    Default Stupidest reasons you've been fired from a vanilla (or adult) job

    I will start one... I had a small, faint stain on my white button down shirt I was supposed to wear on my first day. I got send home. Mind you, they did not provide uniforms and it was a stuffy bar/grille.

    A friend of mine lost her job at a grocery store for eating an egg roll on break that the store said she didn't pay for. She worked in the deli.....

    I also heard a girl who worked at tgi- something got fired for being not " enthusiastic" enough. Did you forget your flair, today?? lol, that sucks.

    Not calling in at the end of the week, I took off because my Father had a stroke.

    Yes, I was fired from a job because I didn't want to leave the hospital while my Father may or may not die.

    He is alive BTW, but it is devastating to see him suffering the indignity.

    My skirt was too short. Actually, this is one of my fav stores so here we go...

    I worked as a temp, and way back in the day, there werent a lot of clothes avail for tall ladies. Slacks were out of the question, and a skirt that would come to anyone elses knees shows a lot of leg for me. But...I did my interviews, got hired by the temp agency, and they set me up in a dr's office as a receptionist. Unfortunately, the dr's wife worked in the office too. Unfortunately the dr happened to mention to his wife "wow, she has long legs". The wife put in a complaint to the agency that my skirts were too short, and she wanted me to wear long skirts *that come to my ankles!!* or slacks from then on. The agency asked me to come by after work...told me about the new dress code, and I told them not only cant I afford to buy new clothes right now, but there are no skirts or slacks long enough to even do that! I was really upset (sad upset, not angry upset lol) and they told me my skirt did not look inappropriate, and its not like I can help it that I have long legs...

    That even, I got a call from them saying I didnt need to go into work the next day..the wife said if I wasnt coming into work in ankle length skirts or pants, I was fired.

    Months later...my hubby was having surgury done to his foot..he asked me to wear the hottest shortest thing I had, cause if he didnt make it out alive, he wanted that to be the last thing he sees before he dies (so dramatic ) I walk into the hospital with him..and who is his surgeon? My old boss....who looks right at my legs and says ..omgosh!! I remember you!!!!!!!!!!! And he is so daft, I will bet anything, when he saw his wife, with a huge beaming smile he said something along the lines of "remember that girl with the really long legs who used to work here...I saw her again today!"

    I've never been fired from a job but I've been "talked to/sent home" for wearing ripped/distressed jeans, not being "enthusiastic" enough, being annoyed when someone asked a stupid question, and for yelling at someone.

    When I was written up for not being cheesy enough, my manager was like "people love to talk about their dogs, so make sure you ask people about their dogs. Also, don't forget to talk to people about their babies. Even if the babies ugly, just tell them their baby is precious." She said "I was shy like you once, but I got used to talking to people." Thanks for the advice, moron.

    I dont think ive ever been fired from a vanilla job as such, i was reprimanded by the managers daughter of a shop i worked in for making suggestions on how to do bits and pieces in the shop, for re-dressing the mannequins when she wasnt there to "supervise" (manager asked me too cause i had sold the most full outfits to custys and he wanted my "style and flair" in the window for all to see (lol) and for, get this, offering to do more shifts when they were short staffed!! I told her to stick the job up her arse, they were underpaying me and i was doing them a favour by even being there.

    Funniest one ive ever had being fired (and barred) from my first SC cause i was nice to the manager (19 year old boy) who was new to the area and had no friends, and then when i told him i had a new boyfriend he told everyone i had "lead him on" was a "complete bitch" and that id been "fucking him for weeks" apparently he "was my boyfriend and id said id move in with him"

    ALL of this was lies, the owner (managers uncle) told me i could come back any time as i was always prompt/early for shifts, didnt drink/do drugs and earned money for the club. Id already moved away anyway but apparently the manager/child said it was "him or me, if she comes back, im leaving!" lol Well, thatll teach me for being nice! Im not sure how many of the girls actually believed this story but its a funny one to tell and makes me giggle time and time again.

    Saddest part is, he, as manager, had my mobile number, from that he rang me about 30 times a day, left voice mails and texts getting increasingly desperate, told me he was drunk and going to kill himself on numerous occasions (then retracted this when i told him i wasnt going to turn up at his home and that id rang the police to dispatch a car to his address.

    He told me he was going to send footage of me dancing on the pole/stripping to my mothers email address, i have NO idea how he found it but he did in fact email my mum telling me my boyfriend at the time was beating and raping me daily, then he started ringing my house phone (i didnt even live there anymore, parents house) and leaving creepy messages, tried to stalk my sister on a night out and only stopped when i sent a fabricated letter saying i was going to have a court injuction taken out to stop him contacting me or my family!!!

    Temp agency jobs are the worst for that. I was once fired from a temp job because after a day I still didn't know the names of all 100 people at the company. Oddly I was the third person to come in that week after two got fired on Monday.

    I once worked at a discount chain called Venture in college. I was in school fulltime and wanted to work 20-25 hours but they kept giving me 35 hours or so and my grades were suffering. I also got stuck Saturday and Sunday nights and kept asking for at least one of them off every so often but they declined. The final straw is that my parents were having a Halloween party and I gave them three weeks notice. I then looked on the schedule and saw I was still scheduled, asked them and they said someone else asked for it off and they had seniority or some bullshit excuse. So I asked a coworker to cover for me. Turns out she got sick, and rushed to the hospital a day before and they fired her! So I pretended not to know she got fired (though we chatted on the phone)and when I came to work they wanted to write me up and I walked out the door. I had enough, it's bad enough I didn't get breaks sometime (and my eight dropped to 110 pounds)but it was affecting my grades.

    I then started modeling not long after that and months later I saw the coworker who got fired became a stripper too.

    I loved the job too actually. Its just hard when you get tired of catering to stupid-ass tourists and their nasty brats.

    Yeah, temping jobs are fun eh? I remember another one...I went to a job, worked my butt off, somehow word was getting around about me, people were making a point to come over and intro themselves and meet me, one even said theyd been looking for a temp to perm and how so far, Ive done more work in a day than anyone else could get done in a week, so Im a definite shoe in if I ever wanted to go full time.

    WELL... I always wore 3/4 length sleeves cause I have a tattoo on my arm. No one saw my tat all day...my supervisor came up to me as I was reaching up to put something away and she saw a tiny glimse of it, and in mid sentence stopped short, and said bluntly...you have a tattoo on your arm. I admitted I did, but that I always wear long enough sleeves to cover it. But she repeated really upset..you have a tattoo on your arm. 10m later, she came back into the office, told me I finished all the work that needed to be done and so I didnt have to come in the next day...or any day after that, and I could leave immediately. Come to think of it, that was the job I got directly have my drs office job Luckily, my agency really loved me...when I told them what happened, they were basically like, screw them, we have another place that wants you tomorrow

    That job ended up being temp to perm...it was at a TV station and they were beyond awesome. My agency must have told them what all had happened to me, cause at my not really an interview, interview to go temp to perm...my boss told me if she had legs like mine, shes wear skirts everyday, but I can wear jeans to work if I want and she said they dont care if they can see my tattoo around the office, but if I go on tv or working with volunteers to cover em up. Of all my vanillla jobs, that was the coolest ever.

    Broadcasting jobs are the best at that. I've worked radio and tv and they never cared what I wore.

    Luckily the one agency loved me even when the companies didn't. Oh I just remember a job I had one day then the company called the agency and told them I was too pretty for the job. wtf? I know it was a crappy job but still.

    I had a regular go completely pyscho on me a few years ago... long story short this guy stole my purse when I set it on a counter and got a hold of my phone. Found out where I lived, where I worked at my normal job, who my parents were, etc. He proceeded to stalk and harass my family and I, it was the most traumatizing experience I've ever gone through. He even went so far as to show up at my regular job, which was at a coffee shop downtown, and tell my manager that I was a stripper and a prostitute and went out with the lobbyists who worked upstairs. He returned my phone to her after telling her a ton of bullshit, she called me up freaking out telling me what just happened. There was no way I could ever show my face there again, lol. Terrible!

    There are worse problems in the world LoL!
    Cannot at all deal with jealousy issues in the workplace...
    Totally dont like being in situations where Im working for or with someone, and their possessive, overbearing woman is right there up under us.
    Been in that situation three times now. Two of them ex's of mine.. Yeah, I didnt learn my lesson

    My last ex, his gf was going into his email and deleting any emails from me before he read them,
    mostly all work emails..so he was there thinking I wasnt getting any work done and ignoring him...
    And since I usually only did that when he made me mad, he didnt want to say anything and give me a reason to tell him off.
    That went on for months before he found out...cause I told him off for not responding to an email Id sent.
    And she was telling him off about something I said in an email, but he hadnt read it yet, so he was overall clueless why both of us were so pissed off.
    I dont know why he puts himself thorugh all that. I really dont

    I got fired from a buffet once for "being too skinny." The owners were worried that I might "fall down and break something," and that "the customers will think that the food is bad 'cause the cashier looks like she doesn't eat."

    I was actually willing to work for Gloria Jeans for $10 fucking dollars an hour. This was sometime last year when I was still 18, and I was still with my boyfriend that expected me to get a "proper job".
    I was doing fine during the trial when the next day I didn't receive a call from the manager, and I had to call to see when my next shift was.
    Turns out I wasn't hired because I wasn't "motivated", the only thing I could think of that went wrong was when I had a sip of coffee they offered me as a free daily staff drink.

    I was cheerful as shit to everyone in contrast to that angry moody looking bitch of a manager. Well I'm so fucking SADDENED they didn't hire me for $10 fucking dollars an hour!

    Before becoming a dancer, I worked as a respiratory therapist for a few years. I was once fired from a hospital for refusing to follow a doctor's order that would have resulted in the patient's death !

    I've been treated worse than other people before at my vanilla jobs, thanks to jealous women. It's not my fault they're insecure.

    I worked at ShopKo at the Customer Service desk about, jeez, 13 years ago... Anyway, I kept getting this phone call from this automated voicemail thing. Well I thought it was some sort of telemarketer so I kept hanging up on them. Turns out it was a deaf person calling. I'd never encountered that before since I don't really know anyone who is deaf and no one bothered to explain that situation were it to arise. The 5th or 6th time this person called, they asked for a manager right away so I transferred the call. 5 minutes later I was on my way out. I thought it was bullshit because I honestly didn't know it was a deaf person. I think they were looking for a reason to fire me anyway. I was always stealing the defective makeup from behind the counter and I don't think they could prove it

    Heres one where I didnt get fired, but I quit before they could....

    When I was an army wife, I got a job at the chow hall. Let me tell you, that was the hardest job Ive ever had EVER! That guy from Dirty Jobs should go work in one for his show Well, all my superiors I was working with happened to be Korean army wives. And they assumed because I was a woman, I know my way around a kitchen. Now kwwp in mind please, I loved my time in Korea, and have absolutley nothing wrong with anyone, but they kept yelling at me "Why you wash pot like that?" "Why you no clean top to bottom" and it wasnt like pots and sinks and dishwashers at home...these were industrial machines I was working with...and if I tried to ask for help theyd yell "I no have time! Get to work!!!" The military cooks felt really sorry for me, especially when they found out I was a vet, and would help me out and let me know how things work, but omg, it was maddening. I tried to tell head office what was going on and they said theyd look into it, but nada.

    The kicker came when I was standing there with these huge ass pots I was washing by hand , and she *screamed* "Why you so lazy? Why you no work fast?!!!" I lost it. Now, my version of losing it was keeping my cool, finishing my shift, and when my husband picked up up from work, I burst into tears in the car and he could not get me to stop crying to even ask me what happened. lol I packed up my uniforms, went into the head office, and told them that since nothing can be done with my working conditions, and no one is willing to train me but everyone wants to yell at me, then I have to quit. And I hate being a quitter, so I was near tears and she was there trying to console me and told me it was okay, I lasted longer than most people do...I wasnt working there more than 2 weeks! but jeez, horrible job.

    Ooh, and I heard it was rough...the pay was $25/hr even and back in '97, that was probably like earning $40/hr today... but I can hang and handle most anything, so I thought Id do fine. Hell no...

    That was one of the best bits about getting fired from the shop i worked in too. Cause they were cheap, they wouldnt pay the postage to send defective items back to the manufacturer, so it was all just sat in a big box in the storage room. The week before, id offered to fix/men/sew the defective stock up so that it could actually be sold (Im not too bad with a sewing machine) the manager had said i could have 25% from each item id fixed when they sold because they were non-returnable to the shop and they would have just been sat there forever otherwise. The managers daughter was being a bitch and said she wasnt going to pay m the 25%. So anyway, id taken the box home, was halfway through fixing the clothes, i got fired, and i cause i never stepped foot back in the shop again, i got a free box of clothes haha, the items which i had more than one of or didnt fit me i sold off to friends, and kept the rest! RESULT!!

    Im not usually big of theft, but they were paying me well below minimum wage, refused to put me onto the books so i couldnt pay tax, and therefore, couldnt claim benefits or, when i was fired, get free training from the job centre as i looked like id never been working and therefore hadnt been made redundant!

    I have never been fired (fingers crossed) but I was written up when I worked as a barista. I called in sick to work for the first time ever because I had a violent bout of food poisoning. I couldn't sleep for more than 20 mins at a time and I was on the verge of dehydration but I still called every coworker I could to try to get my shift covered. With crippling diarrhea and no car, I couldn't get in to urgent care for a doctor's note. Since I didn't get my shift covered, I was written up because with no note, I apparently should have come in anyway.

    That was a temp manager. He tried to fire my boyfriend because we were dating even though he had hired us spontaneously WHILE WE WERE ON A DATE.

    That guy was such a bitch...

    I got fired because a group of guys tried to beat up my brother (who worked under me), and I was the supervisor trying to break it up. I sent the guys home and they called me a stupid white bitch and told me I better not be running the next job they were at. I called them ratchet and told them to go back to their ghetto until they learned respect. I got fired by HR for not acting appropriately. This was this past March. Hence why I'm dancing again.

    I'd like to add that I was there since 1998, I never called out unless I was in 2 feet of snow. I worked the day of my grandmas funeral. I went to work with a cracked rib, pneumonia, numerous eye infections and kidney infections. But fired because I was threatened and it turned into a race war.

    I got fired for accusing another employee of sexual harassment. I was 21 years old at the time, and figured the law was on my side when the douchebag of a bartender decided to pull down his pants in the walk-in cooler while I was changing out a keg. Then he started dry humping my ass. With his dick out. He was so gross and old and fat. Ew. It happened in so fast, I totally freaked out.

    I was seriously upset, and doing my best to not start crying right there. The assistant manager on duty (who was a middle aged man) was not sympathetic. He told me to get over it. I threatened to call the police and report the sexual assault. He told me to clock out and go home. I was fired the next day for not finishing my shift.

    This was at a national restaurant chain owned by Darden. I did call the police to see what could be done about the assault, but since there were no witnesses, it was his word against mine. And the bartender was drinking buddies with management, I decided to not press charges.

    I filed for unemployment. My claim was disputed by the restaurant, so I had to go to a claim hearing. I explained what happened. Darden sent the area manager to my hearing (I'd never met him before), and I was denied unemployment because I hadn't pressed charges against the bartender who assaulted me.

    I basically got fired because the bartender at that job was a rapist. That was the first time I seriously considered becoming a dancer. I figured if I had to put up with this kind of behavior from men, I may as well get paid for it.

    I landed a job at a wedding dress shop shortly after that, so it would be several years before I ever became a dancer. But I had made some calls and visited clubs as a customer in the weeks during my unemployment hearings. The world is so much better now. Back in the early 90's it was next to impossible to win a sexual assault/ harassment conviction, especially if there were no witnesses or physical harm that required hospitalization.
