Please fire me. There was a small fire at our company, and the third shift didn’t realize they had to call the fire department and evacuate the building. They called the IT guy, because the fire was near electrical equipment. The next day management decreed all employees had to undergo safety training. Did training start with the third shift workers? No way. Day shift went first. After a week management decided to stop the retraining because it was costing too much. The second and third shifts really didn’t need safety training anyway.

Please fire me. I was out with the flu. The next day my boss called me into his office. While he was eating his third bag of gummy bears and swigging directly from a 2-liter bottle of Dr. Pepper, he informed me that he wouldn’t approve my sick time. ”It’s your own fault you get sick. You don’t eat healthy like I do.”

Please fire me. A client delivered a dozen cupcakes to our department as a token of her appreciation. My boss said she had to leave early (it was 11am) because they were too tempting and she was on a diet. I had to stay late to cover her shift. But the cupcakes were delicious.

Please fire me. I got into an argument with my shift manager and his come back was “At least I’m not waiting tables to put myself through college”. What does that even mean?

Please fire me. Today I got defecated on 12 times while changing the depends (diapers) of residents (old folks) because the cook felt it was a good idea to include fiber and strange pork into the diets of the residents.

Please fire me. I just spent over 3 hours on really nice marketing materials that my boss has requested the originals versions of so he can edit them. In Paint.

Please fire me. My manager walked out on me the other night to do a drug deal and I was left to run the whole store alone during a rush. When he finally came back all he did was sweep and mop an already clean floor.

Please fire me. I lost hours at a job I’ve been at for over a year because as my boss said I’ve “lost my mojo.” Yeah, because I was extremely ill with bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection for three weeks. Excuse me for being a little slower than normal!
