Hiring team looking for a network guy for a state college. At the phone interview stage. Programmer guy on the team pushes the mute button on an Arabic candidate and started laughing uncontrollably while the guy is talking. He lets off the button for the next question and tries to stifle his laughter and while the guy starts to respond, programmer pushes the mute button down again and just guffaws while we are all staring at him trying to figure out wtf is so funny. Holding mute he looks up red faced with tears in his eyes he barely manages to sqeak out "WE'LL HAVE TO PUT IN CAMEL PARKING!!!!BAHHAHAHA"
everyone looks around the table, the guy realizes no one is laughing and the HR lady ends the call and walks him out. 5 minutes later security shows up with boxes and hauls his stuff out. |

The most memorable and wrong one was an old department manager. His mistake was promoting an underling to the #2 position. Old, wrinkled manager was not aware, but a woman in that department was banging the married #2. About six months after her fuck buddy's promotion, she went to HR with "she said/he said" sexual harrassment allegations against their boss. Old guy, who i doubt has experienced an erection since the1970s, was fired on on her word alone. The guy was like 2 years away from planned retirement. Her fuck buddy moved from #2 to #1.
One good result was FB's wife discovered his affair and raped him with her divorce lawyer. |

We had a guy get caught cranking off in his van at night in Boston. Customer recorded it and sent it to the media. They played it on the news, obviously edited, but still hilarious.

Back when I was slinging pizzas I had a coworker buy one of those small spy cameras and placed it inside of a glove with a hole in the tip of a finger. Said coworker proceeded to place it in between the door of a cabinet that was facing the toilet in the single bathroom used by all employees at the store. All employees that included some under age females and males. I noticed the glove and thought hmm that was weird. My boss noticed it and had more curiosity than I did at the time (I was probably running late or to the minute of needing to clock in) and pulled the glove out and discovered the camera. Pulled the usb or sd card or whatever and plugged it into the work computer and confirmed her suspicions. Boss most likely saw me tuck my Glock 30 in while I was tucking my shirt in before I clocked in??. She also saw him set it up in the glove and position it there. Fired. Arrested. (for some misdemeanor indecent filming or some shit like that, apparently he managed to skirt by not getting anyone underage on video)
I also managed to get fired the next day for a miscommunication in asking for two days off for my friends wedding that I was in. But I came back that next day after the wedding and talked my way back into work. ?? |

I was working on a big very high security aerospace program. special access and all that. One of the old guys was a fud but had no problems setting American Rifleman mags on a countertop to share for reading material, etc. Several guys were shooting in different rec shooting sports, SASS, pin matches, etc. A couple of our guys were playing at being a militia. Some of their shooting done at a local public range that had police teams practicing, etc. They used to joke about (not at work but rumors get around) "Make a run to the border." like the old fast food jingle. as the code to
go to shoot illegal aliens. One of those guys was a gunsmith, perhaps connected to a firm in Irwindale, that dealt in FALs. This guy dealt in full auto conversions on the side. One morning one of the guys we'd talked with about going out in the desert to shoot with came up to me and told me "Joe" was fired. The Feds had busted the entire group as connected to terrorism and the illegal conversions. Working at an office supply store in Hollywood, a customer came in and chatting with the floor/furniture manager asked what was up with our truck in the accident up near Universal City? Uh, say what? Driver was high and crossed the center lines and head on into oncoming traffic. we hadn't even heard from the cops yet. Have known several people who diddled the wrong things or people and lost jobs. |

Almost three decades ago I worked as an EMT for a regional ambulance service in Southern California. I picked up a few extra shifts for someone that was out on vacation. First shift I'm there another crew stops by our station for lunch after dropping a patient off at a nearby hospital. One of the EMTs from the other crew (let's call him employee A) spends his entire time there talking to the EMT I'm working with (let's call her employee B, and she is a young attractive female who is married to someone else who works for the company). The day before my next shift with employee B I get a call from employee A asking if I would be willing to swap shifts with him (same area and hours, just posted out of a different station). Didn't make a difference to me, so I agreed. I got called into management's office a few days later inquiring about the shift swap and they asked me a bunch of questions that just didn't make sense at the time, until later I learned that employee A was screwing employee B at the station, and they would routinely make shift swaps to work together so they could screw at the station. Apparently employee B's husband found out and all hell broke loose.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Showing his dick to a lady trying to report a theft. Our local mailman got fired for that. My wife's best friend would sometimes talk with him if he pulled up for a mail drop at her house. She was a pretty thing, so i cannot blame him talking to her, but that last talk, she noticed his dick was jutting up out of his open fly. She was no amused. Apparently she wasn't the only one he'd flashed. He was eventually arrested. BTW, that dude could have passed for an identical twin of Boggs from the Swawshank Redemption. I guess creeperism is genetic?  |

Had a guy at a previous job who lasted about a week. He was just a creepy dude- made all the women there uncomfortable. I guess one of them ran a BG check or something on him and discovered he was under active investigation for the disappearance of his wife.
This prompted a massive knee jerk reaction in the office and everyone’s BG got ran. Turns out the manager they’d hired a few months back was on the lam and wanted in 3 states for fraud/ embezzlement. She was also using someone else’s SSN. |

Back in the mid 1990s I worked for a very large national ambulance company. Division I worked at had an office manager that was an absolute smoke show - mid 30s type that competed in those bikini/fitness/bodybuilding contests and had big bolt-ons, perfect tan, and legs and an ass that had every guy working out of that office drooling as she walked past. She would routinely come in at 9-9:30 am, leave for "lunch" around 11 am and go work out, tan, eat out, do some shopping, etc. and return to the office around 1:30-2pm, then depart for the day around 2:30-3 pm while the rest of the office workers were there from 8-5 pm. This went on for years because her husband was very good friends with the regional director who worked out of that office. She also had an assistant office manager who basically did all the work. A few months after the regional director was transferred to another state the new regional director fired her and promoted her assistant to the officer manager job.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Navy E-3 was flying out of a very small airport close to the base in uniform. He was flying in his blues with a loaded rack of ribbons he didn’t rate. Our squadron Maintenance Officer was on the same flight and let our Division Chief know what he saw. When he returned from leave our Chief was ready for him. Instead of owning up to it, he doubled down and called the Maintenance Officer a liar. He ended up going to Captains Mast (Article 15) twice in a short amount of time before being kicked out of the Navy. I had a sergeant who was a general turd. He was in a custody battle, so I was helping him fill out some paperwork for it one day. Turns out he missed an appointment, which at the time meant a counseling statement for the first offense and Article 15 for the second (it was his first). Well, he decided to tell the 1SG that he had actually gone and they told him it was cancelled. My team chief called to tell me what had happened, and I said "no he didn't, we were in the office at that time doing paperwork." So I wrote a sworn statement and he got an article 15 for lying to the 1SG. He was also the first person I chewed out as an LT. I gave him a terrible eval (4/4, if you know what that means) noting he had no integrity, then he went to another unit and was promoted. Whatever, I did what I could. |

A cop who absolutely refused to issue a summons or make an arrest.
He had a wife, kids, house, no other source of income and he refused to take any enforcement action of any kind. He had five years on the job. I spoke to his wife, she said she would speak to him, the day I was supposed to fire him I gave him 24 hours to think about his actions and he returned and refused again. He was fired. I don’t know what happened to him. It has always haunted me for some reason because of the family. He never really gave a reason why he would not take action only excuses why he should not be required to. Spoke in circles. Made no sense. |

BD manager chick had been working at the company for a year (about as long as she works anywhere). Doable 30 something (no pics) and was on a marketing/convention trip when she met a senior manager of ours at a restaurant after the event. Manager was a late 50s Fudd who looks and acts 15 yrs older than he is, with a similar Fudd wife at home. So BD chick would have been a score for him, but his tool probably wouldn't work anyway.
After dinner, she said "why don't we have dessert in my room?" in a way that made it clear it was nookie in exchange for career advancement. He turned her down and then turned her in. She was fired the next day. I doubt she has changed her ways. She's on the Heels Up Harris career plan. Maybe she will be President one day?  Another BD manager chick (20s, hotter) took her boyfriend out to dinner and on out of town trips several times instead of attending events. Didn't even meet the clients on her calendar and they told the VP so. Took about 2 months for VP to figure it out and drop her like a sack of Joe Bidens. |

Woman was hired, worked two days, and didn't report for the any more days. No call/no show, didn't turn in her ID or anything. We chalked an outline in her cube and put up caution tape like it was a murder scene for laughs before we were 100% sure she was not murdered.
We eventually tracked down the employee's mother and convinced her to have the employee call us because it was serious business. The employee's boyfriend had received a huge promotion at work her second day with us but it required relocation so he came home, proposed, they packed their crappy apartment and left for his new territory. We arranged for someone to meet with her in her new state to retrieve her identification and sign the appropriate papers. Kharn |

Not exactly in the same line as the rest, but I fired myself.
Company procedure was, when a person left, the supervisor was to send an email to [email protected] with the person's name in the subject line. The email was automatically forwarded to IT, Payroll, HR, etc. I was working on a job site and my "supervisor" wasn't there - I kind of didn't have one at the time. It was a Friday, my last day (having put in my 2 weeks notice), and it was just me there. Finished up the turnover package for the next PM on the project, finished my paperwork, and sent the "terminated" email. Then I scrubbed my laptop of any evidence I had ever owned it (this was before IT departments started locking down user accounts), dropped it in a file cabinet drawer, left the trailer keys on the desk, and headed out. At the same company a couple years before we were all called into a meeting and told that Jerry X was starting his sentence on Monday for sexually abusing 3 sisters - 15, 11, and 8. As the PM was giving us the SOP on dealing with the press if they called, I kept on saying "Wait, hold on - OUR Jerry?" Couldn't get it through my head for a while. |

Several years ago now, a female forktruck driver (middle-aged white girl) and a male production team member (athletic black dude) had heat. No idea where it was from or what started it. It came to a head one morning in the main traffic aisle directly in front of the production offices while all of the production supervisors and process pukes watched. He yanked her right off of her fork truck (before they enforced the fork truck seat belt rules) while it was still moving and proceeded to beat the brakes off of her right there in front of the offices. They got them separated and called an ambulance for her. She would be okay and returned to work in a few days. They took him out of there in handcuffs and I never saw him again. Good times.

Just before lunch 2 security guards came and physically escorted him out of the building. The guards received a standing ovation as he was removed form the building. Maybe he thought the whole 2 weeks notice thing works both ways.

Story #1: I managed a 24 hour Hess station, and noticed hand & foot prints on the bookcase by my desk in the back room. I climbed up to see WTF was up there, and someone had chipped a peephole by the fan in the ceiling of the women's bathroom. Being open 24 hours, and being HESS (with real clean bathrooms), it got a fair amount of traffic. So when my shift was over, I left as usual, drove around the corner, and hid in the parking lot across the street...and waited. Sure enough, when the first women went into the ladies room, my assistant manager made a beeline to the back room. I ran across the street, snuck in the room, then yelled at the top of my lungs "WTF DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!?!" Of course, he about crapped himself. I made him clean the prints off of the bookcase. Then I fired him. I guess he had a thing for the top of women's heads.
Story#2: I worked retail my 1st job. We had a guy who had set up a chaise lounge on one of the top shelves in the stock room, complete with [stolen] warm sodas and [stolen] Playboy magazines. The wooden shelves went up the entire 2 floors of the place (it was a hell of a climb), and were thick with dust & gunk and goodness knows what else...and it must have been 100°F up there. He would show up, clock in, climb up to his Palace d' Funk, and spend the better part of his 8 hours there. If you met him, you would understand that this is not odd behaviour in his world. He got fired. |

Family business with hundreds of employees. (I'm family and was Dir. of operations)
An exemplary employee was arrested for sexual abuse of his 5-year-old niece. He Bonded out and showed up for work. I fired him for being late. The owner flipped out wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt - but I stood my ground and HR backed me up. He was later convicted. I never was thanked for protecting the company and the family.  |

Years ago, most all the hospitals converted from paper charting to computer charting, which meant going from timing/signing on an MAR that you'd given a particular med to actually scanning a barcode. Basically, you'd wheel your computer to the room, scan the patient's barcode, and then scan the meds (and give) as they were due. Hands down, a much better system vs paper MAR's. Of course, there was initial abuse. We could print out patient armbands, so folks were bad about printing all their patient's individual barcodes, sticking them on a piece of paper, and then scanning the meds out in the hall, or worse yet, at the desk. Everyone was told this was grounds for termination, but just about everyone got one warning. Well, this one chick on dayshift apparently didn't care. She'd already been warned once, and was told in writing the next offense would result in termination. One morning, the manager comes in and holds a staff meeting (again) going over armband scanning compliance. Everyone working that day had to sign a document basically stating they understood the policy, and what would happen if it was violated. Every. Single. Nurse. Here's the thing. The whole scanning the armband made a very specific "beep", as did scanning the individual meds. The manager's office was literally directly across the hall from the nurse's desk, and her door was only open when she was in the office (otherwise she kept it closed & locked). Manager is sitting in her office, door wide open, and starts hearing the familiar "beep" of meds being scanned. Sticks her head out the door, and sure enough, there is the same girl parked on her ass at the desk, scanning patient armbands and all her meds. Immediately fired. Literally less than a couple of hours after the staff meeting.

During Covid, folks who were able worked from home, but had to remain local in case it were necessary to make an office visit. Vacation time, pto, etc had to be approved the usual way. This chick attended a zoom meeting “from her apartment balcony” but the reflection in her sunglasses clearly showed the beach, which was hundreds of miles away. She was fired for that. |

Worked phone support for a computer company in the mid-90s... A person on my team was diagnosed as a schizophrenic. He would basically come in, clock in, go to the breakroom and play quake all day. Everyone (I think) was kinda hoping the meds would kick in. It went on for a couple of months... They did finally fire him though.
We had just set up 8 machines running dual 3DFx VooDoo IIs on a LAN. It was a kick-ass setup. We all sort of secretly hated him for the game time he was getting in.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Worked in an old commercial airport that was converted half to a private airport and half to corporate office space. Obama was flying into the city, so SS decided the private airport was easier to lock down, and had strict policies for all the office space. There was a cardboard stormtrooper cutout that people would move around at night to startle their coworkers in the morning. One guy thought it would be funny to set him up in one of the windows and make it look like the stormtrooper was aiming his gun towards the runway. Secret Service wound up shutting the whole office down, and investigated who did it. When he was fired he just laughed the whole time and said he couldn't wait to tell the story in future interviews.  |

In the film and TV industry, I have watched more than a handful of background (Extras) get tossed off of sets for trying to act like an obnixious super star.
It boggles my mind. People put a lot of effort into getting a start in the industry. they finally get a little background part and instead of just being the worlds greatest "guy at bar #3" or "man with bright T-shirt in crowd." They start arguing with directors and actors about how shit should be done.....and I am talking about big name big budget type people...world famous A list people. They get tossed out at the first sign of that. Most of these people talk shit as they are being escored off set. I once saw a guy that probably isnt recognized by his neighbors tell one of the biggest directors in the world (as he is getting his ass man handled off set) that "It wont be my fault when this movie fails, I tried to tell you....." For a little inside baseball...unless you are at the star level (with some exceptions) you are paid to act. This is the majors and as a professional, you perform as instructed. You are told that your caracter is scared or needs to speak slow but be happy ot whatever....you do that. As a pro, you have those gears to pull. The last thing you do as a bit player is start arguing over how you want to play it. |

Saw a school supervisor mechanic get fired in one day. He was moving to a new house, just bought it. He was a braggart and a show off, immature dickhead kinda person. So he brought his pistol to work. It was a nice Smith&Wesson revolver, model 27, in his toolbox “so it wouldn’t get stolen” while he was moving into his new place. Started showing it off like a dickhead clown, jokingly pointed it at one of the young bus drivers he supervised. Driver told the principle of the school he took kids to about what happened earlier that morning. Cops showed up, he knew he fucked up earlier and put the revolver in his truck out on the street. Admitted it was just a joke to the cops and school administrators who were there. Fired. Escorted off the property right then, given his check, end of story.

A guy I worked with gave our boss dog treats back in the 1980s & claimed they were “proof he was trainable…” Said screwball was admitted they were dog treats after the boss ate them, laughed maniacally & made a big scene, was then fired, escorted out by local cops & charged with “food tampering…..”
I haven’t thought about that for decades… He got fined & was in the local paper with some weird fine amount like $387.37 & we couldn’t figure how an allegedly-educated judge calculated the amount. Was it the brand or number of dog treats? Flavor? Justice was….”served,” just not in the way I would have expectorated. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was a probationary rookie cop and after the academy, I was assigned to a training squad with 5 other rookies. We had a sergeant and a training officer and would work with them until our one year probation was over. We had what I will call a racial hire in my squad. College grad. He had lots of screw ups over a few months. He was at a bar off duty one night and when he left a couple of people verbally harassed him, not knowing he was a cop. They followed his car and pulled up next to his car and displayed a gun. He rolled down his window and fired one shot into the other car, hitting the male passenger in the neck, he basically drowned in his own blood. County Attorney said it was a legit shoot. The last one involved a firearm inspection. We carried revolvers in 1974. The inspection was to open the cylinder and dump the ammunition in one hand and the open revolver with 2 fingers extending through the frame. This guy had three rounds of ammunition in his hand. Sergeant asked why he had 3 rounds instead of 6. The answer was I shot them. Let me see your what you have in your speed loaders. They were empty. How long have you working with 3 rounds of ammo? About 3 weeks. He was suspended that night. Maybe a week later my sergeant called me aside before our daily briefing and told me to follow him after our briefing. We went into a small meeting room and he told me that following an investigation this officer was going to be fired while still on probation. The sergeant asked me to stand in the corner and have my revolver holster unsnapped. He told me he was going to ask for his badge and then his revolver and if he pointed the revolver at him, to shoot the guy getting fired. I asked are you kidding. Nope! Shoot until he is disabled. My heart was racing. The sergeant told the guy he was being fired and asked for his badge. No problem. Asked for his gun. My hand was on my grip. I saw my sergeant's hand was on his grip. The kid took out his gun and laid it on the table. We had a guy that was part of a drug smuggling ring out of Savannah. We had periodic weapon inspections. Shift sgt goes down the line and inspects one at a time. Dudes turn happens and Sgt takes his gun like he’s looking at it and then walks and opens an office door for US Marshalls/DEA guys. They step out and cuff dude….bo other officer k ee what was up. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Never had anything that unusual happen where I have worked but when I was in HS the hot French teacher was caught giving the principal a blowjob at his desk when his secretary walked into his office and saw them so occupied. Yeah, she (the teacher) got fired the next day. That reminded me of the school superintendent that was caught hand hoeing his 10 acre pot plot. The odd part was this little field wasn't way out hidden, it was close to a gravel road. Folks went to jail for that in the early 70's. |

Taking an explosive booster, putting a cap in it, and then swinging it over his head like a lasso pretending to be Wonder Woman.

Quote HistoryQuoted: A&P at our hangar. Aircraft comes in for maintenance as one engine is using oil fast. Carbon seal at the rear part of the engine is shot. The exhaust cone has to be pulled to access the carbon seal. In the course of doing his work, he snaps the heads off of 8 of the 24 olts holding the exhaust cone in place. Push aircraft out to run the engine and check oil usage. On engine start, we see sparks flying out the exhaust. One guy runs up in the cockpit to tell the guy starting the engine to shut it down. Pull aircraft back in the hangar to see what the hell is going on. Well, dumbass decided instead of working a little bit and getting the broken bolts out, he decides to crazy glue the heads back on. I guess his thinking was they would be good enough to pass muster to get the aircraft out of there. Shift foreman walks up to him, asks for his badges and tells him he's fired. No questions asked. Just "Pack your toolbox up and go" When the base manager found out about it, he blew a gasket. How about a hi-lok collar formed out of body filler and painted? Plus, it was discovered by a Navy officer from out of town giving a tour, explaining to some civilian about the fastener, touched it, and the collar crumbled. I don't think anyone was caught for that one. I have another one I might write later about a guy that was married to John McDonnell's relative. He was fired twice before it stuck. Total dumbass that cost the company millions. |
