I used to work in a hotel as a kitchen porter.
One night i got the midnight to 8am shift and instead of washing the hundreds of dishes from t hat day's dinner service,i fcucked the lot of them in the walk-in fridge and went drinking(for free) in the top bar with one of the waitresses from the nightclub.
Got a phone call pretty much the minute i got home telling me not to come back..worth it totally!

I was working the till at some hardware place. Id been there too long and was on the verge of quitting. So, some guy comes up with a bunch of ****, scan all the **** and he asks if he can get a discount so I knock around 150 euro worth of **** off the bill and tell him. He seems pleased and leaves then someone went to the manager about it. They found a receipt where id cancelled an item, it wasnt the one that I gave the stuff away on but they assumed it was. I had three weeks suspended with pay while I had my "appeal" against being fired. On whole, it was utterly baffling as I got paid for 38 hours a week while suspended even though I worked 12 on average. After the first week off I got another job and appealed my firing on the last day of the three weeks. They asked me if I wanted to appeal again which I said I would but they said I wouldnt get paid for the suspension so I didnt bother.

I worked in a well known hire shop as a plant mechanic, only in the job a month and I was sent out to start a 3 ton dumper that had broken down on a customer. The boss told me to get it started at all costs as all other dumpers were out on hire.

I told him that it was beyond me as the starter motor had packed in. He was persistent on me getting it going so I hooked it up to the company's 1 ton Toyota Dyno with a rope and pulled it burning out the clutch in the process. I Lasted two weeks in the job after that.

I got fired for eating penny sweets.

I got "released" as they call it here. Not fired exactly but given an end date for my contract.

The reason, cost cutting. I was chosen because of my social status, in other words, I'm not married and don't have any dependants whereas my colleagues do.

It didn't really matter if I was good at my job or not. They gave me 2 months notice (which was nice) and I've done feck all in the office since they told me. 2 months paid holiday FTW

, just have to turn up to the office.

My Experience
I got let go from a Warehousing crowd years ago after working the first end of quarter. It was dead but they had built it up like it was going to be mad busy and we would have to be there all night. During the day my sister’s arrived and tell me I’ve got to come home. I hadn’t a clue what was going on but they insisted. I had no excuse to tell my boss except to point at my sister’s and say “they tell me I’ve got to come with them”.
When I got back I found out my other sister had got married in secret that weekend and everyone was having a party in her house. Food, drink and good times – then I rang work Monday and I was told not to come back.
It's a great feeling to lose a job you hate.

Funny experience I witnessed
Another time in my current company there was this absolute Sham accidentally hired for a warehouse job and neither manager or supervisor remember him from the 2 applicants they interviewed. He had a bald head, a big scar down his face and a pikey earring and went by the name of Eric. 2 of the lads went for a smoke and he joined them, by the time they were finished and heading back in Eric had just finished rolling a joint and asked them if they wanted some. “Put that away or you’ll get thrown out” they said.

Another time the head of the finance department walked in and saw him with a full screen of porn on his monitor, which he couldn’t turn off. His lack of knowledge is understandable when you consider he sat staring at the PC one morning not knowing how to turn it on. My supervisor pressed the obvious button and asked him if he had a computer at home to which he said “Yeah, my brudder has a Plaaystaytion like”.
When he got an annoying pop up telling him he had won a million quid he thought it was genuine.
He shared a lift in to work with the other 2 lads in the warehouse and on the way home each day, one of them would drop off a mile from his house so the Sham wouldn’t see where he lived. He would tell tales of getting kicked out of the hostel he was staying in (usually a result of taking Es and drinking too much Henneseys) and having to beat on “friends” doorways.

Needless to say, given how tough it is in most places to fire someone it took a short period for them to figure out how they could legally get rid of him.

I worked in a pizza place in the states. I was the counter guy, crazy busy job. Technically I wasn't supposed to use the till, but did so on a daily basis for about two months.

One day a customer asked me for change of a dollar. I happily obliged and returned him 4 quarters.

All of a sudden the boss was yelling at me to get into his office. He proceeded to shout and scream about me using the till when I wasn't supposed to.
At this stage I was just boggled... thought it was a joke or something and started laughing :eek:

Then he just totally lost it and shouted for all to hear: "fck off, you're fired!!!!"

I later discovered that his fiancé had rang a half hour before hand and broke off the engagement :rolleyes:

my first job was as an 18 year old in a heinz food factory.
my job was to grab 12 little mini-pizzas as they passed on a conveyor and put them in a box. this was just after they came out of a freezing machine and my place on the line was right beside the freezing machine.
8 hour shifts,on a line,counting pizzas,fighting off frostbite...after 4 weeks frustration was building up.... so when one of my colleagues playfully threw a fresh pizza at me,ruining my pristine white coat,i playfully hit him a punch in the head.
fired.

I once got fired from a buuilding site for "Lazyness" cause I would not laugh at the bosses paedo jokes at lunch. He used to joke about having sex with his daughter every day and everyone would laugh out of fear apart from me. He then told everyone the reason I did not laugh was because I was gay? Then he told the foreman I was lazy so the foreman fired me.

I was a very happy man leaving that site I can tell you.

Slept on a mountain of nappys while hungover. For ten hours. Boss was not impressed when they found me as they thought I was dead. Best sleep I ever had.

I got fired from a well-known fast-food chain when I was in college for calling my manager (something to the effect of) a stringy-looking cunt and raising a spatula at him because he was sarcastically lecturing me in front of everyone about being able to fit more x% burger buns under the grill.

I also got fired from another chain for the more prosaic reason of just being lazy and bunking off.

I worked as an accommodation assistant recently. Only students were hired and we were told they could let us go whenever they wanted without notice. Exactly two weeks in, I was called into the office and told that I wasn't doing a good job, which was baffling because there was no way they could've known exactly what I was doing. We were always sent into rooms in pairs. Later we would be given a list of things we missed, but I was doing well by that point, with hardly any mistakes. I absolutely hated the job, but it was money.
