19 People Got Fired On Day One of the Job

14.

I got a job at a dry cleaning place in the back. Every time i stood up, I kept hitting my head on the rack thingy. Didn’t matter how careful i was, it was always there. Pretty sure it was living and just f*cking with me. Anyway, owner told me it wasn’t working out on my lunch break.

I just got hired at Sonic Drive In. They had “secret customers” come in fairly regularly who who order and eat the food, then judge the employees and restaurant on how well they handled company policies and stuff. Well the current employees have been getting horrible grades lately. Like the highest in the last two months was 68/100. The owner walks in and says the next person who gets below a 90 is fired. So on my very first day they put me on drive thru. Which was a nightmare. And sure enough, I find out later that a secret customer rolled up. Owner comes back in at the end of my shift 8 hours later. “Who was working driving thru today? You got an 88, you’re fired” and then left. So that’s how I got fired for being the best employee there on my first day.

I got hired as a bus boy at one when I was in high school, and they wanted to fire me after my first day because I didn’t already know what to do.
