you're fired."). No biggy, it was a callcenter job. I would just be sitting infront of a computer all day making calls. Well. Turns out it was worse than I thought, talked to my boss and he insisted that I wasn't that sick. That was when I couldn't hold it in anymore and wound up puking up all over him. Was positive I was going to be fired, this guy was strict as balls and didn't put up with anything. Instead, I got the rest of the week off and he sent me a get well soon card with $50 in it. I think the money was one part apology and one part 'please don't tell HR I made you come in sick'.
Tbh thinking about in some of these cases why bother tiring them because they have learned their mistake and most likely won't make it again but firing them and hiring a new person just means that the new person has a high chance of repeating or doing a massive mistake.
I guess it sends a message. If you can cause the company a million dollars in damage and not get fired, other employees won't be as careful. It's about setting an example I guess.
*I am very incompetent but I am self aware so I will try to learn from the mistakes of others* . *Thank you to everyone that shared their fails* . *You are greatly appreciated* !! ಥ_ಥ
I had a second job running the front desk at a hotel in the evenings. The owner would always ride me about letting potential customers walk out. They ask how much a room was, I'd look it up and tell them. If it wasn't good enough I was expected to haggle. No thanks. So I was working New Years Eve, single mom comes in with her kids, wanting to have a cool night for them. Explains her financial situation. So I rented her a room for $10, no where near the asking price. Owner took note of it and wasn't pleased, but didn't bring it up to me.
My cousin David THOUGHT he got the job but was in fact, scheduled for another interview. On monday, he showed up, asked where was the break room so he could put his lunch in the refrigerator. Worked for about three hours when the HR guy walked by and asked if he still was available for his interview in 30 minutes.
A supervisor of mine told me at his first job at a fast food restaurant he accidentally started a fire and he bolted out of the building. It was his 1st week on the job and he was 16. He said he was scared and didnt know what else to do. He got fired the next day
@@RavOut Yeah, makes sense. You have to have an adult around, instead of leaving them in the shop alone. I mean, its such a huge responsibility and way above their pay-grade. Nevertheless, its not right to do so in terms of their safety.
When I was younger I worked as a cashier at a grocery store for a few months. First week I'm on the job, a shady looking dude comes up with maybe $20 worth of items, hands me a $100 bill, then as I'm about to give him change, he starts giving me other bills and requesting different bills etc. At the time I didn't know he was trying to scam me (this is apparently a common scam that people run on cashiers) but after a couple minutes I give him what he wants and he leaves. A few minutes later a manager comes up and checks my till because he saw what the guy was doing on the camera. Plot twist: I wasn't missing any money because the scammer chose the one cashier that was majoring in Math :P I was a bit nervous while the manager was counting my till though.
My school was doing a sausage sizzle and the teacher in charge told us when handling money to be careful, as their are some sick people in the world who will give you a ten, and insist they gave a twenty, so to always hold it before giving change.
1:59 that reminds me of the time my dad tried to send my mom a video explaining how "amazing" she was in bed, but accidentally sent it to his church group chat. He came to me frantically explaining that he sent it to the wrong people, and wanted me to delete it, but I had to explain to him that you can't delete texts once they're sent out lmao
Me too, he basically got fired because the Palladium, an expensive as fuck material, was stored incorrectly. If it costs 100K per roll, you shouldn't be in a position to cause an accident costing 1 million plus!
Who should have been fired is the person in charge of security. There should be no possibility that "accidentally" the company's most valuable assets will be ruined by a tap from any employee. The rolls should have been packaged in anti-turning containers. And the procedure for using them should be that the material cannot be used until it is in the machine. This is a clear design and prevention error.
It really sounds like something is missing from that story. I've worked in places with valuable storage like that and generally accidents don't result in people getting fired. If you didn't follow procedure and THEN there was an accident - that's a different story.
I worked at a factory that produced ketchup, mayo and all kinds of dressings. I should make a special type of mustard dressing that required mustard from an external tank (normally all stuff are pumped into the machines for mixing via a ton of tubes, but not this one). I got the forklift, grabbed the mustard tank and drove it back to the machine, plugged an external pump onto the tank and began pumping into the machine. After several hours I realized: "Wait a minute.....the code on the tank isn't the right one...this code is from the cleaning department....!!" - I had been pumping oxonia (disenfectant) into the dressing. More than 25 tons of dressing to go into the sewer.....and the machine plus all the tubing system needed severe cleaning. That cost the company more than $75,000 - and it cost me the job.
3 weeks into my current job I ducked up my till by like $900 and I was sure I was screwed. Turned out mgmt didn't explain everything to me properly and it was easily fixed. Nothing happened but I was sure it was over lol
Sames happened to me just started working at a local shop and on the first week I was about £500 down on the tills was super scared as it had to be investaged because they thought I was stealing it, nope turns out one of the other people there were taking money out my till to put in the safe without declaring it on the computer for sure thought I was a goner
10:12 xD Reminds me how i once threw one of a pair of slippers into my brother's nuts.He screamed,threw it back at me,i somehow hit it with my hand and it went back at him and hit him in the nuts again
Boss went to change a light socket, I was supposed to flip the breaker... I didn’t... he got shocked, thought I was going to be fired for sure, a week later, different house I flipped the breaker to change light sockets... boss flipped it on, my boss is mean but fair ._.
That's attempted homicide, sounds like. Flipping a breaker when someone's working on electrics is dangerous. Accidentally leaving it on is one thing, turning it back on after it was off while someone is working on it is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Dented palladium is still palladium. In comparison the cost of reforming it back to the proper rolled up strip is manageable. . + even then, it doesn't sound like this place had a very thoughtful storage place for these rolls. 100.000 a pop for something that can and will be moved by hand merits some consideration
It was my first day as foreman in an arctic production facility when I accidentally loosened the reigns on Donner and Blixen causing the sleigh to swoop too low and run over someone's grandmother....
My dad works as a sales rep for a plastics company up here in the Midwest that has locations across the U.S. and worldwide. When he was in his friend's office listening to his friend leave a voicemail for one of their other sales reps down in Kentucky, his friend had hung up the phone, then my dad started talking about one of the girls that works at that branch, more specifically about her "rack." Following an extensive conversation about that, my dad and his friend had heard the phone beep. His friend had never really hung up the phone, my dad then rushed to his desk and called the Kentucky sales rep about this, the guy was laughing his ass off at this point and had agreed with my dad. Very close call for Papa Pkfirematt.
I didn't witness it, but my husband witness that happened after the incident. My husband is in maintenance at a warehouse. One of the maintenance guys followed one of the cleaning ladies to part of the building that has bad camera coverage. He then proceeded to get her attention and pull his junk out in front of her. He didn't get the response he thought and immediately left the area. A few minutes later one of the other cleaning ladies approached him to get the name off of his id badge. He booked it to the maintenance shop where my husband was. The guy was in a panic. He asked my husband where their boss was. Finally the boss came(he hadn't heard about the issue yet). The guy yells "I'm done, I don't want to work here anymore" so the boss drives him to the front on the work gold cart and watches him leave. Yeah... He knew he was about to get busted.
For the Palladium one. Yes, Palladium is expensive, but manufacturing costs should be the same as any other metal. Even if the rolls were damaged none of the Palladium was lost, so it wouldn’t be an expensive fix.
@@BarnacleBoy42069 Either that or this is the most reckless medical device manufacturing facility ever, and if it wasn't the cascade that ruined them, the inevitable recalls and lawsuits would.
Guys Palladium is ridiculously valuable and it's a heavy metal (meaning VERY TOXIC). The manufacturing process is CERTAINLY not the same. Generally rolls of it are not solid - it's a roll of extremely thin sheet of palladium so other manufacturers can cut it into very small amounts to use to cut down on per unit cost. So if you drop a roll of it - it completely ruins the roll and has to be completely reworked - which is very expensive.
The time I walked out after waiting over 7 hours for my break on and 8 hour shift without saying a word during a lunch rush. tbh not that big of a deal to go without a break but the events leading up to the walk out and the fact that the acting manager that day let everyone else who started later than me go on breaks and wasn't letting me go on break because he didn't Iike me was the reason. (A lot of other shit happened at that job that was 100% not legal) I was sitting in the parking lot crying and eating my food when I realised I really fucking needed that job even if it was shitty and abusive, but I was totally going to be fired if I went back into the restaurant because I guess technically quit by walking out. I ended up going back in over and hour later and resumed my position like nothing had happened and the manager acted like it didn't happen either lmao I think he was more worried about getting in shit for the break thing if he ever had to explain why I walked out. So we pretended it never happened and I quit 4 months later cause another manager went on a racist rant and when I reported it I was told to shut up soooooo yeah not the best job.
So I worked at a summer camp with kids ages K-6th grade & up. One of the teachers wasn't returning to her classroom during the switch hour and I had 5th grade. She had 1st. So another teacher left me with her kids so she could go find her. I had a room of roughly 25 5th graders and 20 1st graders running around (let me add we were 5 teachers understaffed at the time). As I was trying to get them all to stop and calm down to play a distraction game one 1st grader pushed another and she fell, hitting her face on a door. Blood was everywhere. She ran to me. Blood got all over my arms (we had not been trained yet in CPR so all of my reactions were stupid). I told a semi responsible 5th grader to run to my classroom for paper towels and told another one to get a teacher. Thankfully help came. I was convinced I'd lose my job since a child got hurt under my care. Thankfully it was just a slap on the wrist and a scolding that I shouldn't get blood on myself. Also, my coteacher scolded the 5th graders for being crazy instead of setting a good example and helping calm the younger children while I had to clean the blood off of myself and off of the floor. I cried a lot after work.
I got really drunk and high and as a result, crashed my truck. So i started walking🚶 to work(or rather my boss's house to get a ride with as he didnt live far) Nd told him it was in the shop for transmission issues. He gave me a ride home one day and i didnt have the nerve to tell him the truth I oddly asked him to drop me off on the corner, but he insisted he come.In the driveway and say hello to my family. We made it there and we just both looked at my truck with 2 broken doors no driver side window, and messed up tires. Oops...He just asked me if i was ok and even helped me get another car as long as went to rehab....I still have this job
I started my first job 2 months ago. My job is to clean the office floor, tables computers, windows and whatnot. People are just working at their desks while I'm cleaning. It can be pretty annoying sometimes, because I have to ask them to get up, so that I can clean everything properly. There was this one day, where everyone was off on vacation. I went in as usual, but I hadn't slept that day, and was really fucking tired. I thought that it was pretty neat, since I had the office all to myself and I could finally clean without being interrupted. The thing is, I was immensely tired, so I sat on the office chairs and stared at the coffee machine for a good 20 minutes and dozed off :'). I really wanted some coffee but I couldn't figure out how to use it, so I pressed a lot of buttons. I was also glancing at someone's (work phone) text messages when notifications popped up. That's when I realised the hidden camera in the office. I want to quit :)
There was this guy on the company who came despite being drunk, he was throwing the middle finger to everybody then was asked to leave and he still gave the middle finger, by the next morning he showed up and asked for forgiveness and to no ones surprise he was already fired when he was asked to leave. He worked for the company for 17 years
It was my second week in a new private nanny position for three young children. I was texting the mother while simultaneously texting my best friend about the type of bong she should purchase. I went online and found an example, took a screenshot and sent it over to my friend. About two hours later I discovered I had sent it to the mother, my employer, instead of my friend. I felt instantly sick to my stomach and thought for sure I’d get fired. She came home and said her and her friends at work had a laugh about it during their lunch hour. Just typing this story out makes my body tremble with the fear I felt that day.
It was my first job and I was INSANELY naive. I was basically raised under a rock and "programmed" to do whatever someone in an authority position said to do, no questions asked. Basically prime real estate for a scam. I worked at a small pizza shop so that night it was just me and one other employee who had been there only a few months (I had been there maybe 9 months). It was very busy in the store at the time when I received a phone call from someone claiming to work at a bank. He let me know he was VERY frustrated at the situation he was in and had worked on it for a very long time (which for me means they might be grumpy so I should help them as best as they could so they don't yell at me -__-). He said that someone who had paid about 8 dollars for something ended up getting charged 80 by his bank. He told me they were coming in for a refund and he gave me a code that was supposed to refund the money I gave away. Me being a people pleaser (to a fault) I agree and when the guy comes in I take about 70 dollars from the register and just hand it to him. When I got home that night I started getting nervous that maybe something was up. My fears were confirmed the next day when the manager called to chew me out. Luckily I was only suspended for a week but it was such a humiliating experience. The worst part was that the manager thought I was in on it and she also told everyone at the store that I cried on the phone when she suspended me. Like geez I'm just a naive idiot but I'm not a criminal. And I waited until AFTER I hung up to start crying -___-
I worked for Hollywood video back when I was 21. I was the shift manager and opened every Tuesday when the new movies came out to rent. Due to it being slow until the evening when I got off work I picked up the habit of prank calling the Blockbusters across the street at 12:30p on speaker every Tuesday to entertain my coworkers and customers who were in the store. Word started getting around and started getting busy at lunch time from customers coming in to hear the prank call and then rent a new movie. Then my boss found out and since it was against company policy to play on the phone I was sure I was fired. My boss looked at the boost in numbers on Tuesday mornings when I worked and told me to keep it up.
My previous job I got fired over a harmless joke. During that week I had been focusing on cleaning the loading bay in the back when I had free time, which was where one of my co-workers worked. One day she comes and asks me if I can do her a favor. I respond "Nothing sexual is it?" She laughs I laugh, and she tells me what the favor was which was to get a box in this storage area. Next day in the morning before the truck arrives I'm finishing up the week long mini-project I had going with a manager friend and he asks about the sexual thing I said to her. For a second I had no idea what he was talking about since it was such a small thing, but then I learned she had went to management about it and blown it way out of proportion. That same day the regional manager was in and I was fired over that. I found out later that the regional manager saw the loading bay and was extremely impressed by the job done, and wanted to talk to the person that did it. The store manager said to him: "The guy you just fired." Tl;dr: I got fired over responding to a favor with: "Nothing sexual is it?"
you can't blame them, she could sue them. it is better for them to be on the safe side. regardless of how small this was, if any thing else happens to her she would bring this indecent and claim that they allowed toxic work environment.
@@jessinq702 Well he probably wouldn't say it to a guy coworker or a manager, so the issue of her not being respected there is plausible. He could have just been the one who broke the camel's back. I don't know, but he *did* get fired over it.
Just don’t ever make sexual jokes like that in the work place. She probably laughed because she didn’t know how else to respond to the awkardness of that question. The only time jokes like these are okay is if you and the person are familiarized with each other and know that those jokes are okay with each other
I don't usually care to write stories about this, but I work as an IT Specialist. I left my locker next to my desk for the day with about $20,000 worth of laptops in it unlocked with the key inside of it. Got into work the next day and they were all gone. I told my boss and my coworkers came forward and said they took it to teach me a lesson about leaving my things unlocked. A year later and I still compulsively tug my cabinet and locker doors to make sure they're locked before I clock out.
I worked at a clothing store and it wasn’t ever busy so it’s just 2 people working at a time. once we’re done with the daily tasks we sit in back on our phones or doing whatever till we see a customer come in. One of my best friend got the job with me and on shifts together we take turns going to buy pizza or McDonald. It was my turn to buy the pizza. She always texts me before I get back if customer are in the store because I like to shout stuff when I get back. She didn’t text this time so walk in like I GOT THE GOOD GOOD SHIT!! No answer. I go in the back and see a lady I’ve never met before and my friends like “hey this is the district manager....” I freeze only my eyes move to scan the room and I see my friends laptop open with Netflix on. Store manager calls before we close and she’s apologizing non stop saying she forgot to tell us that the DM was stopping by and that she’s been told to fire us. We didn’t get to have anymore pizza party’s after that :(
Buddy of mine got a new job at a garage. Repaired a customers car and took it to the Highway to test it. Took over another car without looking in the rear mirror, caused an accident with a Police car, totaled the customers car. Boss was not happy but did not fire him.
i once threw my RF gun into a cardboard compactor(i had my RF gun sitting in a box for some reason) started it and walked away only to wonder where is my gun? i realized what i had done then i ran back to the compactor cut the power to it then i jumped and was happy to see it was fine.
You committed a bigger infraction to rectify the smaller infraction, which more than likely wouldn't have got you into any disciplinary trouble, yea you're full of bright ideas.
@@starforcestelar Yeah, where I work if you're caught so much as putting your hand into the compactor then you're instantly terminated. They make it abundantly clear that if you ever jam it or anything then just leave a sign up (so no one makes it worse) and walk away.
@@starforcestelarThat is incredibly unsafe. To the point where your manager would have lost his or her job had it been seen and heard by someone above them.
I work as a Daycare assistant and I have a coworker who just hates me for some unknown reason. She's snappy at me and gives me the cold shoulder all the time. Once, it was just me and her, but no other kids came in that day, and I texted my Mom, "All's quiet. (Coworker's name)'s keeping the atmosphere REALLY tense and quiet. At least I'm getting paid to sit here, right?" Once I'd sent it, I realized I sent that to MY BOSS by accident! I quickly sent an apology text. She called my coworker and I think she told her what I'd said about her, and since there were no kids I think she told us to disinfect each. and. every. toy. in. the. room. My coworker just sat there and left me bumbling around on the floor wiping the toys. I hate my coworker.
I mean... I wouldn't call it one of our biggest problems, but yeah, it sucks. When people don't trust kids, it makes me wonder what the hell them and their friends were doing at that age. Like... did that investor steal as a teen and now thinks everyone does?
@@Marispider My dad was a pretty terrible kid, and basically tried to tell me that I would eventually become a super rebellious crap-sack for a good seven years of my life. He told me that I would be telling them I hated them by the time I was 13. Believe it or not, I'm 17 now still hold a healthy, respect and trust driven relationship with my parents, and I have never once said or believed I hated them. Younger memories tend to give people the impression that society for them was society as a whole, I guess. You and all of your friends did it, so why wouldn't your kid do it? It's annoying to have so little expected of me, but I think he indirectly led me to avoid becoming what he expected me to. I've always been willing to follow the rules and do things for other people before focusing on myself, so the fact that he was so sure that I would do something so out of character for me just drove me to be better than that.
Go to somewhat socialist country's and realize it's worse but somehow better ( the workers gets fair hours at a good pace. No real questions asked when materials are gone etc.. buut everyone that pays taxes has to pay for the bs..)
One thing I learned from quitting my job is when you print up your two weeks notice don't roll it up like a scroll and tie a ribbon on it your manager will think there being invited to a party Apparently I was a good worker because when I go to the mall and one of my old managers sees me they ask when I'm coming back to work it's been almost a year since I've quit guys
Im sure the teenagers could have sued or something because investor clearly stated that because of their age hes going to fire them which i cant imagine is legal
I started my first job... Was sent in to replace guy loading boxes. My job had all types of vendor boxes, light big boxes and 60lb small boxes and some boxes like 10ft long... Anyways it appeared to be a backorder of light weight crate boxes that were stacked to the ceiling in 50' trailer. I Proceed to build wall nice and neat as I started. I toss one up and it Cascades the whole wall. The wall crashes. Next thing I know is big boss looking in...whom earlier I watched asked for another's time badge earlier that day. (Place has many temps and at the time didn't deal with the least bit of nonsense, behavior, job performance, attendance issues). I thought I'd be fired... As it turns out guy loading before me was known for terrible stacking, only when he got alike boxes did he build a wall to cover his mess.
Ok so heres one I have. My uncle offered me a job at his work in a recreational camp. All I had to do was drive around with him and make sure I followed every order I was given. Well one day he told me to get the golf kart from the shed and pick him up. So I go and get it and as I'm backing up I hit his truck and destroy one of his backlights. Scared and panicking I just hurry up and take the kart to him. I didn't tell him about it and I just kept on with my day. After work is done he finds out about it and I never worked over there again.
I used to work at Domino's as one of the first e-bike delivery boys. I was 13. The assistant manager didn't like me because I was different (I was and am still a heavy metal enthousiast with longhair and the lot). One day was supposed to work, but my parents were in a very heated divorce and my dad decided to drop me off at my mother's for no apparent reason. She lived at the other end of town and it would've taken me my whole 3 hour shift to get there. The assistant manager called me on my one way phone (I couldn't call, only be called) and said that I had to come into work with signed paperwork that he knew I lost weeks ago or I'd be fired. I paniced and hung up, started screaming at my mother because I was under the impression that my parents were ruining everything for me. I applied for a job there again 2 to 3 years later, and explained the situation. Apparently they had a new assistant manager now that was a really nice guy and he called the owner who said that the old assistant manager was fired because he would pull pranks like these all the time. He was not at all angry and I was very welcome to come work there again. Stopped coming to work about 5 months in due to emotional stress and depression. They weren't happy about it, but they did understand and they accepted my apology. I go there once in a while to order a pizza and have a chat with my old co-workers.
Looking at it from the other side. I used to be a Door Canvassing Manager for a Home Improvement Sales company. One day, one of my team comes to me and tells me he'd seen on of the newer guys taking peoples Amazon packages off of doorsteps and stealing the contents. I went straight to my manager, the Branch Sales Manager, to talk about the best way to fire him. My manager tells me "You can't fire him. If you fire door to door canvassers for being criminals or having criminal records, you'd have no one left." Two weeks later, the guy who had been stealing had gotten annoyed with another guy in my team who had pretty severe Aspergers and punched him square in the face. I fired him then, only to find out days later that my manager had immediately re-hired him the next day to work as a solo door to door canvasser... All in all, I'm pretty happy I'm not in direct in-home sales any more. It truly seems to attract the most sociopathic people.
I work for a shipping company My buddy and I are yard spotters So there is always a camera on me We were goofing off one day and I flipped him off (We've been friends for years and I'm standing up at his wedding later this year) My immediate manager comes to tell me that 'rude gestures' is a firable offense and I need to go talk to our SENIOR manager. I walk into his office 100% sure he was going to take my ID I knock and he looks up from hos paperwork and goes "WHATS UP, FINGER MAN" He had seen us goofing around and knew it would be on camera He just thought it was funny but told us both to not do that kinda stuff where the camera can see it
I'm sitting in the school bathroom waiting out my PE period. Wish me luck! Update: I did it! It worked! It was winter conditioning so we run an excessive amount in a tiny amount of time.
Got let go from 3 jobs in 6 months, and it was doing what I was passionate about. Thanks to all the mental disorders I had and the psychiatrist piling on meds to really make it easy to cause accidents from being so wacked on the meds
I accidentally threw a knife parallel down the line and almost stabbed both my boss and his wife who where working it with me at Subway. Twice. Three years later and they still say I'm their best/favourite employee 😂🤷♀️
I smashed the side of my boss's F350 into a pole. I thought I would be fired because I had already rammed a wood chipper into the F250 and backed into a fire hydrant with the Toyota. I didn't get fired because one of my coworkers knocked like 70% of the dent out before my boss saw it. I got a 3 day suspension instead lol
I had to drive a truck for the first time on the job. Kind of nervous because well it was big and never driven anything bigger than a car before. Truck was loaded up and we left to get to the site. Had to make a sharp turn from the lot to get on the (narrow) road. Had a buddy poke his head out the window because it was a narrow turn, there was a pole there somewhere and I couldn't see shit as I wasn't used to the size of a truck. He says its fine, nothing in the way and sits back down. I make the turn. Suddenly, loud noise and abrupt stop. Shit. Though I hit the pole, might have caused more than a scratch to the truck, ok this is bad. Got out. But it wasn't a pole. It was the boss's brand new BMW.
I worked at a bed and appliance store and they have really old machines, like really old and no return desk so I had to do it, mind you this is like 8 months ago, and that means I unboxed things, did cash, cleaned and did returns...I was basically one person labelled as a cashier working 3 different jobs. I had 7 people trying to tell me how to do the same thing but in different ways and telling me that their way was right. Now what you should know is I was only working maybe once a week for 4 hours and each week a new sale was on but it required me to punch in a 20 button sequence that I would only use for 4 hours that week. It was frustrating and with my ADHD basically impossible. Well, one day, thanksgiving mind you, I missed a warning on the green cash screen telling me I was full and needed to have the cash taken by a floor manager to the safe. No one told me what the warning stood for and I didn't know it existed. Still got fired. My first job lasted 1 month and 3 weeks...since then I've been unable to find work (its basically impossible in my town unless you know someone and what do you know my best friends mom was a manager there so that's how i got it in the first place)
Not being fired but I work in a college. One of our students came running to our help desk panicking asking us if we could undo an email she had sent. She had written an incredibly personal attack against a lecturer and accidentally sent it to the lecturer... oops. Lecturer walked past at that exact moment and overheard her asking for the email to be un-sent and very angrily said 'don't bother, come with me we are going to talk'. I haven't seen the student since so I don't know if she's been kicked off the course or is just hiding for a while, poor kid. Also nearly got fired from my bar job for shouting 'I can hear you, I'm not fucking deaf. Learn a bit of patience and I'll deal with you soon' to a customer who wouldn't stop barking demands at me. I hated her and she hated me so it was only a matter of time before I snapped at her Then was scared I was going to be fired from a book shop job for turning up still drunk from the night before... my manager just laughed and offered me whisky that he had in his office to stop a hangover coming on while I was still at work
I remember working as a Cashier at a Convention one time So one dude was ordering a shirt and a badge. We had loads of badges so I'm like "Eh sure, we have it" and he made the purchase before I got out the items Turns out we didnt have any of the type of badge he requested despite that no one else ordered it and I was sure we had a full stock So I had to get a manager and he spent the next 30 minutes tryna refund the guy to the point where 2 managers had to work on it. I was fully expected to be told to GTFO. (turned out nothing happened and it was all resolved in 5 minutes)
Great business strategy! Fire all the young people that have kept the place booming, and hire old farts that can't keep up! No wonder the golf course went under.
I was working at Macdonald's at the time. I mixed the seasalt and caramel for the McFlurries up... A lot of people got the wrong McFlurries. I also dropped like 4 things on my first day and accidentally hit a customer with a broom and made a kid cry because we were out of balloons. Needless to say, I didn't work there for very long
When I was 19 I still didn’t have my license and I just got hired at a golf course. Well to drive around we didn’t use regular golf carts instead we had utility carts which were the same except they had beefer tires a bed like a pickup truck in the back and headlights. Well my first day there I was told to follow my coworker who was training me around in one of the carts. Well I wasn’t paying attention and i heading right towards a tree, instead of braking I stepped on the gas and the left tire hit a tree and snapped the tierod. In other words the left tire wasn’t facing the same direction as the other, my boss was pissed at me. Later that day my friend let me drive a cart that was stick shift but this cart had bad brakes, so to my vague knowledge of knowing how to drive in general and how much pressure I should apply, I didn’t apply enough and ended up crashing into a water cooler, trash can and eventually a tree, thank god my coworker didn’t tell on me, I probably would’ve been fired
I actually had a similar story, except it ended with me accidentally hitting a golf ball cleaner and then stopping it while it was on top of my brother.
Haha yea I remember at the golf course kitchen I worked at we would take the kitchen garbage, slap it on back of a cart, and rip off across the backroad of the course to drop it off in some industrial garbage bins. The carts were governed but we used to drift around corners and whip around the gravel as fast as we could. One time some golfers saw us driving like madmen and reported us. We didn’t get fired, but got a pretty stern talking to. I was probably 15. It was fun while it lasted.
*My moment was when I worked at DQ and I was learning to make a blizzard with my boss guiding me, but didnt hold on tight enough. So next thing we know we're both covered in chocolate pecan blizzard, ice cream everywhere.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WORE THE BLIZZARDS BEFORE I*
dropped rag while wiping tables and chairs off, didn’t realize you weren’t supposed to continue using rag. (i’m an idiot i’m sorry) someone waiting for food saw me do this, filmed it and posted it on snapchat (my sister saw it on the public story), and also called my manager. my coworkers heard and calmed me down, i didn’t lose my job thank god (and i had to go rewipe all the tables and chairs down with a new rag)
My story: So I heard I should act like I'm a caregiver in charge of taking care of myself... I then proceeded to drink far too much chocolate milk, avoid responsibility, and watch hentai instead of weightlift. I also literally fell on my butt several times and it hurt. I fired myself.
Od worked at a small company for around 5 years, the day I was fired I slept well and arrived early. I'd set up my workstation like normal and took my routine 5 minutes smoke before I jumped into it. When I returned and sat down to get started my line manager walked in...stood there for a moment....then said "could you come with me a second" I walked in the room and saw my manager, the Secretary (always a witness) and my line manager sat at the table next to each other. I sat down and instantly let slip "sooooooo, is it normal to have a bad feeling right now" My manager responded "yes"
That last one is the definition of companies only wanting to hire people with X years of experience instead of accepting fresh graduates and giving it a go.
@@Michelrs I'm not sure if they're joking or serious. I know a lot of places will fire employees who don't do what armed robbers tell them. Basically, insurance covers any money loss they incur, but if you're injured because you fight the robber, now they have to cover your medical expenses, and that's expensive. They'd rather lose a few thousand dollars (which they'll get back later) than have an employee get injured. Some managers do genuinely care about your well being, but corporate doesn't know you, they care more about the dollars.
I work in a hospital and we have phones there to be able to call nurses/kitchen/etc. The FIRST day I was able to deliver to patients (I was 16 in the dietary as a food aide), I DROPPED the phone down the elevator (the doors were thick af which meant the gap between the floor and the elevator was spacious) and I honestly thought I was done. My boss didn’t believe me when I first told him, then thought it was hilarious. I’m still teased about it.

Years (20+) ago, I was at the Vets with my dog for his yearly vaccination . The place was busy. A lady comes out of the back screaming and crying inconsolably. Someone had euthanized the wrong animal...
I left and found a new vets office, as did every pet owner there. Word spread and the place was closed within 2 weeks.
Now that right there is a slam-dunk lawsuit just waiting to happen. Also, fuck whoever didn't check which animal was to be euthanized, fuck them with a razorblade-covered pole.
As someone who fairly recently lost their pet via euthanasia, it’s already hard enough to do when there’s no other choice.
If it were me/my pet that suffered from that mistake, there wouldn’t BE a business left to close down.
Blue Falcons Suck I didn’t need to see that
Shit like this is how you get your door kicked in and lit up with a 249.

The 1 where the rolls fell and cost a million dollars damage, if they are so valuable, why the hell are you stacking them in such a way an accident like this can happen? Thats on the company, not the employee.
That was my first thought. Such shitty resource management on the companies part. The employees can only do so much with what they're provided with.
Goes to show they value their products far far more than their employees too
The metal didn't get destroyed, just it's form. Completely salvageable. It'd just take time.
It's still a significant loss on the companies part to have to pay for it to be produced again, but I do see what you mean.
It's a valuable resource with an enormous loss value and they should set up at least some logical protection of such expensive assets
Accidents happen. You have to plan around that
I once threw away 3,000,000 dollars worth of product at my work. Granted it was meant to be tossed but the feeling of chucking dozens of mortgages into a dumpster and watching the product explode is one of the best feelings I've had.
That last one was sweet justice.
I think sometimes high school kids try harder and take jobs more seriously. At that age, the idea of getting fired is unimaginable to many, and they don’t view their jobs as disposable.
Also there's the rather simple concept of different circumstances promoting different skills. Simply said, the older guys were probably garbage at multitasking as they don't do it on a daily basis like many, if not most, people around that age do when it comes to computers.
There's also tech-literacy. Teens and people in general who grew up with all sorts of technology are likely way easier to train for using said things as they have experience learning and using many programs and devices, some of which might resemble the subject in UI.
Darca1n - I think technology is a big factor. I even saw it become an issue for people who were in their late 40s when I was in my late 20s.
I wouldn’t want to assume an older person, whether they’re 30 or 80, couldn’t do the job. Age discrimination against older people is a huge issue.
I just love the sweet justice that the guy who was so sure of his prejudices managed to pick people who proved it so wrong.
Oh I'm not saying older people are incapable of handling technology, I'm sure there's elderly people who are absolute gods when it comes to technology and handling it, it just isn't as common with the older generations as they didn't grow up with much use of technology of that sort and thus it's something they have to learn while likely already adults.
Some people are very bad at learning when they're adults, for whatever reason.
I didn't, but then again, i struggled with a mild form of depression.

Several years ago I started my first job at McDonald's. 3 weeks in, we got slammed by 3 busses of Basketball players. I was asked to run food for all to go orders while the more experienced cashier took care of the rush. I had quite a large order (4 large bags) in my arms rushing out the door. I dropped it (like 45 dollars worth of food). It was my first big screw up. I was in tears, until the owner put her hand on my shoulder to tell me it was okay. She really helped my self esteem that day, and assured me I'd get better.

One night as usual I hopped into the freezer with my hose ready to blast off the ice. A couple minutes in I heard the door close.... and lock. Yeah I forgot to lockout/tagout the freezer, and my coworker somehow did not see my hose sticking out the door before closing it and turning on the freezer. Then it hit me..... I shouldn't have started for another hour, as production was still finishing up. I was supposed to help disassemble the breader first. So here I am yelling over the loud freezer, which was negative 15 degrees with high speed fans. 30 minutes later I am rescued when a lead noticed my hose in the door. My smock and body suit were frozen solid, and I was very close to hypothermia. Needless to say me and the employee that closed the door were fired for disobeying lockout tag out within our probation period. It was a blessing in disguise, as just 2 days later I got a call back from my current employer and he asked me to start asap.

That last one always confuses me. You'd think an investor would see how well the place was running with the current staff and not try to fuck it up. I've seen it happen a couple of times and it never ends well for them.
A lot of people who think they're hot shit investors will buy a place then think they immediately know how to run it better - so they change everything. A lot of those people don't remain investors for long.

Just to add, this was very similar to a manager I once had. Thankfully he left for a position closer to home. But at the time I'd been working at the store about a year, so even though I was just a cashier, I knew the store well. Well he gets hired and immediately tries to manage the store exactly like the last one he worked at. Regardless of how we running things, he was the manager with 5 years experience and got paid more, so his ideas were clearly superior. He would also directly contradict the store manager so much that eventually when we walked in we asked if we were following Manager A's rules or Manager B's rules today. At first I tried to politely explain things - like don't send half of the cashiers to work on stuff in the backroom because in 5 minutes we'll get the after lunch rush and be swamped. His favorite response was "we'll see" with a little smug nod. And of course we get backed up with lines and I'd very loudly call all the cashiers back up front (to make sure he heard). Some real salt in the wound was when the front end supervisor got written up because we had a visitor from corporate who saw the lines backed up (because this manager had yet again sent some cashiers to work on projects), and it was the front end supervisors job to make sure the lines remained a reasonable length. Turns out the supervisor had no clue where the cashiers were, the manager never told her anything. And of course he didn't do the decent thing and take responsibility in front of corporate, nope he just stood there and agreed she needed to pay more attention.
He also habitually told customers that he would personally take care of things and as soon as the customer was out of ear shot he'd pawn off whatever request he promised onto someone else. Like the time he sold 5 pieces of furniture, said he'd bring it all to the back, wrap it in plastic wrap (which wasn't something we typically did but we don't have bubble wrap and they were concerned about the furniture getting scratched in the back of the truck) and help load it all when they returned in an hour. As soon as they paid and left, he called someone out of the backroom, barked the orders and said he couldn't help because he had to finish up some paperwork before leaving in 30 minutes. He always tried to call the same guy too, because he did a good job. Just once I wanted him to catastrophically mess up so the manager would have egg on his face and try to explain to the customer why it went wrong.

@@AshtheDragon-l4e Which seems antithetical to their situation. One who has the money to invest generally doesn't have lower intelligence.
There's a lot more to running s business than that, and in retail, the margins are so slim that most stores are barely turning a profit.
I dropped my knife while on a ladder, and it almost landed on a customer. The customer didnt care, but if they told anyone that would have been it for me
why were you using a knife on a ladder?
What is your profession that you are on a ladder with a knife, and why does a customer stand next to you and why wouldn’t he care.
@@msi4887 Might've been a putty knife or something similar. I know you can also spread stucco with a knife to give a wave effect instead of using a glorified Spackle gun, though it's more expensive both in terms of man hours required as well as materials used.
@KONO DIO DA Putty knives typically aren't all that sharp, their entire job is to cut, spread, and shape putty, stucco, Spackle, and in some cases concrete that hasn't set yet. Getting hit by the cutting end'll hurt, sure, but unlike a butter knife, the blades of putty knives actually are weak like the materials they work with. I could bend one with my bare hands, and I'm a scrawny weakling.
@KONO DIO DA Unless they have kitchens that employ and accommodate little people, that's my best bet.
I work at a Jimmy John's in a low-income part of town, full of nothing but trailer trash and a few other businesses. Most of the people are fairly nice, but the few bad apples are REALLY bad. Our store has a policy where we will replace any mistake in a delivery order, no questions asked, but this results in a lot of customers making fake complaints to get free food. One of the worst offenders was a particularly nasty old lady who would make needlessly complex orders and then call to yell at us if even the slightest thing was wrong and demand a new sandwich. Eventually it got so bad that we made a note in our records to triple check her orders every single time. She got wise to this and began outright lying about her order being wrong. I eventually got sick of this and decided to call her out over the phone, telling her I knew for a fact she was lying to me. This prompted her to go absolutely ballistic and start shrieking into her phone so loud that I had to hold the phone away from my ear. She started ranting about how we had no respect for other people's hard earned money all other bullshit. Once she calmed down a little, figuring I was going to get fired anyway so I might as well go out a legend, I began chewing out this old hag and telling her exactly what I thought about her. I told her that her complaints had wasted more of the store's money than all other customers combined, that she had no right to be acting so rude and entitled towards people who were bending over backwards for her on the most arbitrary terms, that our store would likely start saving money by blacklisting her address, and that she was just a generally awful person and nobody liked her. She got very quiet, then said she was going to report me to corporate. I told her that was no skin off my back since I was working a minimum wage job and could probably find a better one anyway with out much trouble, then hung up. I then turned around to see the store owner standing right behind me with tears in his eyes and a huge grin on his face. He told me that was everything he had ever wanted to say to that lady and that I most certainly wasn't fired. The lady never actually reported me, she still orders from us almost a year later, and she doesn't complain at all anymore. Maybe she took my words to heart, who knows?
This is beautiful. I had a guy come in once while I was working at an Einstein's/Caribou place. Him and his sons ordered these sandwiches with a lot on them, then claimed they were wrong after eating half. We agreed to make more, no charge, even though we were being careful about making it. We thought hey, mistakes happen, let's do right by them. I was a little miffed because I noticed they still ate their wrongly made sandwiches but they took their new ones and left, and I thought that was all I would see of them. Done and gone. --But no, they came back the next day. This time they asked for a manager and claimed that their Second sandwiches were also made wrong. I was really pissed now, because I had helped make those sandwiches and checked to make sure all was well with them before they were handed out. I didn't say anything at the time and I regretted it. I was still too timid to call someone out in public, even if I knew these people were scamming us and the manager that day wasn't the same as the day before, so he couldn't have known. After those guys left, a coworker stepped up to say what all of us were thinking and the manager said he'd turn them away if they came back. They never did.

And people say millennials are entitled.... 😒
I've seen many more cases like this from older people than from 20-somethings.
Man, I could totally understand the owner's reaction, because he KNOWS he would get fired if HE said anything, so he was happy to know one of his employees said something for him. Worst thing about being a manager or owner is you have to actually pretend to give a shit about the customer no matter WHO they are, but an employee working minimum wage at the very bottom of the company ladder...the perfect person to have the power to tell a customer off who really deserves it. I guarantee a majority of owners would feel the same way in this situation.

I once had a boss fake a client complaint against me. This was one week before I was due to leave anyway, so I don't know what he was thinking.
A month after I left, the entire staff refused to work with him, because he was such an arsehole. It took another month, but the business owner eventually asked him to leave...then closed the business, divorced his wife and married his girlfriend.
So, a happy ending, I guess.

I had one of these moments. I was sick but my boss ordered me into work anyways ("Come in or you're fired."). No biggy, it was a callcenter job. I would just be sitting infront of a computer all day making calls. Well. Turns out it was worse than I thought, talked to my boss and he insisted that I wasn't that sick. That was when I couldn't hold it in anymore and wound up puking up all over him. Was positive I was going to be fired, this guy was strict as balls and didn't put up with anything. Instead, I got the rest of the week off and he sent me a get well soon card with $50 in it. I think the money was one part apology and one part 'please don't tell HR I made you come in sick'.
Tbh thinking about in some of these cases why bother tiring them because they have learned their mistake and most likely won't make it again but firing them and hiring a new person just means that the new person has a high chance of repeating or doing a massive mistake.
Speaking from experience, a lot of managers really don't have the whole understanding cause and effect thing down.
I guess it sends a message. If you can cause the company a million dollars in damage and not get fired, other employees won't be as careful. It's about setting an example I guess.
Probably company policy a lot of the time and managers don't have a choice.

I had a second job running the front desk at a hotel in the evenings. The owner would always ride me about letting potential customers walk out. They ask how much a room was, I'd look it up and tell them. If it wasn't good enough I was expected to haggle. No thanks. So I was working New Years Eve, single mom comes in with her kids, wanting to have a cool night for them. Explains her financial situation. So I rented her a room for $10, no where near the asking price. Owner took note of it and wasn't pleased, but didn't bring it up to me.

When I was younger I worked as a cashier at a grocery store for a few months. First week I'm on the job, a shady looking dude comes up with maybe $20 worth of items, hands me a $100 bill, then as I'm about to give him change, he starts giving me other bills and requesting different bills etc. At the time I didn't know he was trying to scam me (this is apparently a common scam that people run on cashiers) but after a couple minutes I give him what he wants and he leaves. A few minutes later a manager comes up and checks my till because he saw what the guy was doing on the camera.
Plot twist: I wasn't missing any money because the scammer chose the one cashier that was majoring in Math :P I was a bit nervous while the manager was counting my till though.
One time a cashier game me an extra 10 dollars once and I didn't realize until I got in my car. Hopefully he didn't get fired.

I feel sorry for the Palladium guy. He got fired for an honest accident. It was costly, but Jesus Christ empathy is a thing
Me too, he basically got fired because the Palladium, an expensive as fuck material, was stored incorrectly. If it costs 100K per roll, you shouldn't be in a position to cause an accident costing 1 million plus!
@@jekubfimbulwing5370 exactly! They were probably piled up like logs or some shit... Gravity is a thing people.
If it is that easy to destroy 1 million dollars of goods, then that is a bad design.
Who should have been fired is the person in charge of security.
There should be no possibility that "accidentally" the company's most valuable assets will be ruined by a tap from any employee.
The rolls should have been packaged in anti-turning containers. And the procedure for using them should be that the material cannot be used until it is in the machine.
This is a clear design and prevention error.
It really sounds like something is missing from that story. I've worked in places with valuable storage like that and generally accidents don't result in people getting fired. If you didn't follow procedure and THEN there was an accident - that's a different story.
I worked at a factory that produced ketchup, mayo and all kinds of dressings. I should make a special type of mustard dressing that required mustard from an external tank (normally all stuff are pumped into the machines for mixing via a ton of tubes, but not this one). I got the forklift, grabbed the mustard tank and drove it back to the machine, plugged an external pump onto the tank and began pumping into the machine. After several hours I realized: "Wait a minute.....the code on the tank isn't the right one...this code is from the cleaning department....!!" - I had been pumping oxonia (disenfectant) into the dressing. More than 25 tons of dressing to go into the sewer.....and the machine plus all the tubing system needed severe cleaning. That cost the company more than $75,000 - and it cost me the job.

I didn't witness it, but my husband witness that happened after the incident. My husband is in maintenance at a warehouse. One of the maintenance guys followed one of the cleaning ladies to part of the building that has bad camera coverage. He then proceeded to get her attention and pull his junk out in front of her. He didn't get the response he thought and immediately left the area. A few minutes later one of the other cleaning ladies approached him to get the name off of his id badge. He booked it to the maintenance shop where my husband was. The guy was in a panic. He asked my husband where their boss was. Finally the boss came(he hadn't heard about the issue yet). The guy yells "I'm done, I don't want to work here anymore" so the boss drives him to the front on the work gold cart and watches him leave. Yeah... He knew he was about to get busted.
For the Palladium one. Yes, Palladium is expensive, but manufacturing costs should be the same as any other metal. Even if the rolls were damaged none of the Palladium was lost, so it wouldn’t be an expensive fix.
Thats what i was thinking. Those rolls cant be THAT fragile or else they wouldnt just be sitting on shelves.
@@BarnacleBoy42069 Either that or this is the most reckless medical device manufacturing facility ever, and if it wasn't the cascade that ruined them, the inevitable recalls and lawsuits would.
Guys Palladium is ridiculously valuable and it's a heavy metal (meaning VERY TOXIC). The manufacturing process is CERTAINLY not the same. Generally rolls of it are not solid - it's a roll of extremely thin sheet of palladium so other manufacturers can cut it into very small amounts to use to cut down on per unit cost. So if you drop a roll of it - it completely ruins the roll and has to be completely reworked - which is very expensive.
@@danlorett2184 Oh, it's toxic, too, and SHOULDN'T BE TOUCHED BY HUMAN HANDS? I reiterate: this company must be stupid beyond redemption.
Dan Lorett, palladium is not “ Very toxic” it’s barely toxic. Only toxic by Ingesting high amounts. Now Palladium compounds are deadly.
The time I walked out after waiting over 7 hours for my break on and 8 hour shift without saying a word during a lunch rush. tbh not that big of a deal to go without a break but the events leading up to the walk out and the fact that the acting manager that day let everyone else who started later than me go on breaks and wasn't letting me go on break because he didn't Iike me was the reason. (A lot of other shit happened at that job that was 100% not legal) I was sitting in the parking lot crying and eating my food when I realised I really fucking needed that job even if it was shitty and abusive, but I was totally going to be fired if I went back into the restaurant because I guess technically quit by walking out. I ended up going back in over and hour later and resumed my position like nothing had happened and the manager acted like it didn't happen either lmao I think he was more worried about getting in shit for the break thing if he ever had to explain why I walked out. So we pretended it never happened and I quit 4 months later cause another manager went on a racist rant and when I reported it I was told to shut up soooooo yeah not the best job.
That sucks. I hope you found a better job that you can enjoy.

So I worked at a summer camp with kids ages K-6th grade & up. One of the teachers wasn't returning to her classroom during the switch hour and I had 5th grade. She had 1st. So another teacher left me with her kids so she could go find her. I had a room of roughly 25 5th graders and 20 1st graders running around (let me add we were 5 teachers understaffed at the time). As I was trying to get them all to stop and calm down to play a distraction game one 1st grader pushed another and she fell, hitting her face on a door. Blood was everywhere. She ran to me. Blood got all over my arms (we had not been trained yet in CPR so all of my reactions were stupid). I told a semi responsible 5th grader to run to my classroom for paper towels and told another one to get a teacher. Thankfully help came. I was convinced I'd lose my job since a child got hurt under my care. Thankfully it was just a slap on the wrist and a scolding that I shouldn't get blood on myself. Also, my coteacher scolded the 5th graders for being crazy instead of setting a good example and helping calm the younger children while I had to clean the blood off of myself and off of the floor. I cried a lot after work.

I started my first job 2 months ago. My job is to clean the office floor, tables computers, windows and whatnot. People are just working at their desks while I'm cleaning. It can be pretty annoying sometimes, because I have to ask them to get up, so that I can clean everything properly.
There was this one day, where everyone was off on vacation. I went in as usual, but I hadn't slept that day, and was really fucking tired. I thought that it was pretty neat, since I had the office all to myself and I could finally clean without being interrupted. The thing is, I was immensely tired, so I sat on the office chairs and stared at the coffee machine for a good 20 minutes and dozed off :'). I really wanted some coffee but I couldn't figure out how to use it, so I pressed a lot of buttons. I was also glancing at someone's (work phone) text messages when notifications popped up. That's when I realised the hidden camera in the office. I want to quit :)

I worked at a small pizza shop so that night it was just me and one other employee who had been there only a few months (I had been there maybe 9 months). It was very busy in the store at the time when I received a phone call from someone claiming to work at a bank. He let me know he was VERY frustrated at the situation he was in and had worked on it for a very long time (which for me means they might be grumpy so I should help them as best as they could so they don't yell at me -__-). He said that someone who had paid about 8 dollars for something ended up getting charged 80 by his bank. He told me they were coming in for a refund and he gave me a code that was supposed to refund the money I gave away. Me being a people pleaser (to a fault) I agree and when the guy comes in I take about 70 dollars from the register and just hand it to him.
When I got home that night I started getting nervous that maybe something was up. My fears were confirmed the next day when the manager called to chew me out. Luckily I was only suspended for a week but it was such a humiliating experience.
The worst part was that the manager thought I was in on it and she also told everyone at the store that I cried on the phone when she suspended me. Like geez I'm just a naive idiot but I'm not a criminal.
And I waited until AFTER I hung up to start crying -___-

I worked for Hollywood video back when I was 21. I was the shift manager and opened every Tuesday when the new movies came out to rent.

Next day in the morning before the truck arrives I'm finishing up the week long mini-project I had going with a manager friend and he asks about the sexual thing I said to her. For a second I had no idea what he was talking about since it was such a small thing, but then I learned she had went to management about it and blown it way out of proportion. That same day the regional manager was in and I was fired over that.
I found out later that the regional manager saw the loading bay and was extremely impressed by the job done, and wanted to talk to the person that did it.
The store manager said to him: "The guy you just fired."
Tl;dr: I got fired over responding to a favor with: "Nothing sexual is it?"

I hate my coworker.
the last one really shows how ageism is one of society's biggest problems, but is so overlooked
But we are lazy stupid millennials who never worked a day of our lives. JK I agree
I mean... I wouldn't call it one of our biggest problems, but yeah, it sucks. When people don't trust kids, it makes me wonder what the hell them and their friends were doing at that age. Like... did that investor steal as a teen and now thinks everyone does?
@@Marispider My dad was a pretty terrible kid, and basically tried to tell me that I would eventually become a super rebellious crap-sack for a good seven years of my life. He told me that I would be telling them I hated them by the time I was 13. Believe it or not, I'm 17 now still hold a healthy, respect and trust driven relationship with my parents, and I have never once said or believed I hated them.
Younger memories tend to give people the impression that society for them was society as a whole, I guess. You and all of your friends did it, so why wouldn't your kid do it? It's annoying to have so little expected of me, but I think he indirectly led me to avoid becoming what he expected me to. I've always been willing to follow the rules and do things for other people before focusing on myself, so the fact that he was so sure that I would do something so out of character for me just drove me to be better than that.
That last story about the daycare literally had me laughing so hard my sides hurt. Best laugh I've had in a while!
"You hit another one?!" X'D
6:19 perfect example of US Government jobs, the government pays all your bills without asking questions so everything is good.
Go to somewhat socialist country's and realize it's worse but somehow better ( the workers gets fair hours at a good pace. No real questions asked when materials are gone etc.. buut everyone that pays taxes has to pay for the bs..)
One thing I learned from quitting my job is when you print up your two weeks notice don't roll it up like a scroll and tie a ribbon on it your manager will think there being invited to a party
Apparently I was a good worker because when I go to the mall and one of my old managers sees me they ask when I'm coming back to work it's been almost a year since I've quit guys
Im sure the teenagers could have sued or something because investor clearly stated that because of their age hes going to fire them which i cant imagine is legal
I started my first job... Was sent in to replace guy loading boxes. My job had all types of vendor boxes, light big boxes and 60lb small boxes and some boxes like 10ft long... Anyways it appeared to be a backorder of light weight crate boxes that were stacked to the ceiling in 50' trailer. I Proceed to build wall nice and neat as I started. I toss one up and it Cascades the whole wall. The wall crashes. Next thing I know is big boss looking in...whom earlier I watched asked for another's time badge earlier that day. (Place has many temps and at the time didn't deal with the least bit of nonsense, behavior, job performance, attendance issues). I thought I'd be fired... As it turns out guy loading before me was known for terrible stacking, only when he got alike boxes did he build a wall to cover his mess.
Ok so heres one I have.
My uncle offered me a job at his work in a recreational camp. All I had to do was drive around with him and make sure I followed every order I was given.
Well one day he told me to get the golf kart from the shed and pick him up. So I go and get it and as I'm backing up I hit his truck and destroy one of his backlights. Scared and panicking I just hurry up and take the kart to him.
I didn't tell him about it and I just kept on with my day. After work is done he finds out about it and I never worked over there again.
How fast did you back out lol
@@davidwatts3186 Pretty quick actually lol
I was trying to hurry up since my uncle is a pretty impatient person.
@@Koishi97 wow i dont think you should be fired for it tho
@@davidwatts3186 Well my uncle is quite a hardhead. He even told me when I started, "One fuck up and you're out of here." Lol
I used to work at Domino's as one of the first e-bike delivery boys. I was 13. The assistant manager didn't like me because I was different (I was and am still a heavy metal enthousiast with longhair and the lot). One day was supposed to work, but my parents were in a very heated divorce and my dad decided to drop me off at my mother's for no apparent reason. She lived at the other end of town and it would've taken me my whole 3 hour shift to get there. The assistant manager called me on my one way phone (I couldn't call, only be called) and said that I had to come into work with signed paperwork that he knew I lost weeks ago or I'd be fired. I paniced and hung up, started screaming at my mother because I was under the impression that my parents were ruining everything for me. I applied for a job there again 2 to 3 years later, and explained the situation. Apparently they had a new assistant manager now that was a really nice guy and he called the owner who said that the old assistant manager was fired because he would pull pranks like these all the time. He was not at all angry and I was very welcome to come work there again. Stopped coming to work about 5 months in due to emotional stress and depression. They weren't happy about it, but they did understand and they accepted my apology. I go there once in a while to order a pizza and have a chat with my old co-workers.
The lesson here is that the ice cream machine is always broke because the employees keep humping
Looking at it from the other side.
I used to be a Door Canvassing Manager for a Home Improvement Sales company. One day, one of my team comes to me and tells me he'd seen on of the newer guys taking peoples Amazon packages off of doorsteps and stealing the contents. I went straight to my manager, the Branch Sales Manager, to talk about the best way to fire him. My manager tells me "You can't fire him. If you fire door to door canvassers for being criminals or having criminal records, you'd have no one left."
Two weeks later, the guy who had been stealing had gotten annoyed with another guy in my team who had pretty severe Aspergers and punched him square in the face. I fired him then, only to find out days later that my manager had immediately re-hired him the next day to work as a solo door to door canvasser...
All in all, I'm pretty happy I'm not in direct in-home sales any more. It truly seems to attract the most sociopathic people.
"He hit me first" LMAO
I work for a shipping company
My buddy and I are yard spotters
So there is always a camera on me
We were goofing off one day and I flipped him off
(We've been friends for years and I'm standing up at his wedding later this year)
My immediate manager comes to tell me that 'rude gestures' is a firable offense and I need to go talk to our SENIOR manager.
I walk into his office 100% sure he was going to take my ID
I knock and he looks up from hos paperwork and goes
"WHATS UP, FINGER MAN"
He had seen us goofing around and knew it would be on camera
He just thought it was funny but told us both to not do that kinda stuff where the camera can see it
I'm sitting in the school bathroom waiting out my PE period. Wish me luck!
Update: I did it! It worked!
It was winter conditioning so we run an excessive amount in a tiny amount of time.
lampire loser
loser (fat)
Nice username 👍 and good luck! Don't forget to exercise outside of school tho, you can have some fun with it and keep yourself healthy
Update!
Update
Got let go from 3 jobs in 6 months, and it was doing what I was passionate about. Thanks to all the mental disorders I had and the psychiatrist piling on meds to really make it easy to cause accidents from being so wacked on the meds
Dropped the only coffee carafe in a restaurant into the sink (as dishwasher) and apparently the insides are all thin-ass mirrors. Smashed to bits.
I accidentally threw a knife parallel down the line and almost stabbed both my boss and his wife who where working it with me at Subway. Twice. Three years later and they still say I'm their best/favourite employee 😂🤷♀️
I smashed the side of my boss's F350 into a pole. I thought I would be fired because I had already rammed a wood chipper into the F250 and backed into a fire hydrant with the Toyota. I didn't get fired because one of my coworkers knocked like 70% of the dent out before my boss saw it. I got a 3 day suspension instead lol
billiondollardan please handover your license
@@PolterGoose. too late! they can't get me now hahaha
billiondollardan lmao try not to hit grandma during your getaway please
OHHHH NOOOOO. Anything but 3 days off.
they shouldn’t keep asking you to drive
“that’s cool” walks away. Never got fired
And everyone clapped lmao
I had to drive a truck for the first time on the job. Kind of nervous because well it was big and never driven anything bigger than a car before.
Truck was loaded up and we left to get to the site. Had to make a sharp turn from the lot to get on the (narrow) road. Had a buddy poke his head out the window because it was a narrow turn, there was a pole there somewhere and I couldn't see shit as I wasn't used to the size of a truck. He says its fine, nothing in the way and sits back down. I make the turn.
Suddenly, loud noise and abrupt stop.
Shit.
Though I hit the pole, might have caused more than a scratch to the truck, ok this is bad. Got out.
But it wasn't a pole.
It was the boss's brand new BMW.
I love these videos! It would be cool if they picked like the top ten of a category and animated them.
I worked at a bed and appliance store and they have really old machines, like really old and no return desk so I had to do it, mind you this is like 8 months ago, and that means I unboxed things, did cash, cleaned and did returns...I was basically one person labelled as a cashier working 3 different jobs. I had 7 people trying to tell me how to do the same thing but in different ways and telling me that their way was right.
Now what you should know is I was only working maybe once a week for 4 hours and each week a new sale was on but it required me to punch in a 20 button sequence that I would only use for 4 hours that week. It was frustrating and with my ADHD basically impossible. Well, one day, thanksgiving mind you, I missed a warning on the green cash screen telling me I was full and needed to have the cash taken by a floor manager to the safe. No one told me what the warning stood for and I didn't know it existed.
Still got fired. My first job lasted 1 month and 3 weeks...since then I've been unable to find work (its basically impossible in my town unless you know someone and what do you know my best friends mom was a manager there so that's how i got it in the first place)
Not being fired but I work in a college. One of our students came running to our help desk panicking asking us if we could undo an email she had sent. She had written an incredibly personal attack against a lecturer and accidentally sent it to the lecturer... oops. Lecturer walked past at that exact moment and overheard her asking for the email to be un-sent and very angrily said 'don't bother, come with me we are going to talk'. I haven't seen the student since so I don't know if she's been kicked off the course or is just hiding for a while, poor kid.
Also nearly got fired from my bar job for shouting 'I can hear you, I'm not fucking deaf. Learn a bit of patience and I'll deal with you soon' to a customer who wouldn't stop barking demands at me. I hated her and she hated me so it was only a matter of time before I snapped at her
Then was scared I was going to be fired from a book shop job for turning up still drunk from the night before... my manager just laughed and offered me whisky that he had in his office to stop a hangover coming on while I was still at work
This will be an amazing video
Lucas Moore I always see your name in the comment section and you are usually the first person to watch the video
Ohhmy Kawaii what can I say besides I don’t have a life
Lucas Moore lol
Tobyuoso ITS A JOKE
Imagine someone made a video of this video and read the comments just like this video
I remember working as a Cashier at a Convention one time
So one dude was ordering a shirt and a badge. We had loads of badges so I'm like "Eh sure, we have it" and he made the purchase before I got out the items
Turns out we didnt have any of the type of badge he requested despite that no one else ordered it and I was sure we had a full stock
So I had to get a manager and he spent the next 30 minutes tryna refund the guy to the point where 2 managers had to work on it.
I was fully expected to be told to GTFO. (turned out nothing happened and it was all resolved in 5 minutes)
Great business strategy! Fire all the young people that have kept the place booming, and hire old farts that can't keep up!
No wonder the golf course went under.
I was working at Macdonald's at the time. I mixed the seasalt and caramel for the McFlurries up... A lot of people got the wrong McFlurries. I also dropped like 4 things on my first day and accidentally hit a customer with a broom and made a kid cry because we were out of balloons. Needless to say, I didn't work there for very long
When I was 19 I still didn’t have my license and I just got hired at a golf course. Well to drive around we didn’t use regular golf carts instead we had utility carts which were the same except they had beefer tires a bed like a pickup truck in the back and headlights. Well my first day there I was told to follow my coworker who was training me around in one of the carts. Well I wasn’t paying attention and i heading right towards a tree, instead of braking I stepped on the gas and the left tire hit a tree and snapped the tierod. In other words the left tire wasn’t facing the same direction as the other, my boss was pissed at me. Later that day my friend let me drive a cart that was stick shift but this cart had bad brakes, so to my vague knowledge of knowing how to drive in general and how much pressure I should apply, I didn’t apply enough and ended up crashing into a water cooler, trash can and eventually a tree, thank god my coworker didn’t tell on me, I probably would’ve been fired
I actually had a similar story, except it ended with me accidentally hitting a golf ball cleaner and then stopping it while it was on top of my brother.
mafiacat88 holy shit
Haha yea I remember at the golf course kitchen I worked at we would take the kitchen garbage, slap it on back of a cart, and rip off across the backroad of the course to drop it off in some industrial garbage bins. The carts were governed but we used to drift around corners and whip around the gravel as fast as we could.
One time some golfers saw us driving like madmen and reported us. We didn’t get fired, but got a pretty stern talking to. I was probably 15. It was fun while it lasted.
RedBeard yeah golfers are real assholes, mainly because they’re old so they get a bitch card
JSI Crew can confirm
*My moment was when I worked at DQ and I was learning to make a blizzard with my boss guiding me, but didnt hold on tight enough. So next thing we know we're both covered in chocolate pecan blizzard, ice cream everywhere. As I'm standing there dripping in melting ice cream turning bright red from shame I just looked him in the eyes and said "...Please dont fire me" and he just started laughing saying Im not the first one. HOW MANY PEOPLE WORE THE BLIZZARDS BEFORE I*
From 10:00 I actually laughed .
dropped rag while wiping tables and chairs off, didn’t realize you weren’t supposed to continue using rag. (i’m an idiot i’m sorry) someone waiting for food saw me do this, filmed it and posted it on snapchat (my sister saw it on the public story), and also called my manager. my coworkers heard and calmed me down, i didn’t lose my job thank god (and i had to go rewipe all the tables and chairs down with a new rag)
That twin story had me in tears!
Kids, am I right?
The one with the golf course is unfair dismissal
My story:
So I heard I should act like I'm a caregiver in charge of taking care of myself...
I then proceeded to drink far too much chocolate milk, avoid responsibility, and watch hentai instead of weightlift. I also literally fell on my butt several times and it hurt.
I fired myself.
r/thathappened
What hentai was it
Tazim Khan i’m glad this was the second question
Yeah, tell us what hentai has done you in, so we can avoid it.
#ForScience
You're a bad caregiver lmao
Od worked at a small company for around 5 years, the day I was fired I slept well and arrived early. I'd set up my workstation like normal and took my routine 5 minutes smoke before I jumped into it. When I returned and sat down to get started my line manager walked in...stood there for a moment....then said "could you come with me a second"
I walked in the room and saw my manager, the Secretary (always a witness) and my line manager sat at the table next to each other.
I sat down and instantly let slip "sooooooo, is it normal to have a bad feeling right now"
My manager responded "yes"
And why...
@@Halberdin why'd I get fired? Cus they never wanted to hire me in the first place, but they couldn't fire me while my dad worked there
Moral of the story:
Dont get a job
That last one is the definition of companies only wanting to hire people with X years of experience instead of accepting fresh graduates and giving it a go.
I got fired because I didn't put the money in the bag.
what was your job? robbing banks?
@@Michelrs I'm not sure if they're joking or serious. I know a lot of places will fire employees who don't do what armed robbers tell them. Basically, insurance covers any money loss they incur, but if you're injured because you fight the robber, now they have to cover your medical expenses, and that's expensive. They'd rather lose a few thousand dollars (which they'll get back later) than have an employee get injured. Some managers do genuinely care about your well being, but corporate doesn't know you, they care more about the dollars.
I work in a hospital and we have phones there to be able to call nurses/kitchen/etc. The FIRST day I was able to deliver to patients (I was 16 in the dietary as a food aide), I DROPPED the phone down the elevator (the doors were thick af which meant the gap between the floor and the elevator was spacious) and I honestly thought I was done. My boss didn’t believe me when I first told him, then thought it was hilarious. I’m still teased about it.
