I was bitched at and threatened earlier this week for failing to restock the paper supply quickly enough for some of the departments. :roll:

explain more please.

I used to work at a movie theater and they would sell those small cups of extra nacho cheese for people who wanted more. Coworker was on his break and wanted some more cheese, gave him a cup of it for free. Never the less the manager thought i was giving away like $20 bucks of free food and came to realize it was only nacho cheese.

Do workers get free food? If not, then its theft ... and that's something people usually get fired for no matter where you work and what you do.

You deserved it. What if your delay in paper delivery caused invoices to be delayed until tomorrow? What if your company's operating account is running dry, and those invoices needed to go out today to ensure your paycheck can be cut?

I was a manager at a movie theater, long, long ago. If they are firing people over .25 worth of nacho cheese, then they are in a financial clusterfuck, or, are just complete assholes.

They need to worry about all the money employees are able to swindle out of there without them noticing....its crazy.

But how many cups of $.25 cheese were given out before the manager found out? That's the question on his mind, wouldn't it be?

You got free food if you got a coupon from the manager. So i figured he didn't need one just for the cheese. I couldn't believe they made that big of a deal about 25 cents. I said if you have to fire me over nacho cheese so be it. I was embarrassed when it first happened so i told all my friends that i got caught messing around with a female coworker in the projector booth.

he forgot to mention it was the 10,000th time that day.
you could look at it this way too - if he is giving away the cheese for free, what else is he giving away for free?

i was fired because i sent my supervisor an email, which was pretty heated, asking for a bit more respect becuase its not like we work at mcDonalds. He had chewed me out in front of my entire helpdesk staff because I used the word "stuff" in an email to a client, of whom I already had good repoir with.
