As much as we want to side with the employee on this one, you have to be pretty bad at your job to get fired after 2 hours. That's what happened to this now very unemployed dude, who posted this thread on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit and was not exactly met with the kind of response they were clearly hoping to receive.

Here's the situation. On this guy's first day at a remote job, he stepped away suddenly during a training session so his Dad could pick up some pork from his fridge (yup, you read that right!), and when he returned, he learned that he had been fired. Sure, this was definitely a bit harsh, but also this guy clearly used horrible judgment. You know you're the problem when people in the comments of the r/antiwork subreddit are telling you that you messed up. Let's at the very least hope that his Dad was able to enjoy that pork.
