You Got Fired on Your Day Off???

...and other crazy 'fired-from-work' stories.

Within one week a guy got fired for porn on the work computer. When they checked his log, he spent about 6 1/4 hours each day looking at porn for at least the last 2 weeks.

Yesterday, a supervisor got fired for asking a couple women if they preferred to "spit or swallow".

What stories do you guys have, either of other people, or yourselves, where somebody got fired for some stupid/crazy/retarded stuff?

I knew a guy who went down to the pub for lunch. Had a beer, came back to work and as soon as he stepped into the factory, he was fired, since he was stupid enough to be seen by a manager at said pub.

What was the manager doing at the pub at lunchtime?

Back in Central-Europe it's pretty much the norm to be drunk at work, so

Used to work at circuit shitty....kid starts working, 16, within the first week he gets into the back room into the protected cage, just asked someone to be let in...he grabs about ~$10,000 worth of (unactivated)gift cards, about 20 xbox360 games, and something else i can't remember. All on camera. And fucking walks out...fired and arrested.

On a side note, i think the director of the store got fired for specifically this though this shit happened all the time...someone in tv's forgot to chain down a gigantic(60+) inch plasma screen on the bottom level...the music was up so loud it took us about 20 min to realize that the fire exit door alarm was going off...someone had just walked out with the tv. Best part? Only some of the camera orbs had working cameras in them. No camera caught it, at all.

It was someone on the inside. It was you, wasn't it?

At my retail job rarely anyone gets fired, they just stop giving them hours until they get the hint. One kid was stealing money from the registers though and they found out so he got arrested and he said that he was stealing the money for drugs.

I think a few retards at my dads work would be just surfing the web all day and he had like software on each computer that told him what the employees are doing. Sometimes they even are looking for a new job and bad mouthing the ones they have now in emails.

I once found out my bosses were fucking me with my bonus. They basically raised the requirement for the bonus 3 weeks before I would get the bonus making it impossible for me to reach it. It was a $5k bonus. So I told my boss not to fuck with me basically but friendlier. I then took a 3 day sick day just being sick to my stomach about how I was treated and was out with friends drinking beer and ofcourse they found out at work and this is the "official" reason I would get fired.

I started my own business the next day.

I was once employed at a mortuary, a pair of colleagues were observed collecting mementoes in the form of various organs and such. Protocols were spotty, and it was some weeks before The Management noticed and responded.

I have no faith in the funerary industry.

Unfortunately, the joys of double standards. A manager isn't operating machinery which could potentially amputate your arm if you do something stupid.

More like bus drivers and kindergarten teachers, but yeah, I guess they took a sip or two at the construction site as well.

I always kinda figured that the robots in Futurama were based off of Central Europeans and thus required alcohol to be powered.

That's a form of theft that's seriously fucked up, even after the methods loose their shock value. Stealing people parts has something that goes against conventional human nature... I s'pose it's somewhat similar to how vegetarians don't eat flesh because they say it had a name and a face at one point.

At the same time, I can't say I don't blame your colleagues. There's serious funds to be made in organ harvesting.

Think I've written this one before...
One of the crewmen on one of our ship got a telephone call and his wife/girlfriend broke up with him.
To which he proceeded to get drunk and smash headlights/windows/sideview mirrors on the cars in the deck below.

It's a sleepover ferry, so this was at night and the only people on the cardeck are the fire patrols...

Way back when I worked at a gas station, my manager got fired for watching security tapes of the female employees.

While not on the first day, it occurred during training afew years back from my training area. Some brilliant corrections officers decided to go to Louisville after work and used the state provided transportation van as they were from the Kentucky State Penitentiar. So what retudable place did our 4 individuals decide to go for their off time? Why ofcourse! The full-nude strip club!

Someone saw the van and contacted the Governor's hotline at 3 AM asking why his tax money was being spent to send government officials to strip clubs (My question would by why AREN'T they?), they wake the governor up who in turn wakes up all the relevant state officials and eventually the commissionar incharge of the State department of corrections says "I don't care who they are, fire all of them." The real kicker? There were two people from that group who elected not to go to the strip club and stayed the entire time in the dormatory. I bet they were fucking pissed off cause they just lost their job for doing nothing other than being associated with morons.
