You have to be hired in the first place to be fired.

Three times - all of which were for punching someone - once it was my boss, once it a friends boss, and once it was some sales dick at a Christmas party (which was the only KO of the three).
Aside of my aggression issues in my younger years, I have always been a hard and industrious worker, and have consistently climbed the ranks in whatever I do.

I have three also
The first being my paperroute that I dumped in the canal for two weeks in a row
The second one was a summer job cleaning offices with some friends. My brother stole a bunch of pencils and we all got fired
Third was a more serious job where budget cuts resulting in me being let go along with 50% of total staff
Overall I never have any issues. Im extremely skilled at being efficient so I get away with loads of slacking whilst still get good results

Ain't nothing worse than a theif.. I assume all those in the roles you mentioned were in someway stealing company money or your time at home by fucking up efficiency. We just want to do the job and go home man. Sometimes that's not enough and I applaud you for taking a stand despite it being on the spectrum of what not to do.

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Technically, just one, and that was for 3 no call no shows.
Another let me resign, but I wold have been fired if I hadn't.
Two others I was laid off because of downsizing, and another because the business closed.

Way back before cell phones and interwebs 15 yo me got fired (only time) from a job stocking coolers in a convience store cause I was stealing wine coolers for myself and the cute older girl who worked the register. After my shift had finished the girl and a friend picked me up after work with the ill gotten loot to cruise around town. First off it pains me to realize how completely fearfull of pussy I was at the time, with older girls picking me up to drive around and drink wine coolers I didnt even try to get some love, so much cringe in hindsight. So anyways we are cruising and sipping wine coolers and we decide to go by the high school to see who is around after the pepp rally. I saw a friend from another school, who incidentally became a movie star in hollywood, who came over to the car while we were parked waiting for someone else. Friend asked me for a wine cooler which I handed him and then decided to take off. Well apparently principle skinner was behind us and saw the wine cooler hand off. Principle skinner cornered the 14 yo future hollywood star with the wine cooler and broke him pretty quickly to tell where the cooler came from. Fast forward to a little bit later I had the girls drop me off at the school where my parents were to pick me up, since I told them I was going to the pep rally after work. Instead of that happening I was greated by the local p.d. who dragged me and the poor girls into the school to be interogated seperately like an episode of Law & Order SVU.
We all got suspended for a week. The girls got charged with corrupting a minor which is the real shitty part. The convience store refused to press theft charges so the cops couldn't do much else. A few days after the owner of the store called and very apologetically told me they had thought long and hard but decided that they had to let me go. I had assumed that so the call came as a shock and was really touched by their foregiveness.
So that is my getting fired story. Still kick myself for not getting with that girl

One time while working as a chef there was a big banquet, with lots of food, meat, snacks, pastry... some expensive big choloate cakes.
After the banquet, friend of mine kitchen hand, i gave him one of those left posh cakes for his missus, he was very happy

Funny how doing drugs at work can go from the best idea to the worst idea in such a short timespan
"Lets get high at work!"
2 minutes later when everything is weird

It was a tough chapter in my life, ha.
Certainly do not recall the details.. I think I was taking bumps throughout the shift and hit my max.
Only memory is of being sprawled starfish on the ground, looking up to my boss over me, and being fired. (Then having to drive home)

Back when I was an epic wreck in my life, some 10 plus years ago, I was constantly on xanax and/or coke (sometimes dabbled in meth too if my meth addicted coworker at the time hooked it up on some) and would go to work completely blasted. It predictably didn't take me that long to get fired...although probably longer than management would've liked

I've fired a bunch of people. And hired a bunch of people. I got fired once for showing customers the disgusting mess of a walk in the owner kept and asking them if they still wanted to eat or drink there. Only because I knew he was watching on the cameras. I was a bartender but I would only have mixed drinks and use canned soda for myself any anyone that would listen.

What I will add to my pole answer of 0... I've done things with some of my jobs that I probably could have gotten fired.
Especially now working from home.. I sadly miss the office environment, even though I see myself as being very much an introvert.
oh well.. Good question!

Technically none, but the one time I was 'laid off' was totally because I had useless availability (during university) and so that probably should count

I think I was only fired once, from my first job. Stock boy in a fabric store. There were one or two other ones where I was told I was being laid off but it more or less amounted to being fired. Laid off due to a work shortage caused by hiring someone to replace me in one case. That was at a suit jacket factory. Came in hung over the day the boss man was coming in, had a bit of a loud argument with the guy who had trained me but was not a supervisor about always being on my case when my work was actually fine, and a couple of days later some friend of the other steam press guy was in learning my job. A day or two after that I was laid off.
The original other steam press guy seemed to be bitter that he was an engineer in his home country but not recognized as such here. I think he built up the art of this steam press job to be more than it was. When I had learned to do all the work as specified and was getting fast at it, he did not want to accept it and would criticize work that actually had come out looking just like it was supposed to. After a while of this nonsense perfectionism I was getting sick of it. And the guy was not even my boss, he had trained me but had the same job I did, and another guy was supervisor to both of us.

4 firings, including 2 from the same place.
-First was my first job at 16, simply because I had no idea what employment entailed and sucked at doing what they asked ov me. -Second job from age 18-20, I was highly proficient but a goofball at the same time. This was not the reason for my firing but rather what caused a manager to hate me enough to lie in order to have me fired. I wanted off a day and got the confirmation from HIM that I could have off, as well as locked another person in to cover my shift. Even though the other person did come in, the manager lied and said that I never even asked him that I could have off, which convinced the GM to fire me. Well, he was a big Washington Redskins fan and my Browns kicked their ass last Sunday! -Last 2 firings were at the same place and were because ov my alcohol problems at the time. I was allowed to drink on the job to an extent(yes I was an alcoholic delivery driver!), but I became way too out ov control before the first firing. Calculated shots at certain time intervals transgressed into keeping a handle behind the seat and taking long pulls every time I went out on deliveries. He let me come back but I started drinking again and after missing a day or two was fired again. I held a loaded gun to my head inside the shop for a few seconds on the way out. I actually worked one shift there about a year later! I'll likely never be there full time again(or hopefully not any place full time again), but I'm still cool with that shop and consider the owner a friend despite him rightfully having to fire me twice.

Does fruit picking work on piecework there? That was what I liked about tree planting. Fast work was actually rewarded as long as you met quality standards (tree planted securely and upright with the correct spacing from other trees). That and nobody cared about intoxicants by and large. The biggest concern around weed was fire risk.
At the same time though the crew bosses driving us to the work sites on these shitty bush roads were often blazed too. One year a crew boss rolled a bus going up a hill on a soft road and a number of people had severe injuries. Don't know if intoxicants played a role but they probably do in some such accidents.

I was fired from the same job 5 times, how the hell do you get fired 5 times from the same job or what kind of idiot hires the guy they fired multiple times?
I worked for an equal opportunity bigot that would say a lot of stupid things that I called them out on which led to a couple of firings other times was for asking for the reasoning behind what I was doing so that I could come to the same conclusion on my own. Needless to say they couldn't easily replace me and I always do my work well regardless whats going on I'm a professional on top of the owner not being able to do it themselves prompted a call to rehire me the next days. Eventually I found another job and got fired again before my two weeks notice ended...

I was working at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point many years ago and cut myself pretty badly. After they stitched me up they wanted to sample my pee and I declined.
The super was extremely upset and asked why I didn’t pee and I told him I didn’t really see any point in it. He fired me and gave me an actual pink slip. Only time I ever got fired and they hired me back right after I got my stitches out.

The irony is I was his best picker too.
Does fruit picking work on piecework there? That was what I liked about tree planting. Fast work was actually rewarded as long as you met quality standards (tree planted securely and upright with the correct spacing from other trees). That and nobody cared about intoxicants by and large. The biggest concern around weed was fire risk.
At the same time though the crew bosses driving us to the work sites on these shitty bush roads were often blazed too. One year a crew boss rolled a bus going up a hill on a soft road and a number of people had severe injuries. Don't know if intoxicants played a role but they probably do in some such accidents.
Darn stoner pickers... lol
Yeah it's output based. Gun fruit pickers can earn big money here, more than $3000 a week.
I've picked mangoes, pears, watermelons and more. Farmers are happy if the fruit is coming off the tree unbruised... generally.

Never. When I was 16 I was the guy at Kmart that loaded heavy TV's and such as into peoples cars. One day they were abusing me and pissing me off so I started loading big TV's into my friends cars for free. All kinds of DVD players and furniture. Eventually they caught on I think so I quit. I justified it because they paid me so little and abused me.
I'm not super proud of it, but I was a desperate kid and basically on my own making $5 an hour so I needed the extra cash. After that I got a real job and stopped the shit. Now I'm my own boss and couldn't get fired if I wanted to.

Next time i went to work the manager said, "you dont have a job here anymore" i was surprised it took them that long to fire me
2nd time in my late twenties. It was a drug prevention center for the youth and i popped dirty for weed when i got tested. i was only with them for like a month

Once this girl who didn’t like me said I dropped a glass beaker on purpose when it was an accident and the management believed her over me. The job was a joke. It was an excuse just to have me let go clearly I did nothing wrong besides an accident. Whats even more messed up is the girl told me to grab the beaker off the shelf and it just broke. I clearly was setup.
Quit several jobs that sucked but been working since I was 15

So I was fired around two weeks ago. Strangely enough, the company that fired me sent an email to my personal email today that said, "Dear former employee, we have a position available in New York, NY ... you have until 10/19/2020 to respond." The reason they initially fired me was because I was on the bench for longer than 30 days... guess they just didn't want to pay me for being on the bench for any longer than that.

It really is with hiring freezes everywhere as business absorb the cost of business under covid. Hopefully after the election things will stabilize one way or the other. The vaccine is not going to be impactful to near term.

I think its twice for me, as I recall.
First time was when I was working at a gas station as a gas station attendant and I had put gasoline into something (like a can or car) instead of diesel for the last and final time. That was embarrassing but that job fuckin sucked, Im glad I got fired.
Another job I was a temp job at a warehouse that had lots of forklift traffic. I accidentally placed a large cardboard box that was filled (I thought it was empty) into an area that is for empty boxes. Another forklift driver didnt check if it was empty (since it was in the empty area anyway) and launched the box to the floor (to be broken down for reuse later), spilling all the product that was inside of the box all over the floor. I felt pretty stupid after that and I was fired about a week after that incident. That job was pretty cool but some aspects of the job were janky as fuck so I wasnt too sad about losing it.
Then when I was a teen, I worked at a restaurant in Hawaii as a bus boy. Met a lot of pretty ladies which was the best part. However, they stopped putting me on their schedule, sorta like professional "ghosting" and I just walked off the job one day. I took a long walk into the paths of lava hieroglyphics and contemplated being left out of the work schedule...

Companies suck. They have no soul to damn or body to kick. We need more unions.

Let me rephrase. We need stronger unions that can have their reps and stewards face jail time for not fighting for their members.

I said 1 but I actually just remembered it's 2.
One for smoking weed on a lunch break and the other because I was trying to cheat the computer system for the better work at a warehouse. Like half the other people were doing it too but I apparently did it wrong once and got caught.

But that's, uh, that's the legal definition of a corporation; an artificial person. If you're going to dump that you have to say what you're going to replace it with.

If I hadnt quit MXE I probably would have resigned as an admin.
Its fun a psychedelic site has a far out admin but I was getting further and further out.
November 9 marks my 1 year anniversary of No Drugs At All except Rx and coffee.
Am I hungry for drug experiences?
Less than ever before since I took up the Ether bottle at age 12-13.
Not in the least.
Drug use begets drug use. Sobriety begets sobriety.
I got more important things to do, like striking water wells in Africa and my african outreach project.
I'm entering the age of being an Elder, where you focus on giving back to the community, educating young ones and leaving as good as possible a world before you go.

I've only been fired when I quit in such a way that I was technically fired. Walking off a job that sucks and that I refused to do for one more second, that kind of thing. Or not showing up when I was done with a shit job.
I'm maybe not the best employee in that regard, but if you pay me jack shit and treat me like shit and give me a shit job to do, you will get exactly what you pay for.
