Everybody’s lost a job at some point. Almost everyone’s been fired at least once for one reason or another. My only time was a bit strange since I wasn’t technically working there – they brought me on on a trial basis and my first day there was a discrepancy with the cash count that made it appear as though I’d maybe taken $100. Unsurprisingly, they weren’t eager to hear my explanation or to bring me back in. They were also closed down like three months later, so, no big loss I guess.
Here are some more intriguing firing stories from people on Twitter using the hashtag #AndThenIWasFired:
15. Ugly sweater party
Now that’s what I call a fashion statement.
I was the computer operator for a big company in the 1980's. For a couple months the ugliest plaid fleece coat imaginable was hanging on the coat rack. Finally, I was so fed up with it I took it home and threw it in our garbage. Found it was my bosses. #andtheniwasfired #yep 😂😂

My boss: Tim, is that whiskey on your breath?
Me: What? No.
MB: I smell whiskey on you
Me: It's vodka, you uncultured swine

6. Throwing up, throwing out
Good for you, dude.
One of the guys on my team was throwing up at his desk. The CEO pulled me into his office and told me "Do not send him home. I'm not paying for another sick day". I walked out of his office and sent my guy home. #AndThenIWasFired

Jobs come and jobs go. The important thing is to try to find some fulfilling work – and stay away from jerks.
