Bosses Reveal The Crazy Reasons They Had To Fire Someone On The First Day

"My boss fired an 18 year-old kid from his first job on his first day because he left the water running on the floor scrubber when he went to break. Aisle 5 was a swimming pool before anyone noticed." — Acholous_Cognoscente

"Hired a girl to fire watch, which is where you literally sit still and make sure nothing sets fire while someone welds. Easiest job in the world. This girl gets five minutes into her first job, lays down on the ground, and goes to sleep. Not like she dozed off, she rolled up her jacket as a pillow and everything. On the ground. In the dirt. In the middle of our mill." — the_might_moon_worm

"40-something-year-old woman came in smelling of alcohol in a toy store for her first day as a seasonal employee. She threw up on herself in between helping customers." — Terrapin

"I worked at a drugstore. They hired some girl and on her first day behind the counter alone she spent 20 minutes scratching unpurchased lotto tickets and throwing away any losers until the manager saw what she was doing on the security camera and booted her." — Shodan30

"I got to fire my co-manager's sister who called 5 minutes before her first shift and said she'd be there in an hour because she just sat down to dinner with friends." — thickeySFW

"Wasn't a manager but we had a kid who came into the shop and his first day of night shift they couldn't find him. Well they found him after a few hours. He cleaned off a shelf in the parts room and was sleeping on it." — bazilbt

"We had this guy who came in, filled out his name and social security number, gave it to us, then proceeded to steal the front desk guy's wallet and keys. Right in front of the very visible security camera." — l2np

"This one girl shopped at the store a lot and we were excited to hire her. She was let go because she was late, was caught trying on clothes instead of greeting, and apparently laughed when anyone asked for a size larger than a medium." — LHugs

"I managed a bookstore that had an auxiliary calendar kiosk at the other end of the shopping center. Hired a woman to man it, did her morning training, left her alone for a bit. Went back to check on her and found half the calendars stolen and her asleep behind the curtains we used to hide back stock." — BookerDeWittsCarbine

"I hired someone to write about cars for a website I was editing. The very first piece of copy he turned in on his very first day…was a plagiarized copy of something I had written two years prior. I just sent him a link to my original piece that he plagiarized, and never heard from him again." — harshcougar

"Kid stuck his hand in the fryer after being dared to. After being rushed to the hospital, I knew he was too much of a liability and I had to let him go." — ruudeboy

"This kid came in for his first shadowing with me and we were headed to a nicer event, one which required we wear nicer attire. He'd been asked by my editor not to wear jeans or shorts but to dress business casual: slacks and at least a nice button-up shirt or polo. Well, he showed up late, and he showed up in jeans and flip flops." — fatbabyotters

"Had to fire a high school kid because he wouldn't stop hitting on the female cashiers. I received multiple complaints on his first day. The best part was when his dad called, demanding an explanation." — BeeFilledPinata

"Purchased six songs on iTunes with the company credit card less than an hour after we issued it to him. There's no way that's a business expense." — eatmyopinions

"I worked at Jamba Juice, I left the lid off the cooler while closing. Overnight, not only did I turn the entire store into a waterpark locker room, but I discovered a new flavor from the thousands of dollars worth of fruit and ice cream that melted together!" — Sonadel
