Workers, let’s hear it: why did you, or a legendary coworker, get fired from a job?
The list of offenses that can get you fired from a job is long and hilarious, and chances are, if you haven’t gotten canned in a ridiculous way, you know a coworker who has. Some people have a short temper, and it makes them both hard to employee and impossible to forget. After all, it’s not every day you see someone flip out at the boss for asking a simple request (usually something in their job description!)
One person got fired pretty quickly because he was misusing the company car. That’s totally understandable — if you’re being reckless in a vehicle branded with your employer’s info, you’re just asking to be let go! But some stories were totally inexplicable, like the sandwich artist who simply did what a customer asked. The customer just wanted extra olives, which this person obliged. I wonder if their mistake was putting on a handful of olives instead o of counting out like 4 olives and adding that, since some chains are very stingy about these things. Still, that’s a hilarious reason to fire someone, and I’m sure it remains a treasured memory of the time they got fired for over-oliving a sandwich.
