Deciding which person to hire to work for you can be difficult, because employees are acting their best in the interview, so you can’t really know what kind of a person they truly are. Sometimes it turns out that their behavior in the workplace is unacceptable and employers have to lay them off.
Reddit user GravyxNips was curious what were the craziest reasons bosses had to fire their employees. They received over 9k responses and all of those reasons for firing people seemed quite justified. Among other things, these employees were fired because of stealing, being irresponsible, or making people around them feel uncomfortable.
Don’t forget to upvote the stories that you thought were the craziest and comment if you've had any similar experiences!

Had to fire my own brother from our distribution "company". Really was not easy and defintely caused family fights. He had been using our product so much so that we lost half our stock.
To be fair he got over it in about half an hour, we were 7 and 5 selling candy to fundraise.

I'd have to go with the guy who in the span of 24 hours...
Started a fist fight with another employee (on camera, with witnesses) then called the police and said the other guy did it, trying to press charges. I just sent the video.
Trespassed on the property the following day and slurred at my boss (on camera, with witnesses), then called the police and said my boss did it. I just sent the video.
Hurt himself somehow and went to the hospital, where he told the doctor he'd been attacked at work. Doc found no injury consistent with his story and well yeah, camera...

This sounds like legit medically diagnosable narcissism (genuinely believe they are the victim in all scenarios and can lie with a totally straight face. )
Dynein 4 years ago
Nah, narcissism alone doesn't explain this. The core of that are feelings of grandeur and an egocentric world view. The victim complex and lying are more a symptom of that. Same for the bad treatment of others - intentionally harming people isn't part of narcissism as such, but intentionally putting yourself first at all times (and therefore backstabbing and cutting down other people as deemed necessary) is. This sounds less like that and more like he wanted to set them up to press charges and get money out of them.... in a reeeaaaally stupid way....

News Flash: Nurses (and doctors!) are...wait for it...HUMAN BEINGS! With all the same human traits - happiness, sadness, jealousy, anger, fear - as the rest of us. There could be any number of reasons for the woman's behavior. And with the stress of working 12 hour shifts, and the absolute craziness that happens in an ER (A&E for European Pandas), there's a gazillion possibilities, not to mention what health care workers have been through with the pandemic going on. I hope someone got this woman some help, or at least notified the authorities!

The one running away was acriminal pretending to be a nurse, the one chasing her was an investigator who uncovered the plot to overcome the hospital and turn it into a meth lab.

I'm training a new girl. We're sitting at a computer together. The whole time I'm training her, she's scanning the perimeter around her. She's asking about this guy. Is he single? What about that guy? She's paying very little to no attention to what I'm telling her about, you know, the JOB. She's not even looking at what I'm doing as I'm demonstrating the work to her. She's rubbernecking every male who walks past.
At first I was nice. Ok did you see what I just did there? Now when this happens, we do that.
Etc etc. Her eyes were glazed over, she wasn't absorbing anything, I could tell.
Nice wasn't working. After a time, I said to her very sharply, "Are you here to work, or are you here looking for a boyfriend? Because if you're not here to work, I'm going to need to find someone else for this job (I had hiring authority)".
That snapped her into reality for about 15 minutes. I finally said it's break time. She smiled and said, "I'm going to go up to the 4th floor and see if there's any fresh meat up there."
After break time, I sent her into the fax room to collect some faxes I needed. The mail guy was in there changing rolls of fax paper. He came out of the mail room and said I think there's something wrong with your new girl. He was very nervous. I said what happened.
Apparently she was in the fax room which tended to get hot because of all the machines in there. She had perched her a** up on the edge of the table, hiked her dress up to where her underwear was showing, arched her back, unbuttoned the front of her dress, and fanned herself with the sheaf of fax pages and said, "Oh, it's just so...HOT...in here." Yeah. Like that. Like the opening of a p****.
I totally believed him. I believed she did that. 100%, she totally did that.
I called her temp agency and said she's not working out. I think this was under 2 hours.

Not too crazy. More stupid than crazy. One of the programmers on my team was sitting at his desk looking at p***. And this is cubicle land. No offices. My Director walked into the area to talk to me and saw it. Then it was the first thing he told me about, so I got up and walked over for a look myself and there it was. Me and the Director looked at each and I said I gotta take care of this. So we walked back to HR, I told them what was going on and what we saw and they told me to fire him. So I did. He lost a $110K job for looking at p*** on his computer at work.

Not my personal experience, but one fellow contractor had a safety guy for 6 months. One weekend he took a trip out of town for non work related reasons. But used the company truck, and charged it all on the company credit card. On his way up there he ran a random person off the road, who just so happened to be one of the owners of another contractor who works closely with the one who employed this guy. Shortly after he was fired and I'm sure criminal charges were being brought against him. A couple weeks later his wife calls his former employer saying he had called her randomly and killed himself in his truck on the side of the highway. Me and another colleague went searching for records of this guy, couldnt find anything no claims of a suicide in the local paper where he supposedly killed himself at. Thought it was wierd but whatever. It turns out this guy falsified all his qualifications and job experience. Fast forward a month later, and I heard through the grapevine that the original contractor who had employed this guy recieved a call from some contractor across country because he applied for work there and put them down as his previous employer. He faked his own death to get out of trouble with the company then proceeded to put them down on his resume not expecting anyone to check his references lol.

Fired a guy for looking to pay someone to cast black magic on the owner and the owner’s family to bewitch them into giving him a raise and, ironically, never firing him. Only reason I found out was because he asked someone else in the office for help in finding a witch doctor to cast the spells and word got round. No one wanted to be in the same room as him after that.
When I confronted him he said the devil made him do it so it wasn’t his fault. I live in the Middle East. I definitely did not wake up expecting to fire someone for black magic that day. Side note: practicing black magic is literally a death sentence here.

I worked at a pet store, and was the lead cashier so I had to train this girl who didn’t think she had to abide by the uniform because it’s just(store name) and doesn’t count as a real job. That was a warning that despite her thinking she did need to follow the uniform rules. Then when ringing up customers she actually told customers they couldn’t buy certain items because we were running low and she planned on getting a pet soon and wanted these items. I apologized and rung them up. Second warning with me explaining how that’s not how it works and she could shop when she’s off the clock. Finally my manager fired her when she tried to steal one of the cats that were up for adoption after being told she needed to wait for approval after they do a home visit and make sure she can care for the cat. Her excuse for trying to steal the cat? Her landlord doesn’t allow pets so she wouldn’t be approved and she’d be a much better pet parent then anyone who else who wanted the cat and much better than any of the customers we got. The girl didn’t even last a week.

When I was working at Burger King, our restaurant manager was away on maternity leave, so we had someone from another store come in over that time to fill the role. He ended up hiring someone who had worked there 5-6 years previously (high turnover, so a lot of hiring/leaving), the few staff that had known her before she’d left hated her, but had no idea why she left. She even passed all the checks from head office before she was hired. Restaurant manager comes back about a month after she’s been hired, takes one look at her, and RAGES. Like my RM is yelling at this girl, she’s yelling at the manager that hired her, and all the crew that had known her when she was here last. Obviously none of us knew what was going on, but it turns out this girl hadn’t left, she’d been fired, and management at the time hadn’t told anyone that, just that she’d quit. This girl had scammed BK by pretending to be pregnant (fake ultrasounds, plans, baby shower, the whole lot) and then took paid maternity leave so she could go work somewhere else, because it was seasonal work with better pay, with the idea of having a job for the off-season to come back to. I have no idea how she got through the head office checks, but she was fired that day. (Super impressive when you consider that I’m in New Zealand, so getting fired is usually a month+ long process here)

I am a chef at an upscale restaurant, the sauté cook has a lobster dish on his station that involves a technique called deglazing that involves alcohol so in turn the pan catches on fire briefly and flames up. When you do it correctly (hard to do it incorrect) the alcohol is cooked off and the flame goes out. Every time he made this dish he would deglaze the pan, catch it on fire and then blow it out, blowing his own germs and nastiness all over someone’s food and everything in the blast radius. That was a week ago. Fired him after he did it multiple times after being asked not to. Maybe it’s because of the current state of affairs, but I couldn’t believe a trained cook would do that.

A guy told a female co-worker he wanted to take her newborn baby home with him to “inspire” his wife to have one. Dude was creepy as f*** before that, but the complaint she made to management was what got him cut loose.

I was a bartender/bar manager. This guy came in one night and said he was an aspiring DJ and asked if we would consider hiring him to come in just on Sunday nights to DJ for us. He said we wouldn’t have to pay him at first, he would just take tips and we could renegotiate after he helped to build up our Sunday night crowd. He lasted less than 3 months. He drove away so much business and I got SO many complaints. He played the same songs every week and when people made requests (for commonly known songs), he had no idea who they (the musicians) were. I had to fire someone who was working for free. He was a nice guy, which is the only reason he lasted as long as he did.

Oooh, if this is in SoCal I think I know the guy. Like a friend. I had to take some space after I got him a paying weekend gig (it was at a weekend retreat he wanted to attend, so he got the retreat weekend along with food and lodging in addition to getting paid to spin). He didn't prepare for it, he only played the music he wanted to play (80's euro house/techno), insulted everyone for being stupid in their music requests (even though we had an explicit discussion about the type of music to be played and he said he was good with that and not playing obscure techno), he didn't bring his glasses so he couldn't see what he was doing, he hadn't bothered to name any of his tracks so he couldn't actually find any music that was requested, he didn't bother mixing so it was one song would end then a minute or two to find another song ...

Maybe he just had good taste in music. A lot of the really popular stuff is total garbage. Still, no reason to only play the same set every week.

It doesn't matter. You aren't there to educate the crowd. You are there to entertain them, create a mood, encourage sales. "Sweet Caroline" is a creepy AF song, but the pianist would play it every Sunday afternoon bc that's when the softball team was there. They would do a sing along and someone would invariably buy a round of drinks for the entire bar and then ppl would buy more drinks. Play to your audience.

OP is a general contractor, in charge of multiple subcontractors (carpenters, plumbers, etc). One of those subcontractors tried to steal from the job by taking the money which needed to be paid out for services and running off with it. As a clearer example: GC hires a plumbing contractor to install pipes (for X amount), plumber hires an excavation guy to dig the trench. Rather than pay the excavation guy from his bid amount, the plumber tried to keep the money.

My contractor's sub took a rented lift from one job and illegally towed it to my house for the job here, then left it for 3 months... We only found out later when we complained about it being here and the contractor went to return it only to find out it had been reported as stolen. Also the sub wasn't paying his workers and we only discovered this after they complained to us because they were told we weren't paying the subcontractor.. It was such a cluster f. We ended up firing both the sub and later the contractor and finishing the job ourselves.

This appears to be two separate stories. In the first one, the employee lied about his ex having died but then she called the office to talk to him - so he got caught in the lie. He probably wanted a week off for fun but didn't have any vacation time left. And the second one was a pair of twins thinking they could take turns at the job only one was hired for. Not very bright, especially if one of them wasn't actually qualified to do the job.
