"One hot-headed employee drove several nails into his manager’s car tires before heading home after being fired for insubordination.

Apparently, he didn’t notice that he was being caught on security cameras."

"Not crazy, but clever: guy gets fired and before he left he sets his voice mailbox to send the managers ranting and disparaging voicemail messages – using the ‘future-delivery’ feature – every week. they didn’t know how to manage their voicemail system well so they had to pay their phone vendor to come and make it stop after it went on for a month or two. i was the tech to roll and fix it."

"This girl I worked with was warned twice for sleeping under her desk during work hours and was eventually fired for interrupting a band hired by our office for an event to sing her very own music."

"At my old job, someone took a handful of pickles and beamed them at the wall while screaming that he was “the goddamn best sandwich artist they would ever have.”"

"At my last job, our CFO was fired for mishandling company funds. He essentially had a mental breakdown and no one, including his family saw him for a week. There’s parking garage footage from that day of him wandering out of the garage and a strange man no one knew coming to get his car hours later. He resurfaced after a week, strung out and in the same clothes."

"A friend of mine had come to hate his job at a large software company. He’d found a new job, but he wouldn’t be starting for another month or so so he hadn’t given his notice yet at his current job.

One day they decided to bring people in to have the employees do “team building exercises.” About 10 minutes in to this he was just like screw it and said “I need to leave.” The team building people asked where he was going. He explained, “To give my notice.”

Quitting during team building exercise? My hero."

"The ‘maintenance’ man at a prior place was fired when another company bought us and was made redundant. They gave him a date like 3 months out and were going to give him 6 months of pay/insurance.

On his last day he stole 400 computer monitors along with the company’s 20ft truck. They never found the guy. He just abandoned his apartment and stuff in it too. It was strange."

"Dishwasher I used to work with got in trouble for hooking up with a (much younger) coworker in the freezer, and when he was confronted he freaked out, stole the plunger, and stormed off.

Flashforward two weeks, someone clogs the toilet and we never got the plunger back. Boss walks back to me with a plastic bag and gloves and tells me to go fix the clog."

"I worked at a small town diner and one of our cooks was a drug addict, basically anything that could be injected, snorted, or smoked he did it. He was also almost 30 and continuously harassed one of our underage waitresses. Those two habits got him fired which he seemed to take pretty well until 3 days later when he came to pick up his final check high on god knows what in the middle of our dinner rush.

Instead of going to the bosses office, located next to the restaurant he goes into the dining area and starts screaming at everyone about what a selfish @$$hole the owner is and how he was the best goddamn cook in this town etc. he was subdued by a cook and a customer who held him still ranting and raving behind the restaurant while they waited for the cops to show."

"Guy quit from his job in a call centre. Logged back into his phone, answered and hung up on about 200 people in the span of a minute and a half then got up from his desk and ran for the elevators yelling “Freeeeeeeeedooooooom”"

11

"He posted a a half-naked photo of himself holding 2 raw beef briskets, taken in the dinning room of the restaurant, on Instagram. He tagged his location, the restaurant, resulting in the owner seeing it. I’ve never seen someone so angry at an employee."

"A guy here walked out and did donuts in the parking lot. Then he realized he forgot his paycheck and had to come back to get it. This was 10 years ago and he was recently rehired."

13

"I worked at Red Lobster in college, and a server quit after working there for a few years. On his way out, he pulled out two arm floaties (like little kids wear in the pool), goggles, and a snorkel, and stood in the lobster tank. He was only there for a few seconds before management came and yelled. He grabbed a lobster and ran out the door with it, never to be seen again."

"On my last day working for a really sh#tty grocery store, I grabbed a pack of expired chicken and a tub of expired sour cream and tossed them into the heating ducts by the furnace.

My best friend, who continued to work there for another year or so, told me it took them almost a month to find it, despite the eye-watering, vomit-inducing smell being blasted through the whole store whenever they turned the heat on."

"I worked at a diner where the dishwasher came in high on something. he was slurring his speech and just moving like a sloth. Manager on duty came down and fired him on the spot. as he started leaving, he had to pass the public restrooms, and decided to take a sh#t…on the floor outside of the restroom. full on squat. worse part is that it wasn’t even a dump and run, he literally squatted there for like 5 minutes. no one wanted to approach him."

"I worked at a UPS store in high school. A guy I worked with had put in his notice and after clocking out on his last day for the last time gave everybody the finger while chugging like a half bottle of Windex (which he had secretly replaced with blue kool aid). That was priceless to see the manager’s reaction."

"Worked in restaurants all my life. The biggest blaze of glory I’ve ever seen anyone go out in was when a (former) kitchen manager tossed his keys to the building (and everything in it) in the deep fryer and pulled the kitchen’s fire suppression system on his way out the door.

The cops were at his house when he got home to arrest him for felony vandalism and destruction of property. He plead down to a misdemeanor on the basis that it was a “crime of passion” or something."
