'Fastest "you're fired" ever': Over-employed worker gets fired in 28-second phone call

When you're fired, you don't want the process to be long and drawn out, and this dude has seemingly perfected the art of saying goodbye without a care in the world. 

As an "over-employed" worker, it's all but certain you'll get fired at some point. You can't really help it! Being over-employed means that the employee is working at 2 or more jobs during the same 9-5 time slot — basically 2-timing their own workplaces. They have a lot of strategies to avoid getting found out, like never posting on LinkedIn and avoiding social media at all costs. But part of being an overemployed worker is that you are basically always going to be the worst at your job. You will miss meetings. You will drop every ball. You will overlook a lot of emails and Slack messages. And it's all because you're trying to do 16-24 hours of work in an 8-hour window every single day. 

You may have gathered by this point that this is the kind of thing that few companies are willing to tolerate. The risks are high, but the payout is incredible if you can get away with this for a little while.
