Employees that deserved to be fired

managers of Reddit what made you fire an employee on their first day I know my application said I can work anytime but really I can't work nights and weekends she was hired four nights and weekends she just left I couldn't find her anywhere called her later at her parents home and fired her mum was pissed at me I'm sorry mom but I'm not in the business of employing people that don't work for me pub bar manager here this happened at my previous pub new guys first shift and he was constantly on his phone and going for cigarette breaks without permission two hours into his shift his mates came in and he gave them all free drinks shots and snacks a few of them were under 18 fired him on the spot and he had the audacity to appeal despite overwhelming evidence against him including five witness statements and CCTV not to mention the stock count deficit well second day for this one old guy kept dozing off during training denied it when I addressed him about it and yet it kept happening fired him for it on day two fast forward maybe eight months he emails me to let me know that he really had been falling asleep and I had been justified with the action I took he realized there was an issue a few weeks after I terminated him because he fell asleep while driving and rear-ended another vehicle went to a specialist as a result and they found that the Parkinson's medication he'd started shortly before beginning training was making him narcoleptic said he had rectified that with new meds and asked for a second chance gave him the opportunity for a do-over and lo and behold he's a good employee chief officer of merchant vessel here technically second-in-command of the ship after the captain a seaman joined our ship while our vessel was birthed in Mobile Alabama he was carrying a plastic water bottle during familiarization runs on deck with the third officer and when it was empty proceeded to throw the bottle overboard by Russian captain saw this calmly asked me to call the seaman to his office gave back all his documents asked the agent to book him a flight back to where he came from all of this happened in a span of three hours guy lied about knowing how to drive forklift drove into support beam to Europeans there's no such thing as a forklift license in the US when you go to a new job you have to redo the exam again there's also no official exam so every place does it their own way I had an employee call off on her first scheduled day on her second sheduled day she showed up two hours late this was a sub shop we weren't open yet but we had been in doing prep baking bread and building our sub trays for catering orders we told her that this wasn't going to work out and she got pissed she started yelling that we were all racists a-holes and as she stormed out the door she knocked over stacks of sub trays we lost fifteen trays to her tantrum my boss went running out the door after her and the girl's boyfriend got out of the car and reached behind his back swearing and telling my female both that if she keeps stepping to them that he would stop her good we are pretty sure that he had a gun my boss checked the license plate and came back in we had all of this girl's information address firm social security et Cie from the paperwork so with that in the security footage of her destroying the trays we were able to press charges for the damage I was assistant manager at Subway I usually like to give people time it's a tougher job than it seems from the outside everyone sucks at first and taking someone's livelihood away it's not a decision to be made lightly but I had one lady who only lasted three hours she was perfectly fine for the first couple minutes while the store manager was there but she had a doctor's appointment so she introduced us and told the new employee I was in charge when she wasn't there as soon as my boss left this lady just flatly ignored me when I asked her to do stuff like food prep or dishes so I was already pretty pissed but trying to be patient when we got busy I stationed her putting veggies on sandwiches she said a few things to customers that annoyed me but nothing too bad at first then one guy asked for extra olives and she told him no he was a bit offended and asked again and she practically shouts you don't need any more olives you have plenty so I tell her to give him the olives he's asking for then she starts shouting at me about subway Standard veggie portions like I wasn't the one who taught her 45 minutes ago I tried a little to explain that it's a default amount but customers can get extra no big deal she wasn't having it so I stepped away from my station gave the poor guy his olives and apologized that's when she lost it and started screaming that I was undermining her I told her to go do dishes and I'd cover her station she went storming off thank God I was already planning on talking to the store manager about it because I'll leash but as luck would have it the franchise owner dropped in for something or other as soon as new girl realized who he was he started ranting about how I didn't control my veggie portions or some SH and I should be fired when the franchise owner took my side obviously she shouted at him too that was that except that she called the store manager later in tears begging to know what she'd done wrong and made it sound like she didn't realize I was her boss all that shouting at the owner about how he doesn't know how to run a business is inappropriate my boss hired a new lab technician I am the manager so he had to report to me at the end of the shift he tried to clean medical equipment with dish soap because he didn't want to wait for the machine to finish which the other crew would be responsible for he tried to microwave blood in a microwave for food and last but not least he forgot to put some one in the freezer for five hours he was such a mess the guy signed a non-disclosure as we were working around movie sets and production offices throughout the day he continuously asked if he could take photographs finally I realized that his employment was not worth risking my own employment or the production company's information he was relocated elsewhere but he did not last long from what I hear I I feel this we had a secured room where we explicitly said no photos video people took video of some spicy food potluck they had to their credit they deliberately framed the shot to exclude all the confidential data but it was on YouTube and shared before I found out I had to have some very unpleasant conversations with the team after that girl snorted in disgust when I asked her to clear a table in her section wouldn't be shown how to set a table and snapped at another manager do you even want to be here I asked not really okay grab your staff good luck to you to stand out he was laughing at the ice bin admitted he was tripping balls we laughed I said you can't work thing like that we laughed he said yeah I know so that was fun she stuffed all the fives from a fresh register meaning I knew exactly how many fives were supposed to be there in her bra assuming everyone who was totally watching wasn't paying attention Oh buddy was gonna shake her down and the police were busy she made $75 for roughly 30 minutes of training the dude who showed up in pants so tight you could see his entire privates it was a children's bounce play area fun zone we told him to go home and change he came back over an hour later with Starbucks in blindingly white skinny jeans same issue parents complained the first time hired a guy on the recommendation of another employee he no call no showed the first day second day he no call no showed but halfway through the day called to tell me that his kid was sick which I'm sympathetic for because I have kids too but I had to tell him we couldn't use him then waves of abusive texts and phone messages from him and his wife his final text was super long and explained how I just made it an enemy for life and that he was going to get even by starting up a rival business and putting me out of business if only he'd put that much energy into showing up it is what happened on the first day but he didn't get fired until a bit later when we figured it out managed our MSP team hired a bright guy all seems good on the first day at the end of the first day he received a phone call where he announced his father has passed away two weeks of compassionate leave for funeral out of state later he was supposed to start work again but called from the car park to say he's too distraught this goes on for three more weeks until one day we got a phone call from someone looking for this worker it was his father as it turned out he's been running this scam where he gets jobs with multiple companies and pulls the same stunts getting paid during the probationary period regardless of what happened for as long as he can he set up salaried payment to multiple accounts himself into friends to avoid detection from tax agency this guy was smooth light and cried calmed a lot of us not sure what happened to him but we reported this to the tax agency for a case of tax fraud I'm not the manager in the story but I was there for part of it dude gets hired starts training during training GM instructs him to take out the trash he refuses gets into an argument apparently he didn't know that he was arguing with the GM despite the big fancy name tag with general manager printed in block letters on it gets sent home for some reason he still comes in the next day smelling of alcohol he grabs food this is a restaurant without paying right in front of everyone including a manager he then proceeds to start coming at a server because they couldn't tell him where the takeout silverware was not the service job this evolves into a literal fight and the police get called we never saw him again after that this was all before his first actual day of work I'm a bar and restaurant manager one day the new kitchen porter walked through the front entrance carrying a huge bag of cheese over his shoulder which the head chef had told him to pick up he walked through the restaurant and right in front of customers launched it through the hatch in the kitchen flying through the air as everyone just watched open-mouthed the huge bag of cheese landed hard in the deep fat fryer the chef working near it got scalded in hot oil and had to go to A&E he's the only person I've sacked on their first day I'm mostly pretty chill but he was just a walking health and safety nightmare even after everything that happened he still couldn't accept responsibility or apologize to the chef he hurt he's the only person I've let go without a hint of remorse or sadness the safety of your team always comes first I think she kind of fired herself she didn't show up at all in an actual work capacity her first non-training shift was opening on a Saturday this place opened at 5:30 a.m. so me excited to sleep in because I opened MF which was waking up at 3:00 a.m. to make it got woken up at 5:30 on the dot because obviously clients called immediately whatever maybe something happened it sucked for me and the people trying to get in early morning workouts but I made it there and had it covered the problem was when I tried to talk to her about it she didn't even let me get started she immediately started yelling at me that I didn't give her enough space for her personal issues or something like that and then she emailed the VP of the company about how awful I was I wouldn't have fired her for that I tried to talk to her about it to find out why it happened but I had no chance at all she just went all out scorched earth all she got was being fired from a person above me he interviewed really well seemed excited to be a part of kept mentioning his mom in a what a nice boy way he even brought his mom in after we hired him she seemed really nice too it's not so weird when you consider how small town is his first day he showed up like a red line space cadet seemed to barely understand English wasn't making eye contact with anyone but staring off into the distance like crazy asking if he could take an early lunch 45 minutes into his shift dude was high off his bird and we politely told him it wasn't gonna work out two hours into the day got through training month long and the guy had his first day on the floor he was supposed to be setting up his computer how he liked it I walked by because he looked like he was struggling I helped him out and walked him through one of the programs and let him know it was okay to flag me down if he needed help I proceeded to help out three others then circle back to him no progress made this was 20 minutes later I walked him through some other setup this is all from written instruction from a manual I go and help a few more people come back to see yet again no progress I asked him what kind of issue he is having with the instructions come to find out he can't read English all of our instructions and guides are only in writing in English it's a requirement on the job interview I guess someone walked him through that - I want to know how he passed a month's training not being able to read English it was purely a classroom setting and apperently he was quiet we have since included exit testing and quizzes he couldn't turn apron on he couldn't count change asked him to unpack boxes and found him sitting on the floor just staring at them it wasn't so much firing as a mutual this isn't going to work after four hours so I was managing a low-end casual chain restaurant and had hired this kid probably 17 - 18 the prior week let's call him Tony I had done orientation with him his first day and then I had a week off for vacation on my first day back to work Tony is an hour late we are super busy so I just tell him to get to work cooking and I will address it later he looks very lost and confused even though he had five training days with my lead trainer he pulls me aside and says he will be right back and needs to go to the restroom I'm a bit frustrated with him already and Confused why he's asking but I say it's fine obviously then it happens my lead trainer comes to me and tells me that this kid is not Tony I reply with what do you mean she says I was training Tony for five days that is not him I honestly thought he was another new hire now I had only met the kid once for an hour right before vacation so I honestly didn't remember what he looked like I bolt to the bathroom to confront him once he comes out to find the bathroom empty with a folded up shirt and hat on the booth outside the next day I called Tony to ask what the hell he ignores the first call and then blocks my next call so I try from my cell phone and he answers I say my name and he immediately hangs up and blocks me too so my staff and I were left to assume that Tony apparently sent his friend in to work his job in full uniform and nobody but my lead trainer caught it idk if I should be embarrassed or impressed that his friend has some major balls to go undercover like that not a manager but was training a new guy on a plastic bag cutting machine the kind of backs used for products like fiberglass peat moss or salt these machines sometimes have plastic build up around the sealers and when this happens the machine needs to be stopped and cleaned usually this only takes some minutes power off engage kill switch remove excess plastic change Teflon strip if necessary disengage kill switch then power back on this was explained multiple times twice on the first night he disengaged the kill switch and started the machine while I was working on it could have had my fingers crushed or had it clamp on the tools I was using and sent shattered pieces everywhere lucky for me the machine starts to vibrate a second before it actually starts and I was able to pull away quickly enough both times I stopped the machine grabbed my manager and my union rep explained what happened and he was gone in five minutes if him [Music]
