You're fired and Work: Scapegoat

Scapegoat

By McFired - 23/03/2009 12:08 - United States

Today, I got fired from my job for harassing customers over the weekend. I didn't work over the weekend. I left my nametag there on Friday and my co-workers thought it would be funny to wear my nametag all weekend. One of them got into a fight with a customer and they took her 'name' down. FML

Today, I finally got my nametag. I had been using other people's names like Maria and Caie for a week, so I was happy to be called my own name. I put it on and got to work. Ten minutes later, I was called into the office. I got laid off. I got to wear my nametag for 10 minutes. FML

Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML

Today, I got fired from my job. I caught a customer taking pictures up my skirt, and my boss fired me for calling the police and "making a big deal out of it". FML

Today, I worked my job then went home to enjoy my weekend. An hour later, I was called and told I was fired, without any reason given. I can’t even empty my locker, as they'd said they would mail my things to me. FML

Today, someone came into the store I work at, laughed at my name on my name-tag, and left without even buying anything. FML

Public freakout

By selfdefense - 12/10/2009 04:16 - United Kingdom

Today, a customer at work became violent and started hitting me and my coworker. Not wanting him to get the shit beat out of us, I used a move that pinned the guy on the ground. The police came and he was arrested. I was then fired for assaulting a customer. FML

Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML

Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML

Customer relationships

By UnemployedGirl - 02/07/2021 19:59

Today, I assisted a customer at work. She was asking me all sorts of stupid questions and acting like an entitled, spoiled brat. When she left, since I had a mask on, I meant to mouth, "Stupid bitch" but I blurted it out loud. Everyone heard. I was fired. FML

You can easily prove your innocence. Now if you tried that and still got fired, then it's a FYL.

lol, whatever. This is lame. Boss: You're fired! You: What? Why? Boss: A customer complained about your behavior this saturday! You: I didn't work this saturday! Boss: YOU'RE FIRED! You: I didn't clock in, you can check. Boss: It doesn't matter! You shouldn't be so rude to customers! Fired! Seriously, you're full of crap, man. There's no way this situation could work out with your boss not getting what happened. Fake.

some places take action before they hear your side of the story. its not fair, but then again neither is life. and in some states you can be fired without reason if your under a certain age or if you've only been working their for a short period of time.

The only way I could see this happening is if your boss thought you just showed up to work on your days off with absolutely nothing better to do, to torment customers. Seriously? Doubt it.
