'[They] pushed the photocopier down the stairs': 25+ Workers who got fired expeditiously

People tend to have some patience for the new person, but there are a few things they can do that will get them fired ASAP. In fact, if you were looking for ways to get out of a job the fastest, this is a great list of ideas. 

When a coworker gets fired, word spreads like wildfire. It quickly becomes the water cooler gossip of the day. The crazier the offense, the better the story is! After all, you have to be doing something majorly wrong if you're fired within hours of signing your onboarding paperwork. 

This person, u/mango-chocolate, asked r/AskReddit to share the "quickest way you saw a coworker get fired," and the answers didn't disappoint. Some workers didn't understand the company culture, like one woman who started her job, then spent the next afternoon shopping instead of working. Fired! Another person began working at a paper press, then decided to hit the emergency stop button "for fun." That was not the start the company was hoping for, and after losing 3-4 hours of productivity, they gave that dude the boot, too. There are some mistakes that make the business realize you're just not cut out for their company, and these people made some incredibly dumb moves. 

Check them all out below. Then, read about the behind-the-scenes world of influencers, like the person who thinks she's a Kardashian, but all of her followers are bought and paid for by her BF.
