How Did Someone Get Fired On The Spot?

[@jccw227]

I used to work in a movie theater. We had one coworker who was grossly incompetent. He couldn’t clean to save his life, and he would talk endlessly and make insensitive comments to the girls on staff. The GM never liked to fire people so we were kinda stuck… that is until one evening shift . While working in the box office, a customer (a heavyset black woman) came up, and he called her “Precious”, referring to the movie of the same name. Naturally, the poor woman began crying. The manager on duty fired him immediately while some other coworkers offered the customer a chance to kick his ass while they looked the other way. Everyone hated this guy. That wasn’t even the end of it. He came in the very next day and tried to work like nothing had happened, and the same manager who fired him had to yell at him to get out. The most clueless person I’ve ever had the misfortune of working with.

The comment about the nurse at a school made me realize how sheltered you’ve been from the realities of serious illness. (Fwiw, I’m very happy some people have been sheltered from that. It’s a rough life.) But yes, nurses will follow around kids if needed. Most disabled kids only need an aide, which are almost never full RNs. But full RNs can also be involved. There were times my baby brother had both his aide and a home health nurse with him at school. The home health nurse would be there to administer 4-8 hour long IV treatments. School was the best time for this as he’d be too distracted to pull at the IV tube in his chest. (He had a port, like chemo patients have. So his IVs entered his chest by his collar bone.) Kids with tracheotomies, the tube in the throat to help with breathing, are the most likely to have RNs as aides, in my personal experience. Those can need frequent suctioning which must be done by an RN at school in many places. Family members do this at home, but rules are different inside a school.)

ADA says that if student needs a nurse, then they get a nurse to follow them around. It isn't the teacher's problem unless the nurse is causing problems. It can happen in any school by federal law given in an IEP.

I got one and this was VERY recently. Like, a week ago. I work part-time at my local Cinemark as a cook. Basically, I'm the guy who cooks the burgers, fries, Mozzarella sticks, pretzel bites, etc. One Sunday, I was tasked with training a new cook who was recently hired. We went through the training and I showed him how things are done. He seemed to catch on and understood how things were done. About a couple of hours before the end of my shift (6pm), one of my managers called him to the office. I was under the assumption that he was called up to sign some additional paperwork since he was a new hire. But...he never returned. Then my co-worker was called, and then I was. My manager asked me if I had heard anything inappropriate from any of the new hires. Confused, I truthfully said no, but that I would keep my ear out and alert them immediately. I learned from my co-worker that the new cook that I trained was fired on the spot for flirting with a female coworker and making her uncomfortable the day before. What made it worse was that she was 16.....and he was 30. Yeah. He was hired and then fired for being a creep.

Former teacher here. Regarding having a nurse or an aide of any kind who stays with a student throughout the school day is something that does happen for students who have what is known as an IEP when they have special needs. I had one student who had an aide who had been with one of my kids since the year after he had started attending school in our school system. And we had another student in our school who had a nurse who was with a student who had had medical condition that required her to have a nurse with her. These professionals were paid by the school system. This was in a public school system. And no, we were not a wealthy school system. In fact, it was quite the opposite. But it was a lot cheaper than having the school system sued into oblivion which is what would have happened if we didn’t follow the IEP because that would have been the consequence. IEPs, once signed off on by all parties, have all of the power of a signed contract or a law that has been passed by the government, and they must be obeyed. And if the school system and the parents are not on the same page about the best interests of the child, an IEP meeting can involve attorneys for both sides & can be quite tense. And there can be a lot of people involved to negotiate the terms. I’ve been involved in more than one such meeting.

I got one. Security guard working at a major bus terminal. Had a co worker who was just lazy and had a crap attitude One day, the company that ran the terminal got a fleet of new busses and were now moving them from the port to the compound. Anyway i get tasked with helping inspect the busses as they wait to hed to the garage in tge back. When i see the co worker walking with her cell phone along side the busses. Keep in mind she was not supposed to be there and had left her post but that not all. Later that day, i get called into the booth where our supervisor is and he shows me a video. Apparently Ms Lazy had been live streaming the busses and making some very colorful/ questionable comments about them. And unfortunately for her, the CEO of the bus company saw it. Yea.. she got kicked off the site that same day and was ordered to head to the head office to explain herself. But i never saw her again. It was not until a couple week later i find out that Ms Lazy cussed up a storm in the head off after she got fired. Cuase she coukd have cost us that contract and cause alot of people to be sent home. I dont know where she is, but i cant see her ever holding a job again.

Mediation or consultation could have resolved the situation for the manager who got fired for hugging. If the coworker wasn't didn't file the report, then her husband had no grounds to stand on. Sounds like a Sam Walton business.

This was second hand so not sure of all details, but basically a guy decided to celebrate getting a job at a fast food establishment by smoking a joint… right in front of the manager that had approved his drug test.

Some slight context here this is another Walmart story of mine. The associate(s) assigned to the electronics department on night shift, (randomly selected based on the workload on any one given night) is given a set of keys to all the cages and glass displays. The associate in question who had the keys that night, let's call her Jade. Jade with now full access to all the stuff in that department attempted to steal around $10,000 USD worth of electronics mainly cell phones ,which Jade openly after being caught admitted that she was going to give them out to her family members as gifts. Other product she attempted to steal were chargers, screen protectors, phone cases, and even a few Roku sticks for her TVs. She apperently walked all this stuff out to her car in a shopping cart right out the front doors. I honestly don't know who caught her, but I did get to witness her being escorted out of the building in cuffs. Jade is permanently trespassed and black listed from all Walmarts in the United States, and of course she was fired on the spot. Her charges grand larceny, and possession of stolen property with intent to distribute. Edited: For further context and grammar.

I think the kid in the story about the nurse was spoiled. 'they've had plenty of bad nurses since then' I'm gonna go ahead and guess the kid or the family is actually insufferable and won't listen to advice.

[@EllowynKeevah]

I really enjoy you videos. They are super entertaining and there is always another one to watch.

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

@Mostly Facts a nurse or personal aid is allowed at any school with a student , or an employee for that matter to assist them with any medical, health or reasonable accommodations that person has a need for if it directly relates to their disability or health need. so yes, that would be the reason, and yes, a person can have a health aid, or personal aid with them if they need it due to a specific disability or health/medical need. as per the ADA and IDEA laws.

[@SilveerStarr]

oh my god i actually have one. this happened last month or so, and i didn’t directly witness a good portion of it cus i was working, but it was an eventful time lol. so this relatively new guy was a below average worker, did the tasks well enough but was very slow and was almost always on his phone & played his music out loud (both against work policy). a supervisor told him to get off his phone, guy got mad about it and got in super’s face. the other super and the director came over to help w the situation, guy got in their faces too and apparently made threats severe enough to have the sheriff come in. guy apparently got in the sheriff’s face so guy got arrested. over being told to put his phone away. dumbest thing ever.

Hi! First, baby! How everyone is doing well

Hi

[@Spacemanct]

Too much commentary in these videos.

[@emilsecker7881]

Don’t want them. You’re not forced to 🙄

[@astralmiind]

Plenty of Reddit channels out there. I personally enjoy that there’s one that’s not a robotic AI voice mispronouncing words and reading replies with no indication of switching off the story. This guy seems like a good balance of commentary and stories, his responses are never really over 30 seconds long, anyways. It’s a nice touch of humanity, which most of these channels lack.
