'I sat in my car in disbelief: Employee shares why they got fired in LinkedIn post where they describe sleeping in their car to avoid commuting to work

You put years into your career, sacrificing your own happiness to get ahead, hoping someday to save enough money for an early retirement. You volunteer at work, get to your shift on time, and even take on projects that have nothing to do with your job description or department… what don't you do to make it? Then, one fateful day, the company announced layoffs. That is, if you're lucky. If you aren't, you just show up at work to find your keycard doesn't work anymore. Then the security guard informs you that you were actually fired. Wow, that's awkward.

But that's apparently what happened to this employee who shared a viral LinkedIn post where they described everything they did for their company, only to get fired. Of course, they painted a nice pretty picture of what a good worker they were so that they would be hired by someone else. Honestly, that's pretty smart. Not something I could fathom doing, but still. Scroll down to read the full post and story, and then check out this guest who didn't care about a hotel's policy, expecting a full refund after they checked in for 45 minutes.
