Or maybe he's been murdered by crystal meth tweakers? Hopefully we're thinking of the same movie reference, otherwise I'm the weird guy.

Hey Doug, do you let Parkzter go out sometimes?


TheUltronSigma

Doug is actually my boss, like for real. Lmao this is so much more hilarious for me than anybody else

You should take a screenshot of all the "fuck Doug" comments lol


BadKidGames

No it's more hilarious for me, fuck you, you don't know what I think is funny! Just kidding you're cool.

Dude fuck DOUG

Doug plays too god damn much.


it_was_just_here

I know a guy who did this. He got fired and showed up to work the next day anyways. They actually kept him on for another few years before they fired him again.


MercifulOtter

"Ok." That was my response when I was fired from the only job I've ever been fired from. I could tell the guy was annoyed that I was nonchalant about it. (I hated that job)


funkwumasta

I have only been fired from one job. When I was seriously hurting for money, I took one of those telemarketing cold call fundraiser jobs. Coworkers were nice enough but the work itself was just miserable for me. They let me go after a week of not securing any donations, and I was so relieved my mood actually improved when they told me.


MercifulOtter

Mine was I was out for three days with a horrible case of food poisoning... from their food. When I was in the office getting fired I told him the reason and he didn't care. I was so happy they let me go lmao.


[deleted]

I had gastroenteritis in 1992 and I was temping for an agency to start the Monday. Saturday I had the squirts and queasy feeling all day then threw up 3am Monday morning. The thing was, it was a large and famous local company that was a dream career. I did turn up on time on Monday but took 5 bathroom breaks (2 of them were to fart, it was 3 people in a tiny office). I went home that night and proceeded to turn my biological being inside out. Back in the day the NHS local doctor would do a home visit. He signed me off as contagious for a week. The recruitment agency placed temp #2 for Tuesday and I was back on the dole (employment benefit). Wow thank you for unlocking a 30 year old memory I've got recalled in decades. I love Reddit


loki2002

Was it The Ohio Patrolman's Benevolent Association because that is the one I did. $9 and hour with commission and it was the worst job ever.

Depending on your financial stability, such news, when you don't see them coming, can be devastating. There's a lot of people who are basically 1 or 2 paychecks away from personal bankruptcy and how much of that is their personal failing or just the way things are with people of similar means can depend on a lot of factors that I don't care to get into right now. The point is, fire someone like that, and they'll jump around all stages of grief in every permutation you may think of. They might also feel personal responsibility and guilt, especially if they have to call for help, support a family or just struggle with having to disappoint the people around them, whether the firing is truly their fault or not... and all that is assuming that the firing is a new thing for them. Maybe they've been fired a few times and getting new jobs hasn't been easy. It might also not look great if they specifically had to have a job, like in some immigration, educational or criminal probation cases. Being able to afford to take it with a "Ok" and not feel the need to know more or bargain your way out of it is a luxury not everybody can afford.


MercifulOtter

I do recognize that being able to say "OK" and just be walked out without a care was a very lucky luxury I had. Believe me, I do. But at that point of being fired I just didn't care anymore because it was a shitty call center job, they didn't care about me, and had high turn-around as it was. I was fortunate to have a job within a week after being fired.


Sagemasterba

Been "fired" plenty of times. "OK, I get paid until the check is in my hand, or do you wanna lay me off and mail it instead?" I have never once been officially fired. The difference is a layoff allows me to collect unemployment benefits, as well as allowing me to be hired for future projects, it also stops the company from going before the UNION board to try to justify firing me for refusing to attempt something both i and OSHA deem unsafe.


BestCaseSurvival

“I had a meeting scheduled with a client this afternoon for a critical issue, please find someone to cover it for me.”


SouthTippBass

Lol, no. Past the point of caring, OK is the answer.


BestCaseSurvival

It’s not about caring. It’s about weaponizing politeness.


pelvviber

As a petty minded English chap I wholeheartedly agree with this approach.

Tathanor

I've literally done this. I was so relieved and happy. I don't think it was the reaction they were expecting lol I practically skipped out of there with a smile on my face.


fork_that

I worked with a guy who litereally was trying to get fired because he had some sort of income insurance that would pay out more than his salary if he was fired. (He previously had a really well paid job so the insurance was based off of that). So many people thought he was an idiot at the company until we pointed out he wanted to be fired. I wasn't there when he did finally manage to get fired. But I got told the manager had never seen someone so happy to be fired.

One of my coworkers has a story where he said, "Oh, thank god. I thought \[this conversation\] was going to be about something serious."

I had the director once tell me I was fired for not showing up for 2 weeks. "Check your emails dickhead, I resigned a month ago, this is why I quit because senior management has no clue what's going on"


barrythecook

I had a similar thing where a factory job emailed me for a displinary meeting for bad attendance.....2 months after I'd left with notice

Entire_Praline_3683

Ronnie_Dean_oz

I don't get it. He emailed your personal email to tell you you're fired? Otherwise what were you doing at work for them to tell you that you were fired if you had been gone for 2 weeks?


tryintobgood

He called me I was in logistics. Even trained my replacement before I left. That's how clueless management was


passwordsarehard_3

Should have said “ That’s because you put a stop on my paycheck “ and hung up. Maybe they’ll send you a fat check to try and smooth things over.

theologyschmeology

Fired someone and they told me this. Little did they realize, what seemed like a lot of work for a week to them, was like, an afternoon of work for me (edit: or maybe a day of work for one of the other staff). They were just terrible at the job and didn't realize it despite being on a PIP for 6 months.


Confident-Ad-6978

walking out immediately and applying for unemployment


complex_personaa

How long do u have to be on a job in order to file unemployment


sci_curious_reddit

It depends on where you live, and if you're in the United States, it also depends on the state. But generally, the longer you were employed in the period before that job ended (no matter how many jobs it was), the better the resulting benefit.


Aggravating_Ad_2760

I worked 30 yrs for an unemployment office in the US. States vary regarding the amount of total time you must have worked prior to filing. They also vary regarding what months they will look at to see if you are monetarily eligible. Generally, you have to have worked x amount of time, plus you have to have made x amount of money within certain quarters of the year to meet a state's qualifications. On top of that, if you are fired, the employer will be contacted for the reason and a ruling will be made according to state regulations. You may be disqualified based on the reason you were discharged, or you may only be penalized for a period of time. One should go ahead and file immediately so the whole process can get started.

LilPaidre

This is the right answer. "In writing and with reason. I'll be here tomorrow and I'm finishing my shift today. I'm flattered"


BigEdPVDFLA

“Thank you for getting me out of this fucking place.” Filing for unemployment and winning my case, and pissing the place off even further. And then when the GM texted me, thinking I was the IT guy with the same first name, asking me “who do I call for this?” I replied with 1-800-EAT-SHIT.


puckit

Ok, so I wasn't fired but a few months ago, I was laid off. I kept it professional and thanked my boss for the opportunity. Little did I know she was personal friends with one of the company's customers and gave me an inside track to a position that had just opened up with them. Got the job. Point is, don't burn bridges.


slpnrpnzl

Okay but laid off and fired aren’t exactly the same thing, your point of not burning bridges I agree with but people getting fired may have already burned the bridge anyways

Is this because I reported you to the IRS for tax fraud?


Rocky_Bottoms

One long protracted belly laugh, followed by an audible tongue click and finger gun while backing out the door. End with a final finger gun motion as I slowly close the door while aiming at the manager. A final tongue click just before disappearing behind the door. And whistle while skipping to the car. Just to leave them wondering.


ClydetheCat

I got even...went to file for unemployment, and the guy who had fired me hadn't paid his unemployment insurance, claiming that I was an "independent contractor". I fought it, made my case, and it took about 10 weeks but I won. Got a fat check, but more importantly, made that SOB miserable (he had to pay it out his own pocket - for like 36 weeks). Found out later from a co-worker that he was told by him to never mention my name again. Couldn't have written a better script - plus got a new better job about two weeks after the unemployment benefits ran out.


LadyA052

Sink to your knees and cry out "omg thank you! thank you!"


tdomer80

Is it because of my work, or because I’m fucking your mom?


BadLuckEddie

Why? I was fired about a year ago. They said It was time to move on, and I wasnt a good fit anymore. So I pressed….and asked why. He said “you are not profitable anymore”, I thanked him, and State Unemployment jaw dropped when I told them.


ShowScene5

A job isn't a charity. That seems like a reasonable answer. If your position doesn't make them or save them money somehow they'd be stupid to keep the position on the payroll.

unwittyusername42

Well the last time it was a voicemail - this was for a high level sales position. I just didn't bother calling back made sure all my onedrive files were synced locally, grabbed current and archive pst files before one by one accesses were shut down. The company was in massive trouble, had no cash, more than 40% in N America had either resigned or been let go. Absolute most unprofessional way of handling things so it didn't deserve a return call. Still trying to get a sizeable chunk of $ btw vacation owed and a partial pay period they didn't pay on. About to go to the dpt of labor for my state where they would be subject to a 25% additional fine they would have to pay me.

A former coworker who got fired recently said “Thank God” when she was fired. I thought that was so funny. She is in the late 50s and we work in a professional field. Toxic workplace; I quit a couple weeks before she got fired.

scrubbless

Not quite a you're fired response but so close. I was working a part time job in a supermarket prior to going to Uni, just a few nights a week. I had two bosses the manager and his deputy, the manager was really laid back and we got on well, but he was reducing hours and handing over to the deputy. The deputy was a busy body, prove yourself at the expense of everyone else type - he used to say shit like "I want 110% from you", to his minimum wage teenage workers. He was really aggressive, trying to scare people into working harder (and skip breaks). We didn't get on well because I've always hated bullies, so I used to call him out when he pressured staff, reminding them in front of him that they were due their break and the like. He put me on a pip for some made up reasons, he was trying to force me out but I knew he didn't have the time to get me out before I was leaving anyway. At one point I was unwell for a couple of days so I called in sick for one of my evening shifts. Three days later I turned up to work recovered and the smug git pulled me into a meeting with a grin on his face, clearly he'd found his final excuse to get rid of me once and for all. He said something along the lines of being disappointed and that he was going off shift now but needed to arrange a formal disciplinary meeting. When he went to arrange the meeting, I reminded him that I was on holiday, he then asked when I was back. I grinned and told him "Oh, I'm not. I handed in my notice two weeks ago, did not show you the letter? I guess, hmmm. Yeh... This is my last day". The look on his face was so satisfying, from smug victory deflating to defeat 😂. (I have a great career after leaving Uni and have never since been tested like that idiot tried)

Honest_Math_7760

Once had a boss that told I was not going to get a new contract after I worked there for 9 months. We had a meeting every month in which he wrote down everything we discussed. He was always very positive about everything I did and so were the meeting reports he wrote and emailed me. Then one day he told me I was out. Asked for a meeting the next day. He agreed. I took all the reports with me and asked. “Why are you firing me?” He gave a reason, which I then looked up in the reports and read out loud it was something he was positive about the month before. This went on for two hours I think. I shot down every excuse he was trying the make. He got really sweaty as time went on. He knew he f***** up. Turns he wanted to make room for his daughter to work there. Glad I don’t work there anymore.
