'I fired 3 new hires on the first day': 20+ Employees who got hired and fired at lightning speed

No matter how badly you perform at your job today, take comfort in the fact that you aren't a newly-hired chef who doesn't know how to make even the simplest quesadilla. Hired on as an executive chef, the bosses soon realized that the guy couldn't even put cheese between two tortillas without a struggle. I can't imagine what this wannabe chef was thinking… there's lying on your resume, and then there's just throwing caution to the wind and hoping you can learn everything on the fly. Of course, most business professionals will see right through this kind of ruse. It's amazing some of these people even got through their interview stages before getting shown the door.

Some people are just smooth talkers. They chat up the HR person, or perhaps they're a nepo-hire, and they land a job that they have no business being in. Some people realized this within an hour or so, while others lasted a few weeks or months. Sometimes you have a job so briefly that it doesn't even make an appearance on your resume.

So truly, take heart in your own workplace abilities today: scroll down and check out all of the hilarious and surprising stories of these hired-then-fired workers. Then, read about one new hire whose bold tactics cost him his job immediately: "By 3 PM his keycard didn't work anymore."
