Twice, once from a temp agency cause I confirmed I would be at work at 5am when I called at 4am then fell asleep and woke up at 7am. I was 17.

Then last year in my 30s I got into trouble outside of work that forced them to terminate me.

Fired once, laid off once.

Fired from first job because i was 16, forced to get it, and it was boring as fukk. It was for a mom and pop textbook re-printer shop for the local university. I didn’t really try to keep it or had a work ethic for it at the time for all the above mentioned reasons. But basically a large part of the job was literally taking scanned pages of textbook pages, a page at a time, take a image edit program to straighten the page, white out blemishes from the copying, and label it as compete. Nothing but that all day. You’d think hey maybe I’d listen to music to pass time or something. That would be ok. Let me go to I heart radio and put something on. No. I got yelled at because they were afraid I would introduce viruses on their local computer network and use up bandwidth. This was back when dsl was the fastest thing around but still the concern was overblown. I got chastised multiple times for that. Told me once and I did it a few other times. Pisses them off understandable after telling me not to do it but the expectation and fear imo was absurd.

Second issue was another part of the job was going through physical text books and cataloguing them. I actually entertained myself a few times doing that because some of the law books were actually interesting with the cases they mentioned. Like murder cases and other interesting cases. Got yelled at for reading some of the books instead of cataloguing lol

Last straw was during the same above task I fell asleep one weekend because I stayed up to like 3 am the previous night and went in at like 630 am for my shift and was obviously tired. They brought me in the office and accused me of partying the night before ( I was playing video games lol) and let me go. I was like :yeshrug:

I’ve been fired multiple times from petty level jobs, mostly when I was in high school or college. Often it was over for not showing up to work or something similar. I had a couple incidents where I maybe should have gotten fired because I tried putting hands on coworkers.

Yes and it was bullshyt. To be honest though it was the best thing that could have ever happened. It was a dead-end job I had at 19.

Now it all makes sense!

One of the dudes at work were like "they probably won't do anything to him, and I was like :child please:, but the more I put logic into it, I understood.

I'm tryna figure out who the dude is. I'm at work looking at the list of 3rd shift machinists in her area. I'm 75% sure it's a breh smh.

Ok girl lost a 6 figure job in Decatur, Illinois because she was hot in the ass. We got a Sleep Inn right down the street:pachaha:

You trying to be upstairs too? :mjtf:

weirdest time i got fired was when i was working for this company doing cold calls to sell visa/mastercard machines. i'd left for lunch and when i came back they had disabled my swipe card to get in the building... i came back in with someone else and i was at my desk for maybe 30 seconds before 2 guys in suits showed up and demanded i come with them to the floor above. they gave me about 1/2" of paperwork to sign and told me to get the fukk out. :mjlol:

another time i threw a bag of fries at my manager. ill quit a job in a second. dont take abuse from people. theres always somewhere else to work :ufdup:
