Hey everyone I just got fired today and it was my day off. Its just like the movie Friday except its not funny. Im finally free though and now I can focus on my creative works. Looking forward to having free time. Fuck corporate America! Anyone care to share the ridiculous things they've been fired for? I was fired because I wasn't notified of a schedule change and didn't show up today. Feel free to discuss the times you've quit and any bullshit work stories. I think this would be fun.

Seems sketchy.. are you sure thats all that happened?
I lost a job once for showing up benzo blacked out. I dont know if it was my day off, wrong time or what, I just vaguely remember being in the bosses office.. I say 'lost' the job because they technically never said you're fired and I technically never said I quit.. we just kind of stopped communicating.

Well they've done this to me a few times. It is a popular Mexican grill restaurant that has captured the love of white girls on social media. I had a lot of no call no shows due to the fact that they didn't acknowledge the calendar days that I took off two weeks before a schedule for those days were made. I even got a phone call on my vacation asking why i wasn't at work. They don't pay attention to the employees at all. I guess they felt like it was the last straw the crazy part is the lack of responsibility they take as managers in fear that it might affect their career.
Thats pretty crazy man. This dude i worked with lost his job where I work at for throwing up after snorting too much coke.

You're right man it really sucked. Made me unhappy but I didn't want them to have the last laugh I wanted to quit. If you're a guy and work at chipotle they'll bitch you and treat you like a retard. If you're a female they'll treat you like an extra retarded person and then the male managers will not stop sexually harassing you. Chipotle sucks major nutsack.

If someone tried to fire me over that I'd tell them they can't fire me. Then I'd go in for my next scheduled shift, and if they told me to go home I'd remind them they have to pay me for the shift. 
I live in a good country though.
Anyway, no wonder they fired you. You get fired and your reaction is "Look at all this free time I have!" How are you going to pay your parents rent with that attitude?

I got fired for unexcused absences (not just no call no show). They demanded a doctor's note proving I was being treated for insomnia, which I provided.
The issue is even though I was getting drugged up, I couldn't sleep, and they wouldn't allow me to work under the influence of my medication. I had no way of knowing what day I would end up not being able to sleep, so I couldn't just plan ahead. Not taking them and not sleeping isn't an option. My sanity is more important than a shitty retail job, and if I don't take medicine I'll end up getting about 4 hours of sleep every other day or so. Over time that shit drives me literally nuts.
I was trying to change medicines, and they were aware of me going to the doctor every couple of days to get a new RX to find something that would work. I eventually found something, but not in time to keep my job.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

And onece i called in to a retail store for like a week because i was getting way more money and more hours than i needed at my two other jobs, then they were about to fire me so i went in and told them i was going to start showing up so they didnt fire me, but then i changed my mind and never showed up

yah after all the times you told them your vacations and called called in for work, you really should pretend you aren't fired and go in for a shift you aren't on just to fuck with them. Pretend you weren't notified that u were fired.

I worked at a pizza place when I was 16 and the boss liked to leave "Don't worry be happy" on repeat, for the whole shift. If it wasn't that it was Tom Jones.
