20+ Employees who got fired on the spot: 'Everyone was fired in one fell swoop'

We all hope it never happens, but sometimes you do get fired from a job. It happens to the best of us! 

It's different all over the world, but in many parts of the USA, getting fired is a regular part of life. There aren't many laws preventing employers from firing an employee just because they feel like it. Instead of giving them a few weeks' warning or even putting them on a PIP first, many bosses choose to lay their employees off. This can send any worker into a tailspin: now they have to find a new job while also struggling to make ends meet in the meantime. 

Check out the reasons these people were fired (to be fair, some were more justified than others). Some people just came into work to find that their job was eliminated, while others told their bosses to eff off, resulting in a swift firing. Check out a bunch of interesting anecdotes below. 

Next, read the update from a customer who just wanted to buy a piece of furniture, only to be judged by the employees: "The store... treated me like I was not a potential client."
