Everything in this life, both good and bad, sooner or later comes to an end. Everything, including our work - and no matter how good we are as employees, we still sometimes have to face a pink slip. Yes, layoffs are the norm of modern life, and what is even more offensive is that unfair and strange layoffs are also gradually becoming the norm...
And it's no surprise that when the user u/JavaMamma0002 asked "Why did you get fired?" on the AskReddit community a few days ago, the thread almost immediately went viral, racking up over 16.3K upvotes and nearly 10.3K various answers. So please feel free to read this list of weird and sad stories of dismissals carefully collected for you by Bored Panda!

For doing my job too quickly and sitting down the rest of the time. Gas station cashier 3rd shift.
Me: “Why should I stand when I’m the only person in the store?”
Manager: “It’s more professional to stand than sit”
Me: “then why do you sit in your office?”
LilliVB 2 years ago
And idiocy. Why standing up should look more professional? To whom, as there's nobody at the gas station except the employee?

I once told a pregnant woman behind a counter to sit down - she looked so relieved. She could still do several tasks I needed. Where's the issue?
StrangeOne 2 years ago (edited)
Which reminds me of a really f****d up injustice of a firing. I had a friend who worked at a 7/11. She was pregnant and put on night shift. Someone came in to rob the store at gun point. She just gave them the register. She was fired the next day, apparently for aiding the robbery and 7/11 managers and owners of that location didn't give 2 flying f***s she was pregnant and working alone at a dangerous hour, in a dangerous neighbourhood.

Reminds me of a chef I used to work with. I used to work a double on sunday and an open on Monday. I'd be a bit tired having been stuck with a clopen shift. I sat down on a milk crate for a few minutes and she jumped all over me. This beeyoch never worked a single closing shift in three years. I was so happy when she got fired for using the N-word on one of our shift managers. Go spread misery somewhere else.

I used to work midnight shift for a gas station. I'd finish all of my work early and then sit on the counter reading books for hours on end until/unless a customer came in. Apparently, I drove the corporate people nuts who reviewed video, but since I was the only one willing to do midnight shift, my manager left me alone.

When I worked at the airport as an aircraft fueler, we had a new manager transfer from another airport. I guess he decided he was going to be the new sheriff in town and lay down the law. He yelled at us for sitting down and doing nothing but watching tv and playing on our phones. We all questioned him wondering what the heck we were supposed to do. If we don't have a plane to fuel then what?? It's our only job? He turned out to be a pretty cool dude after he settled down lol

I was denied a raise by HR after consistently working 60-70 hours weeks, and my VP (who had supported and requested the raise for me) told me to stop putting in the extra time, work my 40, and spend that extra time applying to new jobs. Within a month, a meeting was called to "mutually part ways" because my work wasn't getting done.
I was gratified to learn that they had to hire two people to do my job after I left.
Edit: Sucks to see how much this resonates with people who have been in a similar situation. I left this job back in 2015, thankfully. The VP is no longer there either, and good for him.

I'm a very loyal and meticulous worker... to a point. If it doesn't get rewarded, I work to the rule. Exactly what is in my contract and that's it. No extras whatsoever. I do believe you need to put it some effort. Nothing comes from nothing. But I expect to see results pretty soon. My current employer sees that and treats me well. They got my very best. I'm fast. I can do the job of two people without even doing overtime. For a price. You'll get a free trial, but then you better pony up. I'm not Netflix. You can't just make a new mail adress and give it another go. You get one round, if you don't like what you see enough to pay for it appropriately, I'll find someone who does

Been there. Not fired, but burnt out and gave a month notice (was in a financially secure place at the time so planned some time off). They hired two people and I actually temped for several months. I went back to visit (was still friendly with people there), and my former boss brought me in her office and started crying because she was so overwhelmed. Hence the temping. They blamed her for me leaving and she eventually left after 25+ years. Not that I am a great employee, but I do actually care about what I do and work hard.

I quit after I applied to the manager position at my company and was denied...for the third time. I asked why I was denied after the 3rd time and they told me I wasn't qualified. I had worked for this company for almost 2 years and had done the manager role for over a year because they couldn't find someone to take the role. So I was unqualified for a job I was already doing. Bye!

When your vp tells you to apply for other jobs, it means they are going to fire you and are being nice enough to give you some time to find something else. When you showed no sign of leaving on your own, they fired you. Basically, they gave you a month’s notice.

I asked the CNA I was working with to stay with a confused patient, while I went and put a new IV in another patient.
The CNA left the patient alone.
She fell out of bed and got a big bloody skin tear on her arm.
After I took care of that, I went and found the CNA and told her the patient was injured because of her insubordination.
The CNA cussed at me, and left the unit.
I did not see her again that shift.
She and another CNA decided on their own to trade assignments.
I wrote the CNA up.
The CNA went to mgmt and lied about me. She said I called her by a racial slur and yelled at her.
I did neither.
Mgmt fired me rather than deal with a false claim of racism.
I collected unemployment.
The CNA did something similar with another nurse a couple of weeks later, and was fired.
My mgr asked if I could be rehired. HR said no.
When my mgr quit to start her own nursing agency a year later, she hired me.

If you're able to collect unemployment, that means the employer was found to be in the wrong by unemployment and they have to answer to them. It think companies get fined if they unfairly fire someone. I think. Hopefully.

At different times, Steve Jobs and Phil Jackson, Walt Disney and Michael Bloomberg also fell prey to dismissal. What can I say - Oprah Winfrey once lost her place as co-anchor at the six o'clock news because the producers did not like her manner of presenting information. So in any case, dismissal can often be not a step back, but a signal for a leap forward.

Was on the edge of a serious burnout and had a sick leave for two weeks. The day I returned, I got fired. This all after I had pretty much given my all for 1,5 years working 10-14 hours every single day, working from home and not having a private life at all. That’s how I learned that you should never give too much at a job. It’s just a job and they won’t thank you for anything at the end of the day…

Yup, you have learned a valuable lesson in life ; give most employers a proverbial inch and they WILL take a mile ; f**k 'em, do the bare minimum unless you either get paid a shed load of money or enjoy what you do. Never work for a bad employer, if you do, start looking for another job and leave as soon as possible : also, if your new employer asks why you left, tell the truth, if your ex employer was an arsehole your new employer will most likely have more respect for you if you have stood up for yourself.

After working a minimum of 55 hours (regularly 60+) a week, over 7 days, for nearly 2 years (missing so much of my kids school stuff), I handed my notice said I was grateful, wished them the best. Got genuinely asked by the MD if it was because I "wanted more hours" - like no dude, I NEED less, I'm doing 4 people's jobs, I'm paid sh*te and treated like an incompetent non-entity by the new managers who reside so far up your ar$e that I can see their face when you yawn!

I was a brand new Engineer out of college. Like green. I got a job offer at an aircraft factory (Cessna, a Textron Company) as a Quality Engineer. I had been an intern for 3 years and they helped put me through school. I worked in a _Projects_ group designing new floor layouts and how these business jets flowed through the process. I had always received good performance reviews and that is why my internship turned into a scholarship and into a job offer.
When I started full-time, I was assigned to a facility across town that did sheet metal stuff. I remember walking into the office on my first day, introducing myself to my new manager. She immediately turned away, refused to shake my hand and ignored me.
The next 6 months were the same. She legit would not speak to me, would not give me projects, would not schedule one-on-ones to give any direction, and if I was on an email chain and she was looped in, she would take me off. I would walk over to her and she would hunch her back and try to cover whatever she was working on so I couldn't see, as if it was some big secret. Finally I got involved in some continuous improvement projects, I was asked by our director to run with a few special projects and I started (in my opinion) really finding a groove.
Finally she pulled me into a conference room, yelled at me for 2 hours (yes 2 f*****g hours) about how I was not doing the things she wanted me to do. She gave me a self-help book and told me I needed to read it and tell her what was wrong with myself and she terminated me without HR or anybody else knowing.
To this day, I never knew what her problem was or why she hated me from the moment I introduced myself. I have a wonderful and successful career and currently manage quality for 4 factories in a Swedish conglomerate - and if I ever see her again I will tell her how I have modeled my management style after promising myself I would never be like her. My employees always know:
* What is expected of them
* How they know if they are succeeding
* Where they can go for help if they are not

By the way, very often the reason for the dismissal of really good employees is the incompetence of the manager. For example, business coach Marcel Schwantes, analyzing the reasons why managers lose experienced staff, cites the following main factors: unwillingness to recognize the unique abilities of subordinates, inability to communicate with the team, unwillingness to share information, manual team management, inability to listen, removal from subordinates, obsession with one's own ego, as well as simple indifference to staff.
And then the company often suffers from rash decisions made by the boss. A great example is this post of ours, about a new hotshot manager who didn't like an "inflexible" employee who had been working almost since the company was founded. The manager eventually got him fired, but did not take into account that this employee's contract provided for a hefty termination fee. The result was, as you might well guess, another layoff soon after...

I almost got fired for having to go to the hospital. I was on the phone with work, barely able to speak as my lungs were filled with phlegm and infected, high fever, high heart rate, pounding headache, muscles killed. HR was begging me to come in complaining how busy they were. Waaa waa. Of course it's a call centre and I sounded like I was on my death bed. I put my foot down and spent the night in the hospital, paid $30 for a note for work, that HR declined to accept. Spent the next week home. Apparently I was supposed to go in that initial day to fill out a sick leave form. ... Oo I.. I can't. Wasn't fired but forced to go from 5 to 3 shifts a week, drastically reducing my income and putting me in debt. Still sounded terrible when I went back to work. All the Team Leaders did was whine how bad I sounded. One told me to "stop it". Another tried sending me home for coughing, when I wasn't coughing. Someone else was. I hated that toxic sludge place. It was a big market research company.

I refused to come in 15-20 mins early unpaid for my shift. I was always 5-10 min early but they decided they wanted me there earlier. I carried on as normal as I’m not coming in if I’m not being paid. Turned up for a 12pm shift at 11:49, no one would look at me when I arrived then was thrown in a meeting and fired for being “late”.

My sister was sent home from work due to her having a fever and losing her voice. She was also red in the cheeks and they thought she might have Slapped Cheek Syndrome which is dangerous to pregnant people. They sent her home as there were pregnant people in the office. They then give her a written warning for sickness despite her saying she could stay and work.
In any case, dismissal, no matter how unreasonable and unfair it may be, very often becomes a difficult test for our psyche and self-confidence. To better deal with this problem, HR experts recommend, firstly, getting the reason for dismissal in writing, and secondly, asking for an exit interview. "When you learn about your firing, ask your employer to write you a letter of termination. Make sure they include the reason why they are letting you go," Indeed writing team notes in the dedicated material. "This can be a useful document to have if you suspect a union or contract violation. Likewise, if a future employer asks about your termination, you will have documented proof of the reasoning."

I got fired once for putting in my 2 week notice.
The only other time I've gotten fired was working for a trade company, during the first week. I was a supervisor, and there was a second supervisor on site. I got a call that my wife had been rushed to the hospital, which was literally less than a mile away. I asked the other supervisor if I could go to attend to her, and he said "sure, no problem, I've got things here. Go." I returned to the job site later to find the boss there, and he let me go on the spot for leaving the team "without a supervisor". He knew what had happened, and still fired me. I won't lie, that one kind of pissed me off.

The first one actually makes sense in some cases. Depending on the reasons he was leaving and the type of job. Potentially not enough work to justify him being there so why keep him? No need to train/handover so same thing. Maybe they were worried he was disgruntled and may sabotage the business during that two weeks and so on. Heck some places have to pay a couple weeks severance pay when they fire you. So maybe his boss was actually giving him a sneaky gift of two weeks paid holiday. As for the latter, I'd like to know what happened to the other supervisor? Did he get his a*s kicked too? Where was he when the boss was firing the guy for going to the hospital? Was there some kind of safety standards they *had* to adhere to that needed two supervisors?

My Parole Officer wanted to make sure I actually had a job, so he went to my employer listed on my file to surprise visit me on the job. I did home wiring so I worked at different job sites and rarely in the office. He called me to say he was going to charge me with a violation for lying to him about my whereabouts (this could've landed me back in prison for my remaining 10.5 years sentence). The owner of the company had to speak with him and vouche for me. My Parole Office didn't charge me, but the owner sure did fire me that day. Finding a job with a felony isn't an easy thing, and it wasn't long before my PO threatened to charge me with a violation if I didn't find a job soon 🤦🏻

I was 19 and working as a janitor at a large self storage facility, where most days were filled with sweeping and mopping endless hallways of flickering fluorescent light. And when someone went delinquent on their bill (after a 3 month grace period), I would be instructed to empty their unit and dump everything in the trash outside. Once or twice it was a person who died, but otherwise it was a pretty common to see a room full of absolute junk that someone got tired of paying for. Banged-up furniture, garbage bags of ratty clothing, stacks of old magazines, it was usually pretty hoarder-friendly stuff, and not that I'd want any of it but the policy was I had to throw it into the dumpster outside no matter what it was.
One day I get notified to empty out a unit, so I grab the bin, cut the lock, fling open the gate. The room is full of huge cardboard boxes stacked to the ceiling. I open one up out of curiosity, and it's full of brand new, unopened Gundam models. The entire room is full of them, dozens of boxes with dozens of models in each, and I'm talking the $50-$100 ones I saw for sale at my local comics shop every week. The manager would check up on me once or twice a day, and that morning he walked up and I showed him all of the brand new merchandise and said there has to be a better system than trashing all of this. He said rules are rules, something about insurance I didn't understand, and told me to throw them all away.
So I went and I backed up one of the complementary U-Haul style box trucks, picked a few models out for myself, and loaded it up the truck with the rest of it. On my lunch break I drove over to the Children's Resource Center that I'd volunteered at during high school, it's a place where any child (but usually poorer ones) would go after school for arts and crafts and activities to keep them busy until their parents got home. The people at the drop-off dock were so grateful, before I even left they were handing them out to some extremely excited kids. Drove back to the self storage place with enough time to eat a sandwich and smoke a cigarette before clocking back in.
But that's not why I got fired. I got fired because the manager came to check on me that afternoon, and after awhile of looking around, found me sitting cross legged on the floor of the janitor closet with model parts spread all around me, happily assembling a sweet translucent Zaku model. I was so entranced I didn't even hear him come in, I just hear this long, drawn out, exasperated sigh. I look up and he just says "keys" and that was that. I spent the rest of the week assembling Zakus and Valkyries and lying to my parents about getting replaced with a Roomba.

So you take the stored items outside and put them gently in the dumpster, policy fulfilled. Then, since dumpster diving is legal in many places, you take them out of the dumpster and load them up. But don't play with your toys when you're supposed to be working. The firing is on you.
Isaac Harvey 2 years ago
Somehow, "getting replaced by a Roomba" sounds like something from a The Onion article or a dystopian realistic fiction novel.
Be that as it may, at the moment when you hear these ominous words "You're fired!" it is worth remembering that the real impact of this situation on your life can only be assessed years later. After all, if Colonel Sanders had not been fired several times in his younger years, he could have worked as an insurance salesman all his life, and the world would not have known the taste of KFC wings and whatnot. So just scroll this selection of dismissal stories to the very end, maybe add another one in the comments if you want, and always remember that any termination is best accompanied by the words: "I'll be back!"

Ugh. Subway. I was at one for a 3 hour shift on my first day AT LUNCH: the busiest time of any and all fast food/restaurants. Brand new employee. Subway expects new hires to be able to not just memorize every sandwich, but also be able to put them together insanely fast, correct and perfectly. Everyone knows it takes time to learn. Mainly it's "learn to do it correctly and THEN work on speed." But not at Subway. They expect master perfection within the first 45 minutes, to be able to keep up perfectly with those workers who have been there months or years already. I got taken aside by the owner not even 1.5 hours into the shift and was told even though I'm very friendly and super customer oriented, I'm just not fast enough and would never be fast enough. I got fired and sat in my car for a little bit crying. Didn't want to leave with tear blurred eyes since I had a 40 min drive home ahead of me. I've heard too many similar stories from other ex-sub workers, sadly.

Not sure you'd win. Lots of placing have policies about what you can and can't put on your social media. Posting pics of violations would definitely violate that policy. Assuming they wanted to keep the job they needed to send the pics direct to the health inspector and preferably anonymously.

My only time getting fired, I was 13-14, working at a go kart track. I had been there about a month when I was left alone for a solid week to take care of the track as the other 2 track attendants sat around smoking, drinking, and chatting with the boss. I ran it flawlessly and had no issues. My first day off after working like 12 days straight I got called in, I showed up within 5 minutes aaaand they fired me saying that all I did was sit around and make the other guys run the track. They literally accused me of doing what the other guys were doing. I slammed that place so hard to everyone I knew and they went out of business within the next 2 years.

This is literally child labour, we have laws in the UK dictating that children cannot work more than a certain amount of hours a week - When a child turns 13, they can begin part time work but with strict restrictions in place. Workers between the ages of 13 and 14 are allowed to work a maximum of 12 hours per week during the term. On school days they can only work for a maximum of 2 hours and this applies to Sundays too. They can work up to 5 hours on Saturdays and 8 hours when they reach 15.

Yep, I had colleagues who were taking looooong breaks for cigarettes, their lunch break was not 1 hour as per policy, but always between 1.5 and 2 hours. We were working as support representatives, so I was taking the cases, just sitting on my desk. At the beginning of the next year my manager told me I'm not getting yearly bonus because my colleagues said I'm spending too much time on my phone and I'm not working enough.

Because my job "was eliminated". This was code for "getting rid if you and hiring someone to replace you at half the salary." Their scheme was less than a stellar success because: The person they hired was an idiot and could not do it, the customers got severely pissed, they gave me $15K severance if I promised not to sue them, I took their money and still sued them for age discrimination, and won.

My boomer manager kept insulting me, blaming me for things my coworker did and kept getting an attitude with me any time I didn't bend over backwards to accommodate her ego.
So one day she asked me why my coworker did a certain thing. I told her I had no idea. She pressed me. I said "How am I supposed to know? Explain it to me. Tell me how **I** am supposed to know what **he** did." She said "I don't know", so I walked away to keep doing my job. Next thing I heard was "You know what? Just go! Get the F**K out!"
I got un-fired by her boss a few hours later, and transferred to a better location, but being able to cold shoulder her after months of asking her nicely not to belittle me was quite satisfying.

She never had an answer, but it somehow was my fault. Stupid cow. You out there, Pam?

I'm reminded of the office job I had where we were in a locked, secure environment. The first time I went on lunch (unpaid, of course) and sat at my desk playing solitaire on the computer, here comes Boss Lady, all shocked because "that's so unprofessional!" Even when I pointed out to her that A, we were in a locked environment, outsiders couldn't come in without an appointment, and B, I was on my unpaid lunch break, she just kept insisting it was "unprofessional." Yet, if I wanted to read for pleasure during my lunch break, that was not "unprofessional." Okay...

same. so years ago, i worked for a relatively nice office. nice as in the office looked nice and the doctors were nice. front staff were not. i would sit and read on my lunch. we were required to clock out for lunch. got told i was being anti-social. so i started leaving at lunch (as other workers did) and sitting somewhere to read till it was time to come back. got told i was supposed to stay and chat. the chat was MIND NUMBING. gossip galore and i dont have any patience for that. Then i got told that i needed to let one of the ladies do makeup on me. i always wear very simple makeup. some foundation when i have a break out and a simple gloss. if im feeling fancy maybe a light eyeshadow. the manager and the girl who wanted to do my makeup were always caked with makeup. they also made comments about my smile (i have my dad's smile and im quite proud of that). i told them no, a week later i was let go for insubordination

At least you locked the door. I showed up to my store once in my day off and the guy working left the store unattended to get food. There were several customers in the store so I hopped on register and worked for like 15 minutes before he even came back! I didn't even fire him, just wrote him up for not locking the door. Learned why we had so much loss before I took the store over.

I got fired for submitting my time sheets on Monday at 8am when I got into work. By policy, they were to be in by noon on Saturday, but my Fridays ended in the field so I just did then on Monday mornings.

I was an entitled little s**t with a summer job between my junior and senior years in college.
I thought I was getting a “data entry” job. It was indeed data entry to an extent, but most of the work was actually taking items off the shelves in a warehouse and taking pictures of them. (These pictures would be scanned and then entered into a system with a description.)
I thought this was below somebody with my “obvious” skills as an engineering student (who had failed to secure a summer internship in his field). I told my boss that the work was really a two person job — the other person could do the warehouse stuff — and she agreed and said she’d look into finding another intern to help.
I took that to mean I could slack off posting on Warcraft 3 forums all day until they hired the other guy.
One day I came home to a voice mail telling me to not bother coming back.
I 100% deserved it. I hate my younger self sometimes…

My GPA was high enough to take the hit, and I just took an extra class my last semester to make up the hours, but it still sucked.

Came down with bronchitis on a Sunday. The doctor provided a doctor's note and told me to return the following Monday. They terminated me Friday.
Edit: I didn't want to share too much of my business, but people are saying I'm spreading misinformation when that's not true.
I did not qualify for FMLA.
I was sick on a Sunday, informed them Sunday. Called Monday with a doctors note with orders stating I was to return no earlier than the following Monday. My manager told me, "ok, feel better." Friday came around, and I received an email stating I was terminated effective immediately due to absences. This was my first absence. I asked if I qualified for FMLA, no. I asked if I could resign instead because I loved what I did and who I worked with, no.
You CAN be fired as an at-will employee at any time for anything. I didn't mention the illegal outcomes, as I assumed that was implied with common sense.

In high school I worked at a store similar to Home Depot. I worked in the warehouse/lumber yard. One day I was moving a pallet of Scott's lawn products in large bags and I turned around too fast and several bags of expensive lawn products split open. At that very minute the CEO of the parent company walked through the door. He glanced at my mess and went on to tour the warehouse. Then he and his entourage left, walking past me again. This time he didn't even glance in my direction. I figured I was about to get fired from my first job, but I never heard a word about it. We sold the broken bags at a really good price and I was there for another year until I graduated from high school.

I'm an electrician and I was given my final warning for having an untidy van. It wasn't great but I was told to tidy it over the weekend which I did and then still got my final warning and dismissal the following week. What really rubbed me up was that my boss was the biggest culprit for having an untidy van and I had likely learned this trait as an apprentice from him. Honestly though looking back I was probably sacked for other reasons and have since been aware that rarely are you fired for the reason that your boss want you fired for. When they want you out they'll find a reason so best to self reflect on your other failings than be pissed off for being fired over something trivial
