‘I hired a guy to work for me as quality inspector for merchandise headed to Walmart & Target. He bragged about everything he stole from his last job during training and how they paid him more than I did. Well, I’m not holding him back from all that money so I had some big guys escort him off the property.’

‘Guy had been working a few days at a barn. Decided to smoke right by bales of hay. Manager saw him and fired him right on the spot. At farms, you don’t fuck around with fire.’

‘This is the opposite route here but I found it amusing. My boss was out of town and I managed a tea shop near a Starbucks years ago. This kid came in (foreign) and said he was supposed to start today.

‘We were hiring and I trained him etc. My boss came back two days later and had no idea. The kid was in the wrong place but he stayed with us. Hired on the spot without even applying.’

‘New guy drove a forklift into a fire hydrant, in front of a safety rep for the company. His supervisor was called over, and he immediately tells the supervisor that he won’t pass a piss test, as he used his only bottle of clean piss earlier that day when he hired in.

‘Everybody standing there immediately burst into laughter, which continued as security (also laughing) escorted him off site. Even the supervisor was all smiles…just gave him a pat on the back and wished him the best of luck. It was wild.’

‘I was fired on my second day as a line cook at a Mitzels Restaurant in Washington State back in the ’90s. Turns out I was hired just to threaten the job security of a long-time line cook with an attitude problem; to keep him in line.

‘He got the message and apologized to the manager, and I was fired for “breaking a yolk when flipping fried eggs” one time. I’d been a line cook for a few years by then and thought I was doing pretty good. I was taken out the back door and terminated on day 2.’
