So you didn't get fired at all. You just assume your dumbass comment is why you were laid off?

Philly Connection around the year 2000.

Allegedly sexually harrassed a female emloyee who ran out to her car crying, drove home, called corporate to report me, who then called the manager (who was my good buddy) who then said he had to fire me.

They never even got my side of the story.

Girl said I harrassed her, i got fired. Period. My buddy let me make a couple of cheesesteaks for the road.

Company was in financial trouble. Eventually forced to file chap 7 liquidation

Received a company wide email at 7pm stating, "As of this moment we are all out of jobs"

I was working the evening shift of our Network Operations Center when the email came in. My last act as an employee of that company was to forward our 800# directly to the CEO's home.

I have never been fired, nor have i been close to being fired.

I did tell the boss to frick off in a large meeting, but that didn't get me fired.

Never got fired, but I saw a dumbass get fired for looking at porn.. Had it open on his screen just looking at it like it was no big deal, people passing by his cube and some girl saw it and contacted HR. About 20 mins later HR is at his desk, never saw him again.

I got fired from a management job at a casino because I was banging cocktail waitresses two at a time. Players couldn't get a drink at the tables.

First job was at the Atchafalaya in Patterson. Was a hard worker but was immature so it didnt turn out well.

Wrecked 2 carts by not paying attention.

final straw came from their last attempt to save me. They moved me to inside the club house which was incredibly boring. young pedro decided to throw the cash register keys up and catch them for entertainment. someone walks in as i released them on the last throw and i somehow managed to lose them. Me and the hr/accounting guy (who was like an older brother to me) had to break the register to get it open. Was fired by the end of the day. Only job Ive ever been fired from.

Evidently this dude's friend sent a bunch of pics of nude chicks to his private email and he was just clicking each email and downloading the picture and looking at them like it wasn't a big deal.

He had only been working there for just over a month, but some other people at work knew him and talked to him a few days later. According to him, he didn't think it was a big deal as long as he wasn't going to porn websites.. This was 8-10 years ago. But that's pretty stupid. He supposedly got that job because he got fired from his last job doing something stupid..

Never been fired. But my last night at Blockbuster Video before starting my first "real" job out of college, there was some douchebag customer giving a girl I worked with a hard time.

He was being rude enough that I felt the need to step in. "You keep talking to her like that and I'm going to drag you out back and kick the shite out of you."

The division manager called me the next day to meet with him about my future with Blockbuster, not knowing that I had already worked out my two weeks.

Didn't attend work at the UREC because I went to a festival on campus that I requested off for. Walked in the next day and the boss fired me. Sucked cause I still had to work that shift. About a month later got a better gig that paid more at the PMAC. Lose win situation

I got fired from a job on my 2nd day there. It was a job on the restocking crew at a large suoermarket. Worked from 10-6 five nights a week. On my 2nd night on the job, shortly after I showed up, everyone (5 or 6 coworkers) was called to a meeting. We were all fired because they claimed that there was a lot of stealing going on. Especially beer, liqueur, and cigarettes.

I appealed to the manager that I had just got hired, and he said sorry, everyone on the night crew was fired.

This was in the late '70s, so this was before the time when they had surveillance cameras everywhere.
