Craziest reasons somebody got fired at your workplace???

[kranky]

A secretary lifted an employee's credit card info from an expense report and booked herself and her family (hubby and 2 kids) on a vacation to Myrtle Beach. The victim saw the deposit on his CC bill and called the resort to ask why they put a charge on his card, and was told his wife

booked a week-long stay beginning the following Sunday. He calls the Myrtle Beach cops on Sunday and tells them the story so the cops go over to the resort.

They arrive just as the secretary was checking in so they asked her for ID and to produce the credit card. She asks the cops to step outside then tells them the guy who called them was her ex-boyfriend and was so insanely jealous he made up this story because she broke up with him, she's of course an authorized user of the card and by the way please don't mention this to the husband (waiting in the lobby) because after all it's just a jealous boyfriend, a silly misunderstanding, and nothing criminal was going on.

The cops asked her again for the card and when she couldn't produce it they just told the clerk to refuse the charge. The secretary and family, having no intention of spending their own money for a vacation, come back home. She shows up for work the next Monday like nothing happened - by that time three more fraudulent charges showed up on the victim's card for prepaid cell phones - and they waited about an hour before escorting her out of the building.

kranky, would that qualify as crazy, or stupid?

Got up on top of the table he was sitting at, lowered trousers, loosely dropped Christmas decorations to rampant gardant penis and swung to and fro singing I believe the Smiths. Then leaped off the table, slipped and fell forwards - the resulting effect being him curled up into a ball groaning - and finally threw up in the same position, prompting a number of ladies nearby to do the same.

He was fired the next day. I don't think we would have been able to fire him at the party as after seeing him fall, all male eyes were watering...

Stupid, I know, but I didn't have any stories that qualified as crazy.

A guy went to the cafeteria at lunch and he proceded to load up a plate with shrimp, he then cover the shrimp with french fries. when he went to the check out line he tried to get away with just paying for the fries, he was caught and then fired for "stealing".

60K job gone for 3 bucks worth of shrimp, what an ass.

Funny thing is though people do nothing all day long here and nothing is done about it, yet this poor sap get fired for stealing shrimp.

True Irony..

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

You can walk out .. but they find you. There are cameras everywhere, but that doesn't mean that someone sees you right away .. three bundles of 100's isn't big ... think about brand new bills, they are crispy and fit nice .. 100 of them equals a bundle .. which is about half an inch thick .. three of those, not all that impossible. But when they dont' balance at the end of the day and the cameras get checked, you can bet they know who did it.
After that, it came out in court I think, that he was smoking crack at lunch .. and my coworkers who worked with him told me that the guy would seem ... more energetic and hyper after lunch.

One guy was fired at my workplace b/c he drank beer every evening and there were always lots of bottles stacked up under his desk. I find it crazy b/c he way overworked, was very productive and he drank beer only after the working day was over and most of the staff left. But he always stayed late to do more work done. He was a really good professional but some stupid manager fired him.

At our dealership, we had a luber (oil changer) who got fired for these reasons:

- He'd bust out his "manhood" and calls your name. He then calls you a "meatgazer" if you happen to look down there.
- Instead of going to the nearest restroom (about a 100 ft away), he would do his thing on the back of his team leader's computer desk.
- When there's a lot of people around, he'd bump & grind his body all over yours. I've seen him get on people's lap while they're driving. All they could do is stop and get out of the car.
- He'd take fully decked out brand new cars/trucks out for joyrides at nights.

Not the craziest reason for getting fired, but the best firing line:

guy called off sick about 75% of the time, so after clearing it with the boss, the lead tech called him at home and told him:

"Pack your bags, your fired!"


it was funnier when the guy said it cuz he had an accent and everyone in the place started cracking up.

 

[gogeeta13]

...had to be there...

Someone, numerous years ago, we'll call Frank, was playing Quake2 CTF (or Half-Life DM), on a Friday around noon. Head of the area of the company comes by, watches and walks off. Minutes later, HR comes by and lets him go. Not a serious thing, but cmon, NOON? We start around 6-7, not noon.

Some dumbass thought it would be "funny" to make a fake bomb and leave it on the desk of a VP he was having some issues with. And a couple years later he calls the company back and wants to know if we'll rehire him!

a girl who had been a cashier for 2+ years, and was one of the best at the store went on break, and ate a piece of pizza planning to pay for it after her break, but got busted not paying for it and got fired on the spot

I know a guy who had a similar experience. He was a grocery clerk and waited until the service deli was closed then had his buddy who worked in the deli load him up with a bunch of leftover potatoes wedges and chicken fingers for a couple bucks. The weasel assistant night manager busted them both and they were fired. 18 years old and making $13 an hour with no living expenses. And that was back in 1991. What a dummy I was.

$13 in 1991? Dang. . .

I got fired (laid off, with 10 weeks severance) for going to the HR director of my company and telling him that they were going to be on the wrong end of a lawsuit if someone did not have a conversation with our team lead. The man smelled so bad--not BO bad but rotting flesh from hell bad--that people were putting vics under their noses and leaving early during the day because they could not stand the stench.

But, since the guy was buddy buddy with the dept manager, he got to stay and I got to go...funny thing is, he still works there. In a cubicle removed from everyone else on the floor.

 

[rh71]

Not strange, but something to share:

1) Nicest guy you'd ever meet was a nighttime supervisor of a help desk. He timed out his agents for them well after they left... probably did it because they asked him to and he couldn't say no.

2) A well-educated / brilliant guy decided to start using a server to host porn for clickthroughs (money per ad click). All the bandwidth usage gave him away.

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

LOL,so that's why Attbi CS people can't manage a simple transfer of services,they're typing one handed !

Is that weasel assistant night manager are you or you are the buddy? Anyway, should most of that leftover stuff got throw out anyway?

I was the dummy clerk who ate the food. I figured the food was going in the trash anyways, so I give them .50 cents for a platefull and nobody's harmed. My buddy working in the deli was sort of a sleaze bag and the asst. manager hated him.

I was the youngest grocery clerk in the history of that store too. Everyone was bummed when I left, even the store manager. The worthless UFCW union who took money out of my check every month did nothing to help me keep my job.

Oh well. That's how you learn in life.
