'My friend got fired... for drinking the sauces': 25+ Baffling reasons workers got fired

As a manager, you occasionally have to let someone go. A workplace never stays the same forever—people are hired, people quit, and people get fired.

Most companies obviously don't plan on firing workers when they first join the business. But according to these stories below, bosses can often tell quickly which employees will make it, and which are just totally wrong for the role. Whether people can't manage to show up on time, or keep calling out with bogus excuses, their company catches on pretty quickly.

Still, a lot of these bosses gave their employees second and third chances. But if you keep getting into altercations with the customers or continually answer the phone incorrectly, you're going to get shown the door. Some of the bosses who answered the prompt are awfully forgiving, though… they shared the "funniest/weirdest reason" they've ever had to let someone go.

The funniest types of employees in my opinion are the ones who call out of work sick, then come into their own workplace. Like if you're playing hooky from school, you wouldn't stop by your homeroom teachers' classroom to say hi. So why would you stop at your workplace to brag to your coworkers, knowing there's a good chance you'll get caught?

Check out the very funny tales below. Then, this catalog designer let their boss sign off on a faulty magazine print, and then watched the company burn hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix it.
