Craziest reasons somebody got fired at your workplace???

[Palvaran]

Reasons:

One guy would clock in when his shift began, then leave to go home and smoke marijuana and would return a few minutes before he was scheduled to clock out and then clock out

One guy forgot to tuck in his shirt so he was fired.

One guy got caught looking at porn.

One girl was asleep at Helpdesk one morning. She was supposed to be answering phones. She was fired.

One guy messed up a computer in a lab, then used a keyboard sniffing program to log the administrator's password when the tech came by to fix the machine. He was caught using the info trying to hack our servers.

One guy was fired for sexual harrasment. Supposedly, another employee was flirting with a guy and then the guy made a comment about taking in her back of a barn and having sex with her. Supposedly, he then gave her a titty twister. I say supposedly because this girl is a headcase just as much as he is.

One guy was going to get fired because he is considered to have a bad attitude, but instead of firing him, they deported him to the siberia of our tech dept.

Typical thievery cases... try to steal, get caught on tape, etc.
Typical not showing up for work or reporting...

- 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.

if a co-worker of mine ever did that crap to me he could expect a nice pop in the nose.

2. Guy is caught masturbating in the walk in freezer. Apparently he was in there for like 20 minutes and they wondered what happened to him.

What about shrinkage?

>We were allowed 2 minutes to pee and 5 minutes

LOL that happened to me like in 1985 in one of my first jobs, the first day I was there my training started and around 9:30 they tell me this and I say btw I need to go..... so they explain to me where it was and I went alright but never came back.

In 1991 I was training a female employee on lead tech support for 6 months, after six months they gave her my job and said that I was no longer qualified for it. Now I know why she always had sore knees all the time.

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.

I got fired for almost the same thing... but mine was going to the bathroom too often.. At the time I had a bladder infection so every little drop felt like i was gonna expode if i didnt go. It only lasted a few days but I guess that was enough for them. I didnt mind though, I hated that place.

Get this, someone at one of our offices printed out child porn on the color printer! A coworker was trying to print something else at the time and found the page on the printer. The guy who did it rushed up, grabbed the printout from her, and put it into the shredder. HR ended up piecing the photo back together, firing the guy, and sicking the FBI on him. The sheer stupidity is mind-boggling.

Damn, where did you people work? With management like that are the companies still in business?

It's ALLLLLIVE!

 

[MrBond]

and my coworkers who worked with him told me that the guy would seem ... more energetic and hyper after lunch.

Man, I'm always more energetic after lunch. Once I get some food in me I've got a ton more energy. Hopefully no one thinks I'm smoking crack at lunch

He never got fired, but one of my buddies slacked so bad at his last job. New Employee training lasted half a day and there were free donuts. After his training, he'd go BACK to the building where they were training and get a donut when he wanted one.

He shared an office with another guy, they'd coordinate their napping so they would always have a lookout.

He went home one day to take a nap, in the middle of work (I must confess I almost did this myself today, settled for the caffeine solution instead).

I've always wanted to nap at my jobs. Never really been able too. If I had an office, it'd be easier. Damn these cubicles

A district manager (DM) for was "helping" a store manager do an inventory count at the store (he was actually checking on the store after some suspicious looking numbers came through). The DM found an empty Playstation box, so he asked the manager what the box was doing there. He replied that the he brought the PS home for his son to play. The DM demanded that they immediately go together to retreive it. It was a warm day, but the manager went and put on his heavy coat anyway. While they were riding in the DM's car, he noticed the A/V and controller wires to a PlayStation hanging out of the manager's coat. The DM demanded that the manager open his coat. Surprise! There was a PlayStation hidden in there. The manager was terminated immediately.

Very early the next morning, before the security company removed the former manager's code from the alarm system, the manager went back to the store. He used the store key that had gone "missing" several months earlier and his alarm code to gain entry to the store, and proceeded to clean the stockroom out of about 30 new PlayStations and most of the new games. Then he re-armed the security system and threw a brick through the front window so that it would look to the police that someone had broken in and quickly cleaned them out. Little did he realize that the security company had logged the disarming and re-arming of the security system. He was busted at his house with all the stolen merchandise less than an hour later.

Wow, I've heard some good stories here. So many crazy and stupid people here, but some people here didn't deserve to be fired.

 

[djheater]

The owner of our consulting firm fired one guy for being too "geeky" (he was over the phone tech support for god's sake... I would think being a geek would be a plus)

 

[Maetryx]

A bump for one of my favorite threads.

 

[mpitts]

Bump for the same reason.

I am still laughing at "meatgazer". hahahahah

 

[Demon-Xanth]

How the hell do all these people get away with napping on the job? People won't leave me alone for more than 10 f'ing minutes so I can do my own job much less take a nap!

My dad taught me a lesson: if you wanna enjoy lunch get out of the office. And my job's proven that too.

 

1) Falling asleep in the bathroom.
2) Threating his (female) manager.

Same guy, both counts.

A friend of mine, a dishwasher, was fired on the spot for chasing two busboys through the front of the restaurant with a butcher knife. It was after hours though, and they deserved a buttkicking. The busboys had kept coming back to the dishwasher area and throwing scoops of garlic butter at him. He finally got fed up and took after them. Manager believed the lies the busboys told him, and my friend got the "axe". I quit a few days later, in part because of my friend, in part because of major grade drops.

A consultant got escorted out of the building by security after making lewd remarks to some female employees. After being warned about it.

Another consultant was fired after he was arrested at the local college exposing himself to coeds. When the cops arrested him, they found a bag of marijuana and a gun in his briefcase.

I was fired for calling the boss at home, interrupting his horizontal mambo with a female employee. It was bad weather, and I was supposed to go in. Managers were supposed to call if the store was going to be closed due to weather. When I didn't hear from him, I called his house. He was mad I called (I could hear her in the background) and fired me over the phone. About 6 months later, he got fired for boinking the female employee. And no, I didn't report him, it was just a part time job at a record store. I suspect a friend of mine reported him.

I'll try to get this right.

A co-workers brother owns a comapny that does excavation type work, but with BIG machinery. It's a good size company, so you don't get hired by the owner all the time.

One day he was walking around and noticed an employee doing a repair. keep in mind that hte machinary is EXPENSIVE. he had parts laying in hte dirt. The owner asked the guy why the suff is laying in the dirt. The guy responds sometyhing to the effect of "what the f--k does it matter to you?". The owner responds, "I own that. You're fired."

It was funny because the owner is a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy that looks like a worker. never dawned on the guy that it was the owner.
---------------------
On a side note. He hired a bunch of non-union drivers for the trucks. Payed them like $22/hour (about 10 years ago). They decided they were going to get together and strike. They mentioned this to them and he simply said. Look around. I run this place so you have a job. See all that machinery? I can sell it all and retire a multi-millionair and you'll all be out of work." Needless to say, there was no strike.

OK, not neccesarrily both story's of getting fired, but aleast one was

this is disturbing

I'm thinking it's MORE distrubing that he was able to do more than one of those things before getting fired.

One guy on our team got caught in one of those meet an underage girl except it's an FBI sting. That was on his personal time but the FBI contacted our company who gave them permission to search the PC. They found child porn.

corporate scandal....

just great

A guy worked for a construction company operating some very large bulldozers. One day he ran over a truck, a nice new one. So he did what anyone would do in his position...


...he buried the truck and reported it stolen.

It worked until he got caught bragging about it, but they didn't press any charges because by that time there was a building on top of it, and he's never going to say which building.

Whoa... everyone should learn to operate bulldozers ! That's classic.
