People who have been straight up fired on the spot. What happened?

Chef here. Got fired because I sent out a steak that had char on it. The only char on it was grill marks.

All right lady, you just saved me a huge mess. Who would want a steak without char?

When I worked as a server, we had a family that would routinely come in and want

well-done stakes with no black marks. They sent several stakes back the first time they came,

and eventually one of our cooks microwaved their steaks. They came back two or three times a month

for the rest of the time I worked there, and happily ate microwaved steaks, a bunch of weirdos.

Everyone was fired in one fell swoop.

They'd decided to stop having our work from home department.

It explained why I'd spent the last two weeks training people who they'd originally said

were not eligible to work my job.

I handed my boss my two weeks notice and she ripped it in half and said,

Don't bother, you're done today. H.Q. wasn't too thrilled with her decision, as they had to pay me

a severance because of her hatred toward me. I came back to my summer job at an amusement park

from missing three days with strep throat. I handed in my doctor's excuse and was

fired for missing work. Apparently, to call off you couldn't just talk to a manager, you had to talk

to the department head, a person I'd never met with a phone number that had never been made available

to me. Because I missed more than two days, it didn't matter that I had a note, because I was

considered a no-call and no-show.

The assistant manager I gave my excuse to handed me a letter back that said I had 10 minutes

to clear out my locker and vacate the premises, or they'd call the cops for trespassing.

I was 16, in a state with very liberal employment laws, and my mum retained a lawyer.
