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.

I was working in an orchard, drinking beers. The farmer didn't like it. Dishonourable discharge.

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.

Oh yeah, was fired for being too slow from a trimming job. My OCD had me taking too much time wanting perfection from such beautiful buds.

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.

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.
