'Forgot cheese on cheese pizza, twice': 30+ Bosses share the super stupid reasons they had to fire someone

We hear a lot about bad bosses, so today, let's turn the tables and see why these bosses had to fire their employees for particularly outrageous behavior.

Bosses of Reddit joined in to share the actually crazy reasons they had to let their employees go. In any workplace, there are going to be your share of Perpetually-Late-Patties and Fake-Call-Out-Freds. But these employees took it one step further. They didn't just toe the line, they jumped over it.

I saved my favorite story for last — a story of a catering employee who was so incompetent at her job that she sounds like Amelia Bedelia. She was told to put some water bottles into a cooler of ice, and she instead opened every single bottle and poured it into the cooler. Her boss must have done a facepalm heard round the world! She took things way too literally, and she's not the only employee to be too literal in the workplace. Keep scrolling to check out this incredible thread.

And speaking of facepalms, click here to laugh at these peoples' failed texting conversations.
