. This fear is completely understandable, as getting dismissed is one of the most pivotal moments in our professional lives. It catapults us into uncertainty and the many upcoming challenges associated with the search for a newof Americans, this fear has come true. To find perspective or perhaps take such a burden off their chest, some people share their getting fired stories online. We atcompiled a whole list of them, ranging from ridiculous to downright unbelievable.
It was an insane amount of work and however I managed to do it for 6 months is beyond me, especially for how s****y I was paid. Oh and I was the only one in the company who knew the process for all these things. I have a very well written “how to” manual I sent to him last year with all the information to take care of this via email that he never responded to. I BCC’d myself because I had a feeling this would happen. And I’m glad I did.
I get injured and no loyalty. F**king replaced me while pretending I still had the job and only let me know when I'm ready to come back. When it was her turn, I asked her what she was looking for. The woman asked me where the “chicky figs” are. Later my manager said I was in the wrong. That I was being rude and condescending to the customer and I should have understood what she was asking for. I tried to defend myself and explain my side of the story but he would not listen. He said there are many college students he can hire to do my job and that I was a dime a dozen girl. I was fired and told to get off the property.
I ended finding out at the ER I miscarried. I bring my medical records to work, and tell my supervisor why I have taken days off and she said ok. never even informed Me of sedgwick the online system where you have to call out and reuqest sick time. A week later my supervisor tells me I'm fired and that it's from my missing days. I tell her why, she says to take it up with the store manager.
Had the craziest thing happen to me. I was headhunted for a role. I did multiple interview rounds and formally accepted an offer. I did my first day and in the first hour I talked to the CEO and we went over some stuff...then I was fired. He said because I yawned once during the meeting my energy wasn't right. If anyone has a rec for a good lawyer in CA let me know.. Indeed, pausing to reflect and letting go of any negative thoughts and emotions is crucial during such a time.
I remember back in the 90s when I gave notice at my gas station job to go to uni, they congratulated me and asked questions about what I was taking and if I'd like to work over my breaks . Noticed on my last paycheck that my clocked hours had been altered/ reduced and I was missing pay. When I asked my boss why he said he didn't like the time my shifts start so he removed half an hour from each shift and that he thinks I work too slowly so he took another half an hour off of each shift . So he's retroactively removing an hour's worth of pay from already worked shifts and is only paying me for 6 hour shifts.
It just really hurts to know that even if I do everything perfectly and even offer to TURN DOWN MORE MONEY to work with someone, they would still rather fire me and start over again from scratch than put up with my neurodivergence. It feels like there's nothing I can do. I hate that capitalism makes being even a little different from everyone else a freaking death sentence.
edit 2: damn not some of y'all agreeing with my boss about my work ethic 💀 this is the anti work sub are you lost? i was a wagecuck at an arts and crafts store. i was good at my job too- I know a lot about sewing, crocheting, embroidery, and such. but i just wasn't going to go above and beyond. My coworker would talk to me about this kind of stuff on the clock and seemed to have the same attitude about work but she's actually just a rat.
Yesterday I emailed them and told them to come get their s**t. I had the police come over and declare the vehicle abandoned. They would tow it in 24 hours. Aside from how s***ty of a thing it is for a boss to steal your pay, how the f**k can you do this to a man who has loyally worked for your company for 30 f**king years? It just goes to show that we are nothing more than pawns for these piece of s**t business owners to use until we dry up and die.First they cane for the young and inexperienced and we said"they were probably lazy and on their phone".
