Business owners, why has an employee had to be fired?

our slash ass credit by reddit and chill business owners of reddit what's the most obnoxious reason an employee quit had to be far over pawn shop employee stole $400 from the cash register then realized that there were video cameras he had no idea where the security footage was stored so in order to cover his tracks he said the store on fire he actually ended up getting pretty badly burned in the process and went to jail right after the hospital I guess you could say he got fired twice that day oh then smoked him had a guy who we hired who showed a lot of potential sales he was a little arrogant and had a good-sized ego but wasn't enough of a problem he was very good at sales and eventually it went to his head he started showing up late all the time leaving early cutting corners where he could the final straw came when he showed up late and someone spoke up about it denim he decided the best choice of words he could yell were I make the most sales and I have the biggest dong sir you can all duck off he was fired on the spot customers thought it was pretty funny though in his defense if he was making more sales with half the amount of time and meeting quotas idk if I would have cared had him but I will defied him for saying that so whatever yeah we do lessen things slide when someone sells around but this wasn't something we could excuse lol I used to learn a bakery and a woman quit because she blamed her yeast infection on a bad batch of yeast I bought from China I may be a guy but I don't think that's how it works depends on what she's using for a breadbox Oh bread box with Sandra Bullock she might have just been trying to get a rise out of you the company I work is a contractor for a giant corporation and we go to different stores to do work but this new guy we hired seemed normal at first but it turned out he was a complete ducting idiot so one day he goes on site with one of the senior employees to shadow him this genius thought that because we did work for the giant corporation we could just eat anything off the shelves and from the refrigerators free well employee saw this and was like WTF are you doing you need to pay and manager comes this guy then started fighting with the manager then gots in his car after and drove off needless to say his ass was fired the next day now he has some food for thought you leave now sounds like me seemed normal at first but it turned out he was a complete ducting idiot medical clinic an employee told a patient he wants to know what she tastes like doesn't get much worse not many exit interviews start with we really hope that was just sexual harassment but we're gonna inventory the samples just in case yep when sexual harassment is the least concerning explanation my friend's father is a nurse in the or he had a patient who was getting a mass removed from her underarm breast area geniusness takes a medical marker and write solid call me with his cell phone number on her breast while she was under anesthesia I used to manage a store in the mall one of my employees I'm pretty sure was cheating on her husband with a mall security guard I would come by on my days off and he'd scurry out in a fluster I never mentioned it but the guy was coming by all the time to the point that it was keeping her from doing her job finally we had a work meeting and I said in a very non accusatory way something like this I know it gets slow in here during the week and I'm guilty of it myself but from now on I need everyone to keep personal visits to a minimum or during your lunch break she stands up and starts screaming at me how dare I accuse her I'm a Beach she quits she continued to call me and leave me harassing voicemail for a while - geez I feel like I would have only acted that way if I were doing quite bit more than just a personal visit a damn Oh to be the board employee half-listening because it doesn't apply to them best meeting ever for them more cops get chicks tool-and-die shop owner here one of our machinist would go out for lunch and slam back three four beers every day when I found out I told him he can't drink beer at lunch he said it was his time and what he did at lunch was his business not mine the next day he came back from lunch smelling like beer I let him go on the spot a few years later he showed up in my office asking for his old job back he said that he was an alcoholic back then and was sorry for his behavior he was now sober and needed a job I hired him on the spot and it worked out great for five or six years then he started drinking again and I had to let him go a second time I have no idea how he is doing now but I often wonder he was a great machinist and a nice guy when he was sober he was a great machinist must have been to liquid lunch on the regular and have still 10 fingers definitely I'm not even sure how much three beers affected him but that's not something I could ignore if he hurt himself and had any alcohol in him I would have been ducked the second time he didn't drink at lunch but was drunk at 7 a.m. from the night before it was a shame because he had his [ __ ] together for a few years then his demons caught up with him woman was using company FedEx to deliver purses for her Etsy shop when you guys found out you should have ordered a purse to the address of the HR department then just watch her panic in confusion panic at the FedEx are yes I love their song I make deliveries not tragedies I work for a boutique hotel you know small cute expensive as an ops manager basically unless the area manager had to come in I was the law I get a frantic call of my downtime from an employee claiming our overnight guy tried to assault him I have a sigh as the guy freaking out is notorious for being a drama queen I load up the security camera on my home PC go to the time frame and holy [ __ ] our night gar legitimately lunged at his coworker and tried to strangle him luckily a desk was between them and that gave the victim time to belt instantly felt like a Don for doubting him well this is when I call in the area manager we show up at the ass crack of dawn and speak with the dude who made the attack and he claims he didn't do it we show him the video and I [ __ ] you not he responds with I don't recall the events of that evening we fired him on the spot what started the fight you ask well the victim had done extra work to make the attackers shift easier the attacker felt like this was an insult to his work ethic oh and I got multiple reference requests from similar hotels asking for a good reference I simply said I wasn't able to provide a positive reference as legally that was all I could say employee does a nice thing overnight guy you deserve to die now there can only be one overnight guy I've had a co-worker get insulted that I did extra work it was snowing and blowing outside and I arrived about an hour early figured I'd do our outdoor chores so she didn't have to when she arrived she threw a duffel bag into the wall and cussed me out then demanded to do all the next day's chores by herself I took her up on that my wife and I started a small software company 20 years ago she's the manager and does sales and HR I do the programming anyway we hired a programmer one time and the first day on the job I spent the whole with him going over our development philosophy how we do source control et Cie and then showed him an overview of our applications and how we build them along the way he was highly critical pointing out what he considered flaws in everything after lunch he goes back in to see my wife he obviously didn't know we were married we don't share surname and at work we keep pretty much to ourselves he says to my wife you know how to fix this company you need to file that other guy we still laugh about that one what do you need two mechanics for combo I really don't one of our crews was on a job and the client turned up and started losing her [ __ ] over something they'd done wrong ten minutes later a guy turns up and as he is wearing high Vista assume he is also working on the project we had this one guy who was as dumb as a bag of rocks he goes up to the newcomer and starts talking about this fat F I'm b tch who needs a good slap and how dare she complained when she obviously doesn't know [ __ ] about construction turns out the newcomer was that B H's husband oh [ __ ] they broke rule number one if you don't know who they are assume they can fire you and told proven otherwise or don't be a duck in a hole to anyone we hired someone to do video photo media work after a certain point he felt it was selling out and didn't want to do media commercially he wanted to do business stuff we asked him which role he would like if he picked his role we tried out if he didn't he would quit he decided to quit he couldn't come up with a role what kind of work is it something about the way he waited that has caught my interest outdoors tourism that's selling out to this guy for Ducks sakes nine companies out of ten have a crazy boring position in the supply chain or do mundane work that needs to be done I would kill for my same office job but in something like outdoors tourism it's literally the best of both worlds this guy is going to have regrets makes you wonder how people like that have gotten as far as they have in life he was a finisher our closer sales person was the key word sales people good even mediocre ones can usually find someplace that apprec-- it's them in spite of their other completely weird nutty totally unacceptable behaviors salespeople have the tendency to get immediate tangible results a guy just sold 100k widgets I'd just made you a million dollars they also tend to be both likable and pushy about a year ago I hired a guy who was down on his luck went against my best judgment due to the nature of my business I usually don't hire people that fit his profile out of shape poor hygiene et Cie it wasn't long before I started hearing complaints from female employees and clients turns out that he would often attempt to flirt with women and when turned down he would lose his mind and call them terrible names and insults I don't tolerate that [ __ ] so I gave him a very stern warning the very next day I found one of my sweetest female employees visibly upset upon inquiring she said that the [ __ ] had followed her home yesterday to make sure she got home safely then showed up this morning to escort her to the office she was genuinely scared I called him into my office and told him to scram he threatened to file a complaint with the Department of Labor for discrimination against men who have an innate need to protect women didn't matter told him to beat it and now I'm fighting the stupid claim with the doll once you're done that with that hearing and easily win I'd be tempted if I were you to take him to small claims court to offset any costs you can rationalize from this fiasco I wonder if dudes crazy enough to be the next workplace shooter though because then it might not even be worth it edit I am ducking blown away as to how this turned into a gun and gun laws argument Yael got so triggered by the words shooter and gun and should honestly take a long hard look at yourselves and why you start useless arguments on the Internet I understand given the current situation in the world especially the United States why that question may arise in someone's mind but I refuse to be bullied by petty small-minded people who see themselves as somehow better than the rest of the world I used to do some consulting work and hire a woman to help out mostly clerical stuff and whatnot I flew down to st. Thomas for a meeting and got a call from son at all at 1030 p.m. she had keys to my building but didn't know about the alarm basically she and her boyfriend brought another couple down to have a foursome in one of my offices I had converted to a bedroom where I could crash if I worked late so I called her she answered mid-coitus and acted normal albeit a little tipsy I talked about a few mundane details I needed to relate to her anyways and then mentioned to make sure she only was ever at the office between 700 and 700 p.m. since there was a silent alarm that that would call me with audio of activities in bar building when I got back in town her keys were sitting on my desk I guess she ducked up and down probably sideways to I fired a guy because he said he couldn't come to work because it was raining and he had just washed his car the day before I had an employee call off because it was raining and his car didn't have windshield wipers so that was a brand new excuse for me so I let him have the day off once you can't drive without them it's basically a death sentence if you try and it's actually raining it's something obviously depends on the situation if it makes you feel any better I legit had this problem once before and the boss was trying to called laughs but there was nothing I could do I couldn't see with the rain coming down a friend's and I had a version of this problem while on a road trip his windshield wipers just quit and we had to get home before the next morning because we had classes that they make rain-x or something that repels water but you know you still have to drive to get it had a guy on a location fake an injury now mind you he did him to himself severely accidentally but that wasn't his plan his plan had been to fake a minor injury and get put on workers comp the problem was he screwed up how to do it and ended up hurting himself severely you asked how did you know he was trying to fake injure himself well that's very easy to explain we had a 20-minute tape of him hiding behind one of the trucks on the work site practice in his fall then a written confession from friends saying that he'd been planning it since the day we hired him was his plan to only get a little run over his plan was to twist his ankle and one of the small gufa sized holes on the location instead he tripped over a clearly marked line of pipe and impaled himself on another piece of pipe it apparently screwed up his intestines pretty badly coma faked a minor injury coma impaled himself yep Bill's always been an overachiever not my business but my dad's he had predominantly people with criminal records and literally all they had to do was inspect rental cars for damages the cars left the lot and keep their noses clean you could do pretty much anything you wanted on your down time with no complaints from my dad as long as he didn't get any complaints from the owners of the car lot one day one of the supervisors for the car lot I worked for walks out and asks me for my dad's number the supervisor had caught a guy stealing gas from the property he even had security camera footage odd happening dude was instantly fired good on your dad for hiring people who struggle getting jobs that's exactly why he did it to one of his best friends of 30-plus years and his brother were both ex-cons and struggled to get jobs plus with the exception of this guy they were all super reliable and gave him no problems everyone with no record me being probably the only exception gave him a ton of problems and went as reliable works for him well until the Boosters went under many years later I guess if you finally find a job you don't want to duck it up not a business owner but at a previous job we had issues with food being stolen from the break room fridge the company made a big stink about it and it kept happening so they very obviously installed security cameras in the break room like big ducking cameras in plain sight pointing at the fridge with our bosses being very direct about there is the camera you really want to lose your job over eating someone's sandwich few days later guy gets fired for stealing food literally on camera just grabbing people's lunch out of the fridge and eating it good there's a ducking breakroom thief at every job site in america and i think they should be held down and have gallons of milk of magnesia poured down their throats duckers edit OMG gold who'd have thought I'd get gold for such a shitty comment thank you at that point I'd be hard-pressed to figure out why he felt his job was worth less than one sandwich hot dogs don't own a business but work on employee claims and lawsuits I've told this story on here before a guy filed a discrimination complaint against the company after he got fired for stealing hotdogs from the refrigerator this warehouse big company this was not at my location kept a stock of hot dogs for employee appreciation picnics usually weekly cookouts no one knew why they were disappearing so announcements were made in all employees were asked to not eat the hot dogs and if they wanted some they could ask but couldn't have several packs that didn't work so warnings were announced finally a camera was installed near the refrigerator and he got caught red-handed he was just practically inhaling the hot dogs directly from refrigerator by the packs after he was fired he filed a discrimination claim on the basis of disability due to his weight I sent the response with a video of him eating the hot dogs also he couldn't prove his weight was a disability under the ADA and weight is not a protected class we won that claim the picture of an obese man on his knees as if in prayer in front of a fridge just eating raw hotdogs by the pack is something I never thought I would be forced to face it's been about 15 years since I've seen the video and it still grossed me out even if it was covered by the ADA the ADA only says that business have to make reasonable accommodations for disabilities like good shares or standing desks for people with back problems or specialized equipment for people in wheelchairs free range of the fridge suck down as many hot dogs as you what doesn't fall under that I think so lol at this dude for being entitled and making the aid of paperwork just that much more of a pain in the ass for the rest of us who genuinely need it but employee had corporate card charged a vacation purse fossil watch take out along with overall being miserable to work with had laptop stolen within weeks are joining farter and a few days later a watch catalog from fossil showed up at the office with her name on it have active court cases for all the theft she threw everything away for a fossil fossil genes the one that instantly jumps to mind was a woman who was fired day two of a call center training course because she wouldn't stop touching herself not sure how she got through HR screaming this was for a wireless phone company - not a chat line or anything edit since people requested details it was really somewhat sad she was late 30s early 40s and I don't think this was an employment scam or anything of the likened more likely just a mental compulsion or drugs it was really not that subtle but done under a sure scarf thing draped over hella politely and quietly asked to stop by the trainer then stopped momentarily but started up again 15-20 minutes later a blink I'm not the business owner as well it was a multinational Cork but really they don't get the best stories anyway I regret nothing thank you for calling Verizon you like that you duckin [ __ ] you don't even need to do that if you legit work at a phone sex chat line there's this thing called acting I like this one because it's so out of left field people do occasionally see thieves and Liars of their jobs compulsive [ __ ] not so common backed when I had my translation business I hired a guide to seek out contracts for me I'd paid him 20 percent finder's fee instead of sending the finished project to a client he accidentally sent naked pictures of himself I learned of it when my client forwarded me the mail half an hour later including the multiple glorious coffee shots I don't even I'd love to hear an explanation for this I had a subcontractor on a job for my company try and convince the client that they should dump me and go with their business and they would undercut me by 10 percent learned this from the client who asked me to find another person to service our contract my parents got a quote on some plumbing work they needed once from a chain company roto-rooter I think and they quoted some enormous fee in the high thousands then individually while one is talking to my mother and the other guy is talking to my father on a different area of the property they each mentioned they run their own side business and could do the work for way less I still wonder if they knew they were trying to undercut each other as well as trying to undercut their employer my parents went with someone else a guy threw a hammer at another guy for changing the radio station getting hammered at work SNH my dad owned his own business working as a color corrector / editor he had this one employee who had been there since day one and ended up becoming similar to an assistant manager when I dad owned that company for 10 plus years and just recently he had to fire the assistant manager because apparently he was telling employees and customers that my dad hates gays people who aren't white his kids his whole family that he's a terrible person etc basically driving all business away pushing my dad's company towards bankruptcy turn he was a narcissistic sociopath my dad's just sad his employees never trusted him enough to tell him about what this guy would say to them I wonder if the guy saying those things could be liable for Salonga slash libel he caused intentional damage to your dad's business reputation in his statements maybe that's worth looking into ducking like an subscribe [Music]
