LOL!!! Firing people, like being fired can suck, but it can be so funny as long as your not the one getting fired.

Some of these stories remind me of someone I fired last year.

I run a small entertainment store, and we have a fairly typical package and coat inspection policy with regard to employees. Every time an employee leaves the store they "check-out" by having thier coats patted down and thier bags inspected for any pilfered cd's, dvd's, and/or games.

I had recently hired an assistant manager who interviewed well, but was having alot of performance issues like tardiness and training issues during her month-long employment. I was informed by other employees that when I wasn't around she was leaving the store and neglecting to volunteer for "check out" as is clearly required and demonstrated during the first day orientation and every shift there -after. Due to the high level of loss caused by employee theft in my industry the next day I called her into the office and gave her a very serious verbal and written final warning at the end of her shift. She totally and completely denied any wrong doing.

At the end of this meeting after agreeing that she would "check-out" according to store policy or be fired, she got up, grabbbed her coat and bag and left the store in the PLAIN SITE of myself and the rest of the managment staff with-out volunteering to have her stuff inspected.

When I fired her the very next morning she could not understand why.
