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, 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.

Unless you live in Arizona where it's a right to work (or something like that) state you can get them for unlawful firing. i was working at this grocery store where I was polite, never got written up, never had customers angry at me (though a few workers hated me for no apparent reason) and a lady who gave us our checks and then cashed them handed me two one week and they both had my name and everything but since I had been out of work because of an injury I figured it must be for that. Oh no the week before she had handed me someone else's check and I signed and cashed. So then I get fired for this though she gave it to me because I was untrustworthy or some b.s like that. I had no problems then idiot co-workers and some injuries and I'm untrustworthy. The b*tch who gave me the check got suspended for 3 days wow. State law means that I can be fired without an explination just as I can quit without one or something along those lines. Still haven't figured out why my co-workers didn't like me. They threw stuff literally at me and then claimed they handed it to me when there were not only witnesses but people in between us to make that difficult. One tried to get me in trouble by saying I wasn't where I should be but the manager looked up and saw me right where I was supposed to be. Another gave me attitude, expected me to skip breaks and would just give me dirty looks when I didn't do anything.
