What is the fastest you have ever seen a new co-worker get fired?

3 hours into the first shift. Guy lost it serving an annoying customer in a grocery shop, throw a cabbage at her. The manager came and told him to go home cause he finished there. He wasn’t surprised. I was standing next to him, it was an entertaining day.

I worked for a major 3 lettered computer company. A new service tech was hired. Once he logged in, he pulled out a portable hard drive from his backpack, connected it to his machine, and started to copy everything he had access to. Within 3 hours security was escorting him out the door.

We had a new guy come in, go through all of the training on starting in our factory, lock out tag out and all of that stuff. Said he was an electrician. Then the very first job he was asked to do, he was found working on a machine with the power locked on. There are so many things wrong with that in an industrial setting, it’s unbelievable. My boss pulled him out of the machine, said “You’re too stupid to work here.” and walked him out of the building. I think he was an actual employee there for 3 days at that point and this was his first day actually on the production floor and not in training.

Bonus story because I apparently can’t read!

We had a guy go through the interview process, come in for his first day, take a tour of the plant and go to his car and go home.

It was a lime (no, not the fruit) processing plant. 2500F (1400C) kilns that turn limestone into activated lime. The whole place is filthy dirty all of the time, everything about that job sucked. I made it 4 months before the shit management and shit working conditions outweighed the pay. I am not surprised we had so many people quit within the first couple days or weeks of employment there, but this one guy was the fastest.

Edit: Sorry, I saw fired, but for some reason though “quit”.

We used to bet on which new-hire would last longer than a week. Gets hired, celebrates new job, drug tested, gone by lunch!!!!

As a teenager, I worked at a bowling alley. Within an hour, a new girl was fired on the spot for dropping a ball on the foot of a complaining patron.
