I have never been fired, but when I worked at Quizno's in high school, I got really burnt out with the people I was working with, and just up and walked out and never went back. I was a few weeks away from leaving for college so it was not some big deal for me.

I did get suspended once when I worked a summer camp job. I had mentioned to one adult (another counselor) that another adult "lost his V card" and third female counselor heard and reported me to the director. Two days, no pay.

This place I worked at for over year, ended up working with all women last three months of job. I didn't mind it too much because I got along with them. I found a second job that paid more. Company got new management, none of us wanted to work there. One of my women co-workers called me and told me they were going to quit, I told her yes I'm thinking about quitting too.

About ten minutes later the new manager called me and said "I heard you're quitting" I said "Umm..yeah I'm out"

I kinda regret leaving that way, but I would have been more professional about it if that bitch didn't say anything.

Worked at a pizza place...asked for a week off to go to a family reunion in Jamaica. Boss said no. When the time came, I told him my grandma had a heart attack and I had to visit her. I came back from that visit really tanned and with beaded necklaces. I told one of my coworkers, and word got to the boss. He fired me and banned me from the restaurant. Oh well it was worth it.

I'm tentatively waiting to be fired for browsing TD all day. I'll bump this thread if it happens.

Never been fired. But dear god have I tried.

I used to show up to work the front desk at a luxury hotel obliterated drunk. To the point where I had to hold myself up with the counter.

I was easily the best employee there.

The only time I ever quit a job, the boss was walking up to fire me. I hadn't been at work in a few weeks after walking off the job mid shift. I was supposed to be office staff and got put on a roof in July doing stuff. I stopped by to pick up my check. As he was walking up, I held my hand up and said, "don't bother, I quit. We both know why."

Fast forward 10 years, that guy is a customer of mine and pretends he doesn't remember me.

Long ago, first job out of college, HR girl was explaining to me how her sister was going thru tough mental problems after having a hysterectomy in her late 30s after a couple of kids. I told her something like, "yeah I know what u mean, my girlfriend had her cat fixed after a couple of litters and it went crazy too." Not fired immediately but I was #1 on The List when layoffs happened a few months later.

Kicked a very expensive piece of equipment hard enough to put a dent in it. Didn't get fired, but only because they couldn't pin it on me.

I worked in the kitchen of that Spanish restaurant where portobello's used to be (can't remember the name).

There was another guy that was an enormous douche. Annoying as frick. I couldn't stand him. I asked our manager to schedule us on different shifts. Apparently is was easier to just take me off the schedule. I suppose he was a better worker than me

Had someone in an old job take a day off for a sick kid. One of the VP's happened to take a personal day that same day and ran into her walking around the mall. That's a firing.

Long time ago a disgruntled Party fapped on his work computer and fapped using his work cell.

Internet browsing history and direct line of questioning made for a very funny and awkward sit down with the owner.

In my 25+ years of working, I've never been fired. I did quit with style though. Working at Popeye's when I was 16. All black workforce except for me. First day they rode me like they were jockeys. 2nd day, they start in again - finally had enough, took off my apron and hat and threw it in the fryer, cursed them all out and left.

Technically got fired from my first job out of college. I was going to put in my notice the next week because I had another job lined up, but they gave me a headstart.

I was fed up with lies and bullshite and saw a tremendous amount of flaws in the business model, and called the CEO a fricking idiot and said the company was going to hell in a handbasket in a hurry over IM to another coworker.

IT was monitoring that, and shared those messages along with others I had previously sent, to the CEO and my VP. They sent me home early on Friday for me to "think about things" and fired me first thing Monday morning.

Company went kaput like 3 months later. Turns out I was right.

I did learn the valuable lesson of not disparaging the company over IM for any future jobs.
