what are some of the things you've got fired for?

Question

and how were you still able to land another job?

Answer 1

Got fired once cause I didn't show up enough.

Got another job cause there's tons of work here.

Answer 2

I was "let go" once because "the business wasn't doing well." Then I found out it was more because I wouldn't play the boss's "games" but the other girl he had hired after me wasn't fired. Guess she knew the rules to the game. I wouldn't have played anyway and turned out I got a much more respectable job with better pay and hours! Would probably have a sexual harrassment suit nowadays.

Answer 3

Turning up to work hungover all the time for my 2nd job which was on weekends cleaning a pub at 6am but i was 18 so of course i had to go out the night before:)the reason she gave me was that i "partied too hard"
i still had another job(retail) so i just didn't worry about mentioning my cleaning job hehe and now i work as a teachers aide

Answer 4

Inventing someting and having my superior fire me so he can take credit for it.
Making so much money for someone that they took it all overseas to avoid taxes and forgot to take me.
Boss was getting divorced and wanted to make the company look worthless to his wife's lawyer so he fired the companies main stars. ... me. It worked out though because for some reason he hired me back right after the divorce.


Told a boss if he didn't have $15,000 on my desk by the end of the day I am quiting. I miss the tech booom... It worked back then.

Answer 5

I walked out of my job (waitress) one day because I figured I wasn't needed since it was slow. Came back the next day and was told that I was no longer wanted because I might start a chain reaction with my radical thinking. Found out a few months later that I did start a chain reaction. And was happy to find that since they "fired" me and didn't pay me vaction time, 3 years later I recieved over $200 by mail as payment plus interest.
Got a job no problem, didn't even have to interview for it. I am morally correct and it shows.

Answer 6

I got this amazing opportunity to be an extra in a movie that was shooting in our local town. So of course, I had to call in sick, right? I had so much fun doing something this close to hollywood and feeling like a star for a day. I went back into work excited to share every detail of who I saw and what I did - FORGETTING- that I called in sick! I remember thinking why are they looking at me so pissed of for?

I didn't last longer than an hour before I got fired. ahh... so worth it.

Answer 7

Missing 2 weekend days of work at my supermarket job back in 2001 although I swore I was off for the Thanksgiving holidays...I still think about that ****!

Answer 8

One of the partners at the CPA firm where I worked make a cheap comment about the ashes on my forehead-it was Ash Wednesday, I'm a practicing RC- I told him if he had a problem with me, that it wasn't the only sweatshop in town- I was on the street in 15 minutes. I wound up as an financial analyst at the local power company(They paid better and had some real benefits!), and I ran into the @#$% in line at Staples about two years later.. I told him"...Think of me when you get your electric bill, a$$hole..."

Answer 9

I got fired for asking stupid questions on line when I was suppose to be working./ I'm smart that's how I got another job.

Answer 10

By not showing enough for what's been expected.
Got another job cause I didn't set a barline of what should be expected ....and I've gotten myself a ticket to HELL in my new place of work.....
And now I need to find a better work place to leave this HELL!
