Craziest reasons somebody got fired at your workplace???

[vi edit]

Two that I can think off of the top of my head -

1. Assistant manager banged an underage employee on an office desk and was caught.
2. An office assistant told an owners daughter to "Go fsck herself"

I'm sure there are more, but those were two of the better ones

 

[amnesiac]

Holy crap, that's funny. I wish my workplace was more drama filled.

 

[BreakApart]

Smoking dope in the backroom...

When caught the person said: "I didn't think you'd mind"




His quote was funny thought i'd share it.

This happened before I was here.
A tech was working late night, one of the few left on the floor.
A manager decided to get up and walk around to stretch his legs or something.
The manager came around this guy's cube and the guy was on the phone with a customer going through the routine but this time had his pants unzipped and his genitals out and was fondling them.
Not saying a word about it to the customer or anything, just.... playing with himself. On a call.
The manager asked the tech to come see him after he ended the call. Apparently he was told that he can either quit or explain to the next place that he applies just why he got fired. :Q

So THAT's why they have hand's free headsets for techs.

Many years ago I got fired from a job for taking too long in the restroom. We were allowed 2 minutes to pee and 5 minutes to cr@p and, yes, they had people who would check on which you were doing and time you. I took 3 minutes to pee and they fired me at the end of the shift.

Needless to say, I didn't really care. Management was efficiency crazy and would even chew you out for walking too slow or not taking the shortest route to where you were going.

1. Stealing 30 thousand dollars in cash .. three bundles of 100 dollar bills .. and smoking crack at lunch time (no sh!t)
2. Stealing up to 20 thousand over the course of ten years .. in coin rolls
3. Banging girls on the desk (this was some supervisor or something)


I used to work in a treasury of a bank.

No sh!t indeed!. How does one just stroll out with three huge bundles of money worth 30g's???

Gas Station attendant...

Not knowing the camera placed in the store was real. (He never saw the video recorder hidden in a side room).

After hours his friends stopped by to visit.
As they proceeded to sample every product in the store, chips, candy, pop, etc.
The attendant stood up on the counter, turned up the radio, and began dancing with his friends.
The video showed they danced for well over 40 mins, while making faces at the "fake camera" or so they thought.

Monday morning the tape was being changed, they did a quick fast-forward and saw what occured.

Employee said: That's Fked up you never said the camera was real! lol...good excuse sparky

Man that's harsh! Did they ration out TP as well. ONLY 4 SQUARES FOR YOU!

at a former employer a guy got fired after he dated the owner's daughter, then complained about her lack of personal hygiene.

at my current employer some people were fired for storing several gigabytes of pr0n on company computers.
another guy got fired for using company computers to design boats (his consulting business). yet another guy was fired for ordering some very expensive chemical analysis equipment that he used for his consulting business.

Sounds like a place you wouldn't want to work at anyway.

1) a project manager was given a special arrangement to take engineering related classes during work time, and use his huge bank of sick leave to get paid during the classes. It turned out he was taking music classes.

2) another project manager came on board and within a month had landed the company an exclusive invitation to make a $30 million proposal to an investment firm to do all their environmental engineering work. It turned out that she invented the whole thing so she could be constantly working on the pretend proposal and didn't have to do anything else. When her resume was checked (it didn't get checked when she was hired) NONE of the items on it could be verified, NOT EVEN HER NAME.

 

[Beau]

1- Being the victim of sexual harassment by the big cheese, and complaining about it
2- Banging on a second level rack in the warehouse

I remember your posts about that a long while back. That woman has.....issues.

 

[Maetryx]

Yeah, she's freaking scary. We suspect her of faking illnesses (we're pretty damn sure she didn't acutally have minor outpatient brain surgery, breast cancer, knee and hip surgery... all in 6 months). She also had multiple calls to 911 with the company cell phone that she had never mentioned to anyone.

 

[vi edit]

Maetryx, sounds like she has Munchausen's Disorder.

I'm serious about that too.

a while back the taco bell was remodeling in my town. it was found that the construction guys where pooping in the beans. the guys got fired, and the construction company got sued as well as taco bell when a customer bought a special bean burrito

 

[TheOmegaCode]

I have worked for the County Office of Education and I've yet to hear of a 'firing.' When I started working there, I wore tan pants with polo shirts and leather shoes. No they're lucky if I come in with jeans and tennis shoes. Nobody has said anything to me. I'm just waiting for someone to say something to me...

She didn't happen to go by "Becky", did she?
