Have you even been fired? If so why?

Well, I was fired for a very similar reason. When I was working for Walmart I had started work at a newly built store. When I first started they said I would have three warnings or three chances to improve what I was doing. Well, the first warning I received was because I was running slow of the 3 things they wanted me to do in a 10 minute period. I had to clean the men, women, and family restroom, then sweep the store floors, then I had to bring in all grocery carts off the lot. I was the only person working the floor doing these three different jobs. I was the only person bringing the carts off the parking lot and sweeping the floors. The Asst. Mngr. was always trying to find something wrong with what I did. Mostly because she was very discriminatory about people with mental disabilities. My second Warning was because of a change in my medicine. Which caused me to get real sick and tired and the asst mngr didn't like that. The third warning, was because I was sick on the days off they gave me, an Employee quit working so they decided to pull me in on the days off they gave me four weeks in advance and have me work. Well, I had the full two weeks off, and when I came in the next day the Asst. Mngr. Called me into her office at the near end of my shift and fired me because she said I lied about why I didn't come into work.

I just started working after graduating from uni. Have to work hard to ensure job security. Hopefully, I will not have that experience in my whole life..

i cant say that i was fired from wal mart but maybe this will make some of you happy. they were messin around with my hours they would give my 40 one week and then the next week give me 7 yeah 7 hours.. I looked for another job and waited till the busiest time and walked out on them. I had never done that before I felt bad at first but after words I felt pretty good I work my ars off for them and that was thanks i got na no thank you.. my sister works for them now just hope she dont have problems with them

I did too! I got fired because they said I could miss a day so I did, then they said I couldn't, and fired me! Ugh! Screw Walmart!

Yes I had a manager fire me for a one time offense of stealing company time. I came back late from a break and was made an "example" of. Yet today I hear people still do it. Go figure!
