Nobody starts a job hoping to get fired, but sometimes when the burnout hits we're all one rude customer away from bailing on society to live on the grid in a remote cave...
So, if you could use a healthy dose of job-related catharsis to distract you from your grind, here are the best tweets we could find from people who got fired in terrible, epic, or hilarious ways.

1. They removed me from the WhatsApp group and called me to tell I’ll be receiving my final salary that day.
2. Over ice cream 💀

My high school Econ teacher told me that if I pursued acting, I’d be waiting tables for the rest of my life. Well, jokes on him because I got fired my first day at California Pizza Kitchen. The other waiters wouldn’t even include me in tip share.

can’t believe I got fired two months before the pandemic because I was too sick to come to the office every day and they didn’t want to give me *special treatment* (aka let me wfh a couple days a week)

Throwback to when I used to play piano & sing in a very popular theatre bar in the West End, but I got fired after a regular customer complained after forcing their way through to sit on my lap to tell me that I was the worst because I didn’t know any Billy Joel #Pianist #TBT pic.twitter.com/eoV9OxPiLg

Someone applied for leave and because they wanted to fire her, they asked IT to delete proof that the leave was granted and fired her when she got back by saying she went on leave without permission #horriblebosses

I got fired from my job last week. Only because my child was sick and I didn't have a sitter. [yeah, I know right?] I kept a positive vibe and it only took me 4 days to get a new job. Which pays way better then my last job. I'm just thankful.

One time i worked at a bakery and adored it, I worked the worst shifts and learned how to do stuff that my coworkers couldnt do, covered every shift i possibly could and then found out i was getting paid less than literally everyone else. So i asked for a raise and got fired ❤️

One time i almost got fired from my job in retail because at 17 i tweeted out "it would be my luck no one can cover my shift when I'm sick" and I had to have a sit down meeting with my manager bc "someone had brought it to her attention" https://t.co/XhKjITW4WV
