I mean...the fact that you still seem to be happy about it after years because he got drunk and apparently caused no damage except to himself kinda shows how petty you are. I'm gonna assume there's more to it.

@@janusgreenway6934 what in the hell are you talking about? He was falling down drunk on the job because he thought his boss wasn't going to be around. I actually bear him no malice...he told some great jokes during his time...but no way I'd hire him again. He burned that bridge not me

@@douglasw9624 ahh, and so I assume being intoxicated was, like, actually against company policy? But hey, what's the point of feeling bad for firing people if that's your job? Gahaha! Maybe you actually have a short temper or something, because I probably wouldn't pretend like he went to prison.

I can only imagine it now him:" oh its you" you: "yep now don't let the door hit you on the way out"

@@janusgreenway6934 it's a risk and bad reputation to let employees drunk at work. I say this as a man working for a multinational company, with over 2k employees where I work alone. Getting drunk is just not okay, especially if the worker is operating dangerous machines.

Did he have get charged with impersonating an officer?

@@shavagreycastle This was a private security company. Impersonating an officer just refers to impersonating a *police* officer and even then (I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice) I think you have use the fact that you're claiming to be a cop in order to manipulate people into doing something they wouldn't otherwise do. (Like allowing you access to a private building). They generally don't arrest actors or strippers for dressing as police officers as part of their act, for example. This guy wasn't asking anyone to do anything (and that was the problem- I needed him to log these brand new semi-trucks in and out of the lot, so there would be a paper trail if they were stolen). In some places there are also laws against impersonating a member of the armed services. I think a lot of people don't realize, private security officers have no special legal authority, except in that they're allowed to act on the client's behalf in their absence (such as requesting the real police to eject someone from the client's property).

@@nehukybis Gotcha. I wasn't aware that the impersonation laws didn't extend to private companies. Thanks for clearing it up.

@@nehukybis Your explanation sums it up pretty well. As long as you don't state, or imply, you are an officer you're fine.

Id have had him change other position titles, not fire him.

That's my favorite as well ^^

To be honest, I'd have probably got him a new contract with his preferred title, and a small raise.

No way he couldve been that dumb. it possibly was just a satisfying moment to the guy XD

That's a pretty huge compliment.

Same I was the trainer at my job that was basically the litmus test for if you could handle it.

Had this at 1 job, didn't realise as nobody told me. I was just a guy doing my job. New manager came in and wanted to change things, Moved me to a new position in which I had no training and dropped me right in the deep end. Catastrophic night shift, lowest numbers achieved in 18 months. It took 3 people to do my job instead of myself and another. They pulled the 3rd man from my new positions team..... Diabolical turn out that night, we'd normally finish by 4am and tidy up and relax until 6am at shift end incase some work showed up. Never did as we were all competent. Finished 11am that morning instead of 6am. 2nd night was slightly better as higher ups were called during the day to rectify the absolute shit show that had happened. When I turned up for shift, I had not even looked at my phone because I'd been asleep all day New manager had invited me to a meeting 1hour before shift. Obviously didn't turn up and got chewed out Infront of everybody from 2 shifts. I took it on the chin, went to work. I suffered a huge amount of verbal that night. Every excuse this dude had he would come belittle me! Left at 6am sharp as I was only contracted till then. Called while I was asleep (I turn my phone off in the day to not be asleep) invited me to another meeting...... Same story, verbals at the gate.... I told him quietly that he's making a big mistake To which he went OFF!! Started screaming at me to get to my station and do as I was told.... I walked back to my original station and he followed me across the warehouse screaming "where do you think your going" "who do you think you are" "get back here" blah blah blah Once I was in the back of a lorry with no cameras and it was just us 2, he still screaming at me I looked him in the eyes and said 'keep talking to me and I will leave right this second" We were short staffed as people had miraculously called in sick that night -.- like 40% of the shift........ He panicked then and returned to some semblance of rationality. Continued the verbals all shift, 6am he's at the gate refusing to let me out until the work was done. I laughed long and loud knowing the security was pretty good round the site (cameras) And climbed a 20 foot security fence. All to shouts of "your done, you'll never work here again' 'you can't do that' 'come back here' blah blah blah The silly sausage even tried opening the gates to come and continue his bullshit. Lost my shit, shouted at him that 'as soon as those gates open and he steps to me I'd **** his ******* head off and wait for the police after'.... I'm not sure if it was the sudden outburst of maniacal rage and spit that came out my mouth or the fact it came from me. After him assuming my quiet and friendly nature meant I was a target. He stopped dead in his tracks, turned and walked inside. Now we worked with high value stock. There was cameras and microphones pretty much everywhere When I started I was warned by many people that the security is so up to date that they had never had a theft gone unpunished or resolved within hours of it happening. And you could not get away with ANYTHING in here, if you make a mess somewhere, you'll be caught If your hiding somewhere slacking you will be seen, if you break something, admit it or you'll be caught.... At 6am most of the drivers are parked outside the gate waiting to get in, big audience. Manager went in and called the police. Basically the came, viewed the footage and left. No crimes committed as far as they were concerned and it was an internal matter. The shit storm that guy created for himself and the company was unbelievable 😂😂😂😂 I was called around 7.30 when the real management and high ups arrived for day shift I knew the call was coming so left my phone on, Asked for my side of events? I gave them. This prick had laid out a story of 'hes a major problem, has been since day 1, won't listen, causes trouble......rude? Aggressive? Threats made...... They sent him home and told him to take the night off for stress the next night. Unbeknownst to both of us, they'd pulled the CCTV from him walking into the place first night up until they walked in after the incident. Went through roughly 28 hours of footage, pulled in all teams across both shifts and drivers, contacted the police......huge investigation!!! I was told not to return to work either until it was resolved. Both us being paid. Upon hearing this I said I understood. I had a new job by 1pm that day starting the next day. After doing nights for better part of 3 years I had secured my job, filled paper work out and was home asleep by 1pm I slept pretty much until 6am the next morning. I still remember how fresh I felt 😅 Any ways After like 2 weeks the company invite me in for a discussion I went along because I did enjoy my old job and the people who worked there were great, Anyways the said I could come back, have my original position and got a written apology from the company with a £50 gift card for 1 of our clients. All fine, I asked what had happened to the new manager and they said he'd been moved to days to 'be kept an eye on' I nearly fell of my chair. I explained in no uncertain terms that I'd rather castrate myself with a hammer than work with or for a company who confined this type of behaviour, they denied the were and said in the interest of fairness they were giving everyone a chance. I walked clean out. On my way I collected a few things and stopped by reception to ask for the ladies there to pass a few messages on to people I liked but didn't have there contact information, Just thankyou's and goodbyes..... She informed me not 1 of them worked there and most had left after seeing my treatment. She even said that she was leaving because there is no way shed work with the chap doing all the shouting. The 40% if staff of sick the second night shift never returned, roughly another 10 left including myself from night shift A lot left from day shift. Within 6 months this business had closed. I know this because I saw the building change names and couple years later I bumped into a bloke from my night shift in the pub, He was really friendly and knew everyone in that place, very funny and popular guy. He stayed through all of it because the money they were paying to retain trained staff went up by about 70% and the temp workers they got in cost to much and didn't have the training or time to receive said training so we're walking out after a couple nights.... He said it was like a free for all in the end. Some days they would be finishing Tuesdays work on a Friday ....... That's when I learned I was the guy they put the new guys with to suss them out and everyone liked me there because alot if them had only got there jobs through me saying they were good workers. I kept myself to myself and just did my job, But I still cherish that memory . Makes me smile :)

Being a manger who had to deal with peoples crap more often then not even during rushes kicking out bad employees helped way more then them being there. Made people they distracted actually do their job and made one less person to bump into (small area with lots going on).

Mcdonald's was my first job (I worked kitchen) but I didn't work there long (about 2 months because I hated it and couldn't take it anymore) and even I understood the importance of food handling and especially of raw product. I can't understand how someone can be so stupid and unwilling to learn.

I had someone call in sick on a super busy Friday night. He was supposed to start at 5, called in at 4:50, way too late to find a replacement, so we ran a man short. At about 5:30 half the employees (his friends he just screwed over) started getting alerts about his livestream. He was live streaming his workout routine from 24 hour Fitness. Another time a gal called in sick (Small town). After 10pm a favorite haunt of teenagers is the local 24-hour WalMart. I stopped by after work for milk. She was there, 4 friends in tow. I zoomed way in with my cell phone and took a picture, she never saw me. The next day asked why she skipped out on work. "I told you I was sick" was the excuse. I display the picture of her on my computer monitor, with here exploding on me saying I was invading her privacy.

Kinda sounds like what my dad had to go through once. Except it was an office job in a cubical where my dad never saw the sun, which made him depressed and unproductive. He finally decided one day that he was going up to the boss and tell him that he was quitting, only for the boss to tell him that he was fired. It's at least nice knowing that those two were on the same page in that regard.

I can only imagine what it done to your mental health. Bro I hope your enjoying the better job now!

@@quintonmartin27 The job has it's ups and downs, but I have two full days off every week now, which is wonderful.

@@newbiegamelover4767 I used to to PC-related temp work. It took a good year and a half of gigging that way before I realized that I felt far more depressed on some assignments than others, largely based on how how much ambient sunlight was reaching me throughout the day. The bigger the window, the less depressed I was. Some years later, I read articles about studies quantifying what I knew from experience. So happy it's confirmed! Now, someone with Seasonal Affective Disorder can provide documentation backing up a request for accommodation, based on their need for solar energy.

To be fair you cannot fire someone that never did any work to start with sounds like she just asked others to do her work load so you all doing two jobs and she getting paid to do nothing.

I was running register at my old job and noticed the new cook prepping food…differently… Normally I don’t care, we all learned from somewhere and have our own ways, especially when it comes to cooking. However, the boy was putting freshly done cheeseburgers, ON TOP of the lid being used to cook said burgers. The greasy, dirty, who knows when it was washed last, top of the lid. Cheese was instantly burning on top of it, cementing the burgers to it🤢 I wasn’t a cook but I knew that was certainly unsanitary. Pulled my manager aside and discreetly pointed out the mess of cheese and burger meat. Boy was not back the next day🫠

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

I also feel for #11, having social difficulties & anxiety, but strong at everything else when alone or in a simple team. Having to meet or talk to many people I wouldnt know just sounds exhausting, but also a necessary skill.

What is this, RuPaul's Drag Race? lol

I noticed that too!! I love that he took suggestions from his audience and followed through

First off when I heard the meds I was so worried about someone od the patients on purpose, glad that was not the case. Second Keeping in mind it was a firing video I was wondering what the nurse did to get fired and thought when you turned around she ran with the pills. Either way I was surprised that the old lady got a shower. Good job.

@@wolf-dogcat-dog2.045 I think he meant 'Alzheimers that gets worse in the evening.'

Sundowning is something that happens to people with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. The later in the day it gets the worse they get. The more forgetful. For example I had a patient once in a nursing home and her Alzheimer’s was still early onset so when she would wake in the morning she was pretty much herself, knew where she was, who everyone was etc. but once it got to be a little after dinner time she would start getting confused as to where she was. If she had visitors there one minute she knew who they were and all of a sudden she would scream for them to stop trying to hug her cause she’s never seen them before. She would walk around all night long looking for her husband who was deceased. She would walk around with a baby doll and she swore it was her daughter and it was 1952 waiting for her husband to get home from work. She would go into the dining room thinking it was her kitchen at home and she would always set 1 table. To keep her calm each evening before the kitchen crew left for the day they would leave a tray in the dining room with a table cloth, enough dishes for 1 tables, silverware, and 6 small plastic cups with water inside. If not she’d go searching for something to put in the cups. So she would set 1 table every night. We just appeased her. It made her happy. But when she woke up the next morning she was back to her normal self. That’s sundowning and working the graveyard shift has absolutely nothing to do with it.

I did this with my parents as a teen. Never had to sneak out, never had to hide anything, all I had to do was say love you and im going go see such and such this is where we are going and this is their parents number just in case. Honestly telling the truth is more rewarding then lieing is

So much this. People lie to me all the time. The funny part is they're so....incredibly....BAD at it. One of the problems with being dumb kids (and more than a few in their thirties or upwards) is they think lying is merely making words that aren't the truth come out of their mouths. They don't realize they have the same disregard for responsibility and others' intelligence as all the other dumb kids, they're peddling the same list of trite stories every dumb kid uses, and they have the same set of painfully obvious tells every dumb kid has. Lying is a skill. Like many skills, it should be practiced before being attempted in a work environment. But they don't. If you have a legit thing, just tell me, we'll work around it. If you're blowing off work so you can sit on your front porch and get hammered, you might as well say that's what you're doing, because I already have a pretty good idea (I'm looking at YOU, Jared, seriously you live half a block from the store, two employees saw you and you drunk-texted a third).

@@Maladjester I remember the first time i told my boss i would not be coming to work on a Saturday a week before said day (i was working for him more or less 3 months at the time) and he asked me why, i just said cus i wanted to go to the beach with my wife and he should cut the day of my paycheck, the look of confusion on his face made very clear to me the kind of person he was employing before me with is sad cus he's a really nice dude.

@@VitorOliveira-tk1ob Our culture (or mine here in America) is pathologically saturated with "bad boss" stories and antiwork culture. The prevailing attitude is anyone with authority must be evil, you can never get ahead so why even try, and so on. Among many other problems, it convinces people they have to lie and that lying is okay.

My dad dose dumb stuff like that on a bus. It just depends on a bosses since of humor

@@jacobnevison2142 nope, worked for a movie theatre. there must be a few of us who lost our jobs over our parents' camping trips. booooo

I am being serious when I say this, why the hell are you hiring people at all, don't you understand the only way to get a job done right is to do it yourself? Though to be honest I am one of those kids that older adults consider lazy because I refuse to give my life to a company that just looks at me as a number.

@@whitecloud2002 because a single person only has so much time in a day to accomplish things. It is far easier to hire people who can do the job and then train them to do it like you. At least… if you know what to look for in an employee… and most people don’t because they lack the personality traits to do it well. As for your stance of not mattering? Welcome to the real world. You don’t matter. Except to maybe yourself. You matter to friends and family conditionally. You work to get skills to earn money. If you’re there for personal validation, then you need a therapist, rather than a job. Take your validation from being the best at something, being irreplaceable, and being well liked by everyone you meet. Don’t seek it from people you don’t even care about.

@@XxTaiMTxX I don't disagree with you there, I am just stating the facts, bosses wonder why they cannot find good help, it's because that good help usually goes into business for themselves and with the ability to go into business for yourself becoming much easier these days, either you will be forced to hire Mediocre or terrible people that cannot or will not do those things properly, I am not someone who knows how to run a business, but I work hard and do my job (quite quitting), and nothing beyond what I am required to do, because if the company does not value me I do not Value them as anything more than a place to make money.

@@whitecloud2002 Bosses don't wonder why they can't "find good help". Good help is everywhere. Most of it having been spoiled and ruined by the education system and political movements. You're a victim of that, yourself. Let me explain: "I'm not going to work any harder than I have to, because the company doesn't value me." I mean, that's just hurting yourself. But, nobody tells you that. You just think that "you're getting even with the man". Meanwhile, using it as a weird excuse to "be lazy". The company doesn't value you, because you're easily replaceable. You're easily replaceable because you don't work any harder than you have to. Because you don't fulfill any niche or role that isn't irreplaceable. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. "I'm not going to work hard because the company doesn't value me, and the company doesn't value me, because I am not going to work hard". But, the problem is that school and politics has taught you the wrong definition of "working hard". The definition you were taught is "work overtime, do everything for free, turn work into your life". That's not working hard. It may have been "working hard" in 1950, but it's not "working hard" at all these days. Here's what "working hard" is: Learn absolutely everything about your job. No matter how useless it seems to have it. Do every job that's asked of you and do it so well that nobody else can do it. Put these things on your resume. Every time you learn or do a new task that isn't related to your job, you shove that sucker on your resume. Immediately. Every time you reworked a job or a system in order to be quicker or more efficient, you put that on your resume as well. If your boss asked you to train someone, you put "experience in training employees" on your resume. If your boss asked you to "take out the trash" and you found a way to do that much quicker, with less effort, you put on that resume, "reworked sanitation management procedures for X job". That's how I got ahead. It's how I got irreplaceable. I saw a job to be done, so I did it, without complaint, and did it so well that nobody else could ever do it again without my instruction. No training materials? I made a bunch. No systems of accountability? I made a bunch. No documents to track various metrics of the job? Made those too. Nobody knew how our system worked? I learned (to the point they put me in charge of testing fixes, which was NOT in my job description). Nobody knew how two divisions interacted with each other, because they didn't? I learned it. I learned things. Streamlined them. Offered feedback and suggestions for improvement. I went from "entry level job" making $10 an hour to where I am today, making $20. With a stint as a Supervisor in between there. The Supervisor job was created for me because of how much I knew and I was going to take all that knowledge with me somewhere else. I am perpetually late to work like every day. Nobody reprimands me. You know why? Because I'm not replaceable. 5 to 10 minutes late is worth what I bring to the table in terms of expertise and ambition. Especially when I will sometimes stay extra late to finish some tasks or get things set up for the next day. I've had bosses complain that I'm not clocking overtime when I work it, but I tell them "don't worry about it, it all evens out at some point." I'm given a fantastic amount of leeway and authority because I went out of my way to earn it and to be irreplaceable. I never hired anyone who didn't have the potential to do exactly what I did. If a job was "just another job" to them, then I simply didn't hire them. I felt no obligation to coddle the stupid and truly lazy. But, if they showed the potential for ambition and they wanted to use the job I was offering as a stepping stone, then they were useful. They showed that they wanted to learn things. They wanted to be more. They weren't content with the way their life was, and were willing to work to make it better. I hired THOSE people. Then, I proceeded to show them everything. Teach them everything. The how's and the why's. I also patched up all the holes in our system that I'd taken advantage of. No employee was ever allowed to learn to do things in their own unique way again. They were required to teach others how it was done, so that I could replace them if I needed to. I didn't allow employees to have the sort of leverage I'd accrued. Because only crap bosses allow that to ever happen. Any improvement was made the standard. That's hard work. Using everything as an opportunity to get ahead. Wasting nothing. Thinking 3 steps ahead from any action you take. Yes, I did a lot of "crap jobs". So what? I never complained. I added them to my resume. I did those jobs so well that they were no longer "crap jobs" and took almost no time at all to complete. My resume is like 14 pages long with a myriad of random assorted jobs and tasks and skills I've acquired. Not to mention, each accomplishment. My only goal that I ever set out with, when I joined the workforce was, "I want to be unfireable. I want to be so important that nobody dares fire me.". That's it. So I was. So I am.

You have a lot of good mentalities. At the same time, many people can’t read people as well as you can. I know you’re tempted to say that this implies they shouldn’t be hiring, but many people have to hire that struggle to figure out the best candidates. Some candidates are incredibly good at misrepresenting themselves. The only reason I’m saying this is because I don’t agree with your idea of giving great reviews to bad employees. Lackluster references are fine and there for a reason. People can’t trust you if you misrepresent employees to them, and you need those relationships more than relationships to crappy former employees.

I'm going to have to disagree with your blanket statement about only sociopaths having a favourite firing. If you got to fire the sociopath at work, that would instantly become your favourite firing and I do not agree that that would automatically mean you're a sociopath. It sounds like this was your favourite firing, and I don't think you're a sociopath for it, nor should you think you are one. I think it's entirely justifiable to enjoy watching someone like him get fired. He earned it. He did deserve to lose his livelihood. Please don't ever feel like you're a bad person if you allow yourself to feel some satisfaction in watching him get what he deserved. You SHOULD feel satisfaction in having done the right thing. For whatever my opinion is worth.

@@coffeezombie6813 Well, the other commenter told me to "eat shit simp" so your opinion is at least worth considerably more than that. I was thinking in terms of the prevailing view, which is that bosses are all assholes who love firing people.

I feel like I just ate a really good meal, and you managed to sum it up in 2 and a half lines. I can only imagine the karma-boner you must've been feeling that day. It's pretty fantastical and I can totally see someone thinking it's too good to be true, but it still makes me feel good so I don't actually care if it is. lol

That's awesome XD
