'[I] got fired 4 hours into my first day': Entitled coworker gets new warehouse employee fired for working too slowly even though it was his first day

Every new hire deserves a bit of patience and grace on their first day at work. After all, no matter how much experience you have in a certain field, every workplace environment is slightly different and will inevitably take a bit of adjusting. If you expect your new coworker to be able to complete a task on their first day as quickly as you do after several years, then you must be forgetting what it was like for you on your first day.

Even if you are someone who was thrown to the lions when you were starting out, why be that person who needs everyone coming after you to have the same challenging experience that you had? That's not paying your dues or creating some kind of karmic justice. All you're doing is further perpetuating the cycle of poor treatment in the workplace that you endured, rather than actually improving working conditions and leaving a better workplace environment than the one you joined. Leaving something better than you found it is what actually creates a positive impact at work. Letting unfair and unjust expectations continue only minimizes your impact and makes it seem like you might as well have just not worked there at all.

For this new warehouse employee, he was falsely accused of being lazy when juggling several tasks within his first four hours in a new workplace environment. The entitled coworker who felt that he wasn't pulling his weight went so far as to get the staffing agency to fire him during his first break.
