Boss fires employee after he told the payroll lady that he didn't get paid for his 1st day of work: 'I'm sorry Jan chewed you out for not doing your job, but did you have to take mine?'

He got fired because she was momentarily embarrassed.

If your best friend told you that they got fired from their job, what would you assume? Would you assume that their boss is evil, and made a decision that was utterly misguided? Or would you assume that your bestie said or did something that got them fired rightfully. Your answer to that question depends a lot on your best friends personality. We all have a friend who

Even if someone is even keel and generally professional, you can't assume that they got fired for no reason at all. People do things at work that can get them fired all the time. It's also true that a lot of employers have absurdly low bars for behavior they consider "fireable." An employer might fire an employee for using their personal computer to answer a company email on the weekend because they left their work computer at the office. Usually something like that, if it's against company policy, might result in an employee getting a firm talking to Monday morning, with the expectation that they never do anything like that again. If you fire employees for the most minor mistakes, you'll end up throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Soon enough, you won't have any employees to fire.

The employee in this story did not deserve to get fired under any circumstance. He altered the payroll employee that there was a problem with his paycheck, and his boss got unreasonably angry about this incredibly banal choice.
I got fired after a week on the job and I know why.
