Top 10 Outrageous Reasons To Be Fired

Top 10 Outrageous Reasons To Be Fired photo

Not all firings are fair. In fact many get fired for the wrong reasons that have nothing to do with their employment. After surveying 100 people, this is what they thought were the most outrageous reasons.

 

1. Not noticing grade 3 students have oral sex:

A teacher in Tallulah, Louisiana was fired in March of 2012, when she failed to notice that two of her students were having oral sex under the desk in her classroom. This was not a high school class room and neither was it a middle school classroom. This occurred at Tallulah Elementary School in the grade 3 classroom. In grade 3, this is the last thing that teachers would worry about. They should be more worried about hair pulling, spit balls and maybe bullying, but not this.

 

2. Giving a free timbit to toddler:

Timbits costs about $0.20 give or take. Many timbits go into the garbage at the end of the day because of a lack of sale. Nicole Lilliman, 27, was fired for giving a toddler a free timbit. 3 managers caught her by camera and called her in where she was fired. The head office found that the actions of the managers who fired her were inappropriate and reinstated her job. Lilliman is a singler mother of 4.

 

3. Wrongful accusations of abuse:

It has come to my attention that accessibility is no longer a priority for people with disabilities. Moving an individual with severe muscular dystrophy and osteoporosis is a challenge, especially when you are moving them from a van with no ramp to the wheelchair. A non-for-profit organization based in Ontario fired its worker for accidentally dropping the person off the wheelchair, claiming that the worker lied to the parent. The worker stipulated that despite the case load, he was seeking assistance from one of the supervisors, who did not add the breaks. As they needed a scapegoat and they couldn't fire the supervisor, they fired the worker instead. When the worker filed a claim with Ministry of Labour, the organization tried to dismiss the case based on no primo facie and the fact that it was contracted. Harassing employees or contractors is indifferent, and no organization should treat a contractor differently because there is more lea way for firing.

 

4. Being Gay:

Al Fischer, a Gay Music Teacher was fired from a catholic school for revealing his plans to tie the knot in New York to his partner. He was a Missouri based teacher at St. Ann Catholic School, where he worked for 4 years. The pastor and St. Louis Archdiocese echoed the sentiments in a statement that the school was in full compliance.

 

5. Posting celebrity tip:

Peyton Manning was dining at the Angus Barn, a restaurant which sees frequent celebrities. His bill came to $739.58 and included an 18% gratuity and an additional $200.00, which would equal to 50% of the total. The server, Jon, was fired for posting the photo of the receipt online. The restaurant has a strict policy of private dining.

 



 

6. Not sleeping with Manager:

A friend of mine was fired for not sleeping with her Manager. The manager was sexually harassing her, trying to date her and even woe her into his bed. Interestingly enough, the manager was also married with children. The activity was filed with Human Rights Commission.

 

7. Being Pregnant:

Hunter Tylo was fired from Melrose Place in early 1996 after telling producers she was pregnant. She was not even featured in any episodes, before replaced by Lisa Rinna. The actress sued Spelling Entertainment for pregnancy discrimination and wrongful termination and breach of contract. She was awarded nearly $5 million in settlement.

Janet Hubert from Fresh Prince of Belair was also fired for the same reasons. Better known as Aunt Viv, the actress claimed that the producers forced off the show for these reasons, slashing her salary and screen time.

Another publicized case was Shane Stirling, one Barker beauty. She filed a lawsuit alleging that Bob Barker personally had a role in the firing in 2006.

 

8. Working at Hooters:

Nicole Zivricn, a cheeleading coach, was fired from the high school job because of her second job at Hooters. The firing occurred after one mother wrote a number of emails to the board and superintendent objecting to her other job. One person even wrote that her daughter at least would not be waiting tables. This is outrageous and uncalled for. The second job in no way harms the reputation of the school unless the woman is doing something illegal.

 

9. Criticizing Boss on Facebook:

What happened to the basic human rights and rights to have an opinion? An EMT got fired recently for criticizing boss on Facebook. Dawnmarie Souza, as well as others, should be cautious as to who they add on Facebook. Souza wrote that her company allows a 17 year old to become a supervisor. The firing decision was overturned.

 

10. Shaving Hair:

Stacey Fearnall was fired for shaving her head. Fearnall was doing it to honour her father who died of cancer. The hair was donated to charity. The boss told her to go home after she refused to wear a wig.
