Employee gets fired on the spot after making an ‘unprofessional’ joke about the CEO being bald, to the CEO's face: ‘It genuinely felt like an innocent, self-deprecating joke’

We've all had moments where our brain has lost every last shred of common sense, and we end up doing a stupid thing that later prevents us from being able to go to sleep at night.

90% of the time, as much as those moments make us cringe and feel like the dumbest people on Earth, they are harmless. Sure, we might have made fools of ourselves, but it would probably be forgotten by everyone else in a matter of hours, and you can hopefully just move on.

But in the other 10% of the time, well, those moments actually do have consequences.

Saying something dumb to a stranger is usually harmless. For example, when a server tells you to enjoy your meal and you reply with 'you too', a harmless mistake that they probably haven't even clocked. Saying something dumb to a boss, however, can result in more than just an awkward moment in the office, it can very well cause you to lose something important, like your workplace dignity, or even your job.

The employee in the story down below didn't think that the joke they made in front of their company's CEO was that bad, but it was apparently bad enough that it cost them their job.
However, it doesn't seem like this story will cause the now unemployed fella to lose any sleep, as they seem to think they didn't do anything wrong. Even if other people strongly disagree.
I don't want to give away too much of the tale, because it is genuinely hilarious, so please scroll down to read it all.

This definitely would have made me lose a few nights of sleep and maybe a few extra strands of hair. But at least the employee found it funny, and didn't seem to regret their actions!
Let's hope their next boss will have flowing and lush head of hair.
