I don't even get the idea of some parents just leaving their child unattended and just leaving, that alone should be a security call.
I used to be a librarian for a few years. Every summer, parent would drop their children off and go to work or whatever else they wanted to do. These kiddos would be unsupervised for over 8 hours. Some of the parent used to drop their kid off before the library was open, and the child had to wait outside until we opened. We would tell them to wait in front of the glass door so we could try and keep an eye on them. One of our custodial service reps told a child, in a respectable manner, to stop running in the library. The mother was told and she came into the library with a knife. The police were called. It ridiculous what some parents are capable of. This is one of the reasons why I found another job.
Yeah exactly. That’s literally child neglect.
Unfortunately apparently people do this everywhere i worked in a comics/vintage nerd memorabilia store on a military base and parents would leave their brats for hours sometimes even leaving but i was not allowed to do anything but try and watch them
@@shontaewilliams8639 that's so dramatic

If im not wrong, story 4 had grounds for wrongful termination. he could've filed a lawsuit against gamestop because firing someone for a tweet and a mother's absent behaviour is not proper grounds for termination.
That mother should should have been thankful that guy alerted security. She was definitely would not have been a victim if the kid was kidnapped. She left the kind unattended for 2 hours and wasn't even in the same building. I really do hope that guy countersued the woman for getting him fired, and the DM for wrongful termination.
While I don't agree with it, at will states can fire you for any reason except for discrimination.
@@KiinyoWest Next up: Gamestop fires employee that saves child from pedophile in store.
Really good publicity.
Rain world profile picture?
Yes it is. There is only one state in the country that is not an at will employment state. You can be fired for anything. They don’t like your hair, your shoes, your face, whatever. You can also quit for any reason you want
The only time you’re going to be able to sue is if it’s discrimination and people using twitter are not a protected class
I had an interview for a very good pay job. I passed the test and was approved to receive the job. However, at the orientation it was required that we make a social media page. I told the one orientating that that I will never be a member of a true social media network. A semi-anonymous TH-cam rant is the closest I would get and that is a video sharing network that allows commentary. The woman then told me it was a requirement to work there. I simply stood up and said, "Thank you for your time," and left. I do not know why a social media network page was a requirement for a job servicing, repairing, and configuring communication equipment. I never asked. I will never have a true social media network page. I know nobody. Nobody knows me. I have no family in the continent I reside. There is no reason to have a drama net account.
Sounds like you played yourself, tbh. All you had to do was make a social media account for work purposes, lol.
@@socialmoon Fair point, but the requirement to have a social media page probably would have had other more invasive requirements attached to it. My guess is it would have been the tip of the iceberg.
What kind of social media page? They probably asked you to get the companies messaging app. Crazy ass.
@@sexygirlmax2019 definitely not. crazy ass.
I don't use any time of social media except for yt
That GameStop one is a lawsuit
You know what? I just laughed when I saw the FREAKING PICTURE OF TANJIRO ON THE THUMBNAIL 😂
For the people being fired after refusing to break the law (serving alcohol to minors) or not lying to customers (claiming the monetary glitch was intentional) should definitely sue! Companies definitely shouldn’t be able to profit over such stuff and take it out on the employees when they’re denied.
Company policies don't supersede the law.
I almost got fired from my first job because of several things I posted on Facebook (It was a fast food joint in an uppity neighborhood, I was 17) One day one of the other guys confronted the boss (very loudly) about how he knew what we posted on social media. He indirectly admitted to stalking a bunch of us online to make sure what we posted "fit the culture" of his fast food franchise chain. The job paid $7.25 and he thought we all had to censor ourselves to not make him look bad.
Honestly it's kinda creepy if your employer is stalking your social media to find incriminating evidence to fire you. Unless you're posting horrendous things and offensive hot takes, then yeah that's probably concerning. But if you're getting fired over taking pics of yourself at a bar having a good time and living your life, that's pretty petty. They're mad they can't have fun like you I suppose
It’s not the employers themselves that look thru ppls social media, they most likely have a HR look at the socials
@@Starchild42 I wonder why that is. That's kinda weird to me tbh.
@@Kakmanmartinez666 paint a picture of workers as the problem when corporate literally just pay people to deal with angry workers cause the big guys raking in money don’t want to hear it
The coal industry does this kind of shit... along with other shady things that HR carries out for them. That industry is pizza shit through and through, and always has been. I could write a book on the shady shit I've seen and the archaic ways of doing things. Look up Bob Murray and that'll give you a good idea as to the mentality
That's such a Puritan take. I thought Puritanism died after the 18th Century.
A classmate of mine in Paramedic school lost her job as an EMT and licensure to work in EMS because she decided to post a selfie with her first career DOA. She was also, of course, kicked out of the class. None of us had any sympathy.
That's a sick bitch!!!!!!
The HELL

18:46 - 19:00 give this man a raise that voice was beautiful
Definitely 🎉🎉
Seriously.
The dude needs to start doing voice acting work in anime and stuff.
I read a story on Reddit where a firefighter responded to a fire at a grocery store, and he witnessed a customer not only refuse to evacuate the store, but she was screaming in a manager’s face (the manager of the department _where the fire was_ mind you) because she wanted to shop in that section and couldn’t. OP walked straight up to the woman and yelled “F*** OFF!” in her face because he knew the manager couldn’t do it. The customer actually called OP’s boss and filed against him, but he only got a mild lecture about screaming the f-word at people.
Should have let her in
Hahaha..ha.....ha......oh our species is just.....ahhhgh
Wow
Man if you got a firefighter telling you to f off you really gotta reconsider your life choices 😬
@@v4n1ty92 Fr
18:46 You had way too much fun with that one, and it shows, freaking hilarious
Not me but a couple of agency nurses. They got DNR'd at the hospital I work at because they posted a picture of beer in a patient food fridge and captioned it "Guess where I'm working tonight?" The other agency nurse commented the correct hospital name. They were both told never to return. (Back in the day if a doctor had an alcoholic patient admitted for something other than alcoholism they would order a single beer every evening. This was a patient of one of the older Drs about 15 yrs ago.)
Digital footprint, it’s a thing, be careful of what you post on social media. It doesn’t just get rid of your jobs, it can be used in a trial.
As for the fake id firing, in my state a call to the Alcohol Beverage Commission would have an undercover sting going in no time.
"It cost $0 to be nice to yourself." Good advice
People should be aware that companies check social media before hirering. It saves them a lot of work sorting out idiots.
18:47 top tier voice acting
Not lost a job but she didn't get the job because she was on Paradise Hotel and they found some old clips of her going crazy and screaming at the other contestants. They said they couldn't hire her because what if she screamed like that at the children? It was a job in a kindergarten. She tried explaining that the clips were taken out of context and how they're being treated and asked to act out for reality tv but he didn't know her and couldn't take her word for it. He had to think of the children, so she didn't get the job.
Depending on where you work, your employer getting you in trouble over a social media post is actually illegal and you should definitely report them over that, if they try it. Specially if it's not in a public setting, something like a friends-only Facebook post count as part of your privacy.
No. That’s not a thing
@@crimeandcrafting Yes it is a thing, at least in the states. You have a right to privacy.
@@Mangotropolis you have zero privacy on social media. If that was a thing, you wouldn't have to agree to give up rights to all photos you post, have all your info sold to 3rd party companies for marketing, and have your profile banned at any time
@@patrickm2912 Your employer does not have a right to look at private content that you post. It's a simple concept to understand. :) Private life, none of their business. Defend your rights.
@@Mangotropolis apparently it's not a simple concept. Social media isn't private.
Also, one story from mine but not from getting fired. On the opposite, i was never contracted for the most prettiest and idiotic reasons: "not having social media or active one". Similar to Story 11.
YEAH!!! Not been active on social media is considerate a point of content for not getting hired. I literally face palmed and start to think: "I'm better off working myself in what i like before i literally plant a bomb to this people and blew them to bits". And btw! i had social media, only not a type of personal one but one with my artist name instead. I decide to work on my own and said to this type of works: "HAHA! NO!!! my life, my choice, my PRIVACY"
For that i make a new account related to that and speak in HR tone all the time. But YOU WONT GET ANYTHING PERSONAL out of me, my ideas, opinions, facts or any other bs that can be user of as emotional blackmail or termination blackmail by exploitative pricks.
Same to me. I don't like social media. I have seen everybody who get deeply involved getting crazy, getting extremist political views, or getting sadder...also, when I used it a little, I have bad luck and someone (I suspect it was a particular person I know) stalked me.
I don't want to share my life and privacy.
@@genzi78514 Same here. I only had Whatsapp for contact reasons and i only use for that (like emergencies, calls and contact some stores).
@UnitTrace yeah! that is the other side. I know when they don't want to hire people too, as i been study behave and signs from interviewers as well and pick their words and gestures.
Never add your co-workers to social media until u leave that job 😆 always cover your tracks people!
AItG: Please, take care of yourselves! I don't want to read more stuff like this!
Me: Ok.
AItG: It costs $0 to be nice to youself.
Me: Nevermind.
It should be federally illegal to fire anyone for non work related things, such as social media posts
Not really lose a job, but I have a related story.
I live in Israel, and we have mandatory army service- but orthodox Jewish women don't have to serve, since army service may not allow them to keep their religious lifestyle and modesty (before y'all jump in with how it's a petty excuse, many of them volunteer for service or volunteer to help the community in other places like hospitals or schools instead of the army).
Anyway, apparently there were multiple cases where women claimed to be orthodox so they wouldn't have to serve; but then the officers checked their Facebook and found pictures in bikinis and stuff like that, so they got caught lying and were forced to enlist.
Mandatory army service seems more imoral than dodging it tbh.
@@brandendierker5873 I think it kind of makes sense. I mean they are a country perpetually at war. Also looking at some Euro countries that do it makes me think a year of mandatory service might not be a bad thing (obviously aside from those who can’t do it for real reasons). Could also be very handy for natural disasters etc.
@@brandendierker5873 it can teach you discipline and make you capable of defending your country if it becomes necessary
@@methatis3013 Army time eliminates Karen tendencies for sure.
@@brandendierker5873 it make sense when israel is at war with a lot of country on many fronts mainly with palestine
Another healthcare instance - i worked at a place where one of the nurses who care for children posted they couldn't believe they had taken care of the child of a guy on a local sports team. She didn't name the team, or the guy, but only one athlete in the area had a child that age who was in the hospital. Even though she didn't name anyone specifically, the patient was still identifiable, so she was fired. And for nurses (and doctors or PTs, or anyone with a license), these things are ethics violations that can get your license revoked and destroy your career.
Oh. I once dealt with .... I'm sure everyone actually involved fr would've known if they already knew. If not, wrygd, stalk the place? I don't confirm ish prob bc I'm not creepy like that 🙄. For all yt comments know I'm just making up sh. Most importantly is prob wtf is she even talking about. Bc I really wouldn't know either. Ps Earnhardt has a s. Pole on his house 🌠. At least according to mtv cribs.
You pulled off that “OHHHH!” at 18:58 too damn well 😂
18:47 Keeps me alive in the pit of unending misery that I now call home.
Story 20 caught me WAY off guard, why would you stick a screwdriver up there?!
I really don't get the whole sounding thing.
A lot of these are understandable but that gamestop one makes no sense at all. Unless op didn't describe his tweet to the full extent and it was much harsher. But even then it is still crazy
The best way I can describe my reaction to most of these stories is just Terry from Brooklyn 99 going "Whyyyyy?!!"
That rash restaurant one could be sued for wrongful termination and neglect.
Story 4: When I used to work retail, parents would usually leave their children to play in our store, and disappear. After too many incidents, I placed a sign saying if there are any unattended children in the store, police will be called immediately. One mom went up to me and asked if the sign was a joke or serious. I told her it was serious. She didn't believe me, left her kid in the store. I was on the phone to the police within seconds.
Police came, took child away. Mom came back FOUR HOURS later, panic set in. I simply handed her a card the police gave me to give to her.
The next week, she came back screaming at me, saying she lost custody of the child to her ex-husband because of me. I simply walked up to her, nose to nose, and calmly said, 'Good!', then walked away. She was speechless.
Story #17 - Yeah, I would have contacted Health & Safety over that. And spread the photos not just on Reddit, but to several news stations. Full scorched earth
The owner should have a specialist in finding out where the rash came from!
Holy shit the Starcraft one damn near made me choke on my whiskey. YOU MUST CONTRUCT ADDITIONAL PROFILES
I had a nda with my former🎉 employer, and got fired bc my spouse said online about how he didn’t think my former didn’t care about the employees safely during (the beginning) of Covid
The more I watch/listen to these I laugh. The Voice acting at 18:47. Chef's kiss
I did flooring maintenance all over town. We had been working at the science center all week and I posted something about being tired of seeing the science center. Years later, we get a contract for the FBI office. They need background screening and this post had been flagged for terroristic threatening. Took a little while to sort out, but I found out I was on the watchlist for a couple years for that.
Former security guard who worked under a police department at a college. Some guys from another shift made a Facebook post of smoking weed (then illegal) in a bong, on a public profile, with others from their shift. They all were fired when they showed up at their shift.
thats one reason , why i make my social media accounts private. Plus the company or job dont suppose to require your facebook account to check up on you thats just fcking creepy. Like do they check up on what the boss is doing i am sure they dont.
I have the perfect way to not get caught posting dumb stuff on Facebook. Simply by not being on that soul-sucking void.
Story 6 sounds like a swish in the basket for a wrongful dismissal
Half of these are from sociopaths and the other half are from people with strong cases for wrongful termination suits. Fascinating.
Story 26 accent is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh!
I was told that I would not be hired as I don't use social media. I found out that the company demands that all employees are to have mutable accounts on each social media platform as they are required to promote the company, to bad mouth anyone who might have something bad to say about the company, and to find new costumers all wail on ones personal time off the clock. A rumor I heard weeks after I was denied the job was that all employees are expected to spend 40+ hours a week on social media unpaid to promote the companies interests which is all very closely tracked by the company.
They can stalk my profile all they want. It's completely private for a reason
I got fired because I posted about one of our managers getting arrested for dealing something he shouldn't, it was public knowledge and you can literally search it up, I thought it was just funny. Nope, can't have that.
Ended up going to court and suing for wrongful termination, got a few 100k.
I now post about it on their media pages and they have me blocked on everything, me and my 12 other profiles lol
This always gets me giggling, I love the funny commentary
remember a story where someone got a nasa entry level job and a guy said language he turned out to be an important member of nasa and nasa read the tweets of the person and they got fired or smth like that
Me too. I think he was mad I wasn't the transgendered kind or something
ok, the voice. he did add Story 26 Honestly impressed me. I think he could be a good voice actor.
Imagine not getting a job because you don't have your personal life plastered all over social media. "Can't trust you", more like you can't snoop on me.
Seems like the States have a lot of employers that want to play NSA spy. Thankfully I don't live in the Land of Crazy Yanks.
I was at a pool party, I wore a thong one piece swimsuit. As I was getting out of the pool, unbeknownst to me someone had snapped a photo of me from behind, with the side of my face visible (my head was turned). The photo was uploaded, shared to a lot of people at my workplace (a coworker’s cousin was at the party and took the photo). I myself don’t use social media, except for TH-cam and one other place (not a major platform).
My bosses, many of the guys, and a few of the women at my workplace kept staring at me with s* eating grins after that. They didn’t say anything, I wasn’t fired, but it was the final push I needed to move on to greener pastures, day job wise, albeit it was much more soon than expected.
Thanks for posting this video. Looking for a job right now and the last thing I want happening is for my terminally online self getting in trouble.
I'm pretty sure some of these fall under wrongful termination. That bartender one is definitely not legal since a bar that serves underaged drinkers will get in serious trouble.
The one where his account was set to private but they figured out a way to read his activity feels illegal.
It's like bugging someone's house and firing them for making fun of the boss in their kitchen
So, the GameStop guy got fired because a negligent mom complained to some spineless manager about being called out on her negligence.
if I had not been friends with the managers since childhood I would have lost my job over airing dirty laundry about my father's side of the family after one of my brothers on my dad's side claimed I wasn't even a part of their family. That was the only time.
13:42 i think this is reference to the doctors and nurses of Reddit what is something that you have to explain to a patient that you thought was common sense? Episode
I was lectured in my public university that I would never get a job as a teacher in my state if I didn’t have a church on my social media bio. Middle of the Bible Belt. I asked my supervisor about the 1st Amendment and the “not compel” clause. She said it doesn’t count for teachers and that parents wouldn’t trust me if I wasn’t a certain brand of christian. Had a former classmate fired for being gay in that same school district in spite of being a very effective math teacher, but I guess being outside the norm for that hick town was too extreme for the school district.
So it was more of what WASN’T there than what was.
This dude is probably the best at reading out stuff
Story 4: WTF!!!! OP, you are a hero!! Don't listen to what those people say. You should have gotten a raise for stopping that man. Hope you found a better and more rewarding job!
I fired a tech for selling Texas state inspections on Facebook few years back.
you don't know what a fake id looks like
the first guy:
used to work at an apple store there was an area with tables and ipads with games so kids would play with them while their parents were going to what was called the genius bar at the time or shopping inside the store. well parents would drop their kids there and actually go shopping for hours elsewhere inside the mall expecting us to keep and eye on their kids as if we were daycare. the store leader had to ask his managers to call security everytime this happened (a lot) so they could take the child to their little room in the mall and call for their parents on the mic, if they didn't come pick their child up the police was called and parents given a speech by the police cause if we dared to say anything about the store not being a daycare the parents would lash out at us. that extent of not being willing to understand that you can't do that how it's dangerous for their child and disrespectful to employees is just mind blowing and infuriating. I need to ask reddit: parents who leave their kids in one store so they can go shopping somewhere else in peace for hours what makes you think this is safe and ok ? yall are on crack would be my guess but that's generous that'd mean they actually are impared by substances when they are probably just indecent human beings
THAT CHIPOTLE LETTER OMG
I had someone at my work get fired for vlogging in a security restricted area
I flinch every time I hear or see those metal sticks to put down the urethra
Sounds as some people call them.
I almost got fired for thanking work for donating to homeless people… they said it looked like stealing (wtf I cooked on my break, and it was to be thrown out next day *frozen cookies* so I baked them off and donated them)
I used to steal cookies from the elderly too from their little coffee station. Well I didn't really. They were like ppl! Stop taking their cookies. It's not for y'all! It's for the. Just take that stuff from the kitchen break room or snack area or wever. Well even get ur own .. I need to get up outta here. Honestly just wanted to see how others vent about the sorts. Not petty ironic weirdo power trippers. Although some things, ure not gonna catch me doing. I can tell u that now. None of my accounts r that active. As far as posting. Yt? Caught me. Might hafta scroll back to 20 yrs ago but still. 🤓 The fact that I've been seeing lawyer ads all in short, can u maybe not spend as much time on the net? Or u could wever we need money too ..
I love all of the narrator's voices lol
3:30 I don’t understand why they were fired for tweeting GameStop isn’t a child crèche, when they proved their point by stopping a groomer kidnapping a child
I once posted on FB about how shit my managers were, lol. They threatened to fire me because of that, so I walked out on them instead. It was a shitty retail job so the only people disadvantaged were the dickhead managers. :D
11:10 hey, atleast you got serverance pay
So I worked at pizza hut and posted a Tweet about our pizza. When I came back to work. While making a pizza my boss called me on the phone. He said come to his office. He fired for saying I can't post our things. And he said if I ever get hired at another pizza hut. He will change the paid limit 20 cash every 2 hours. When we usually get paid 35 cash a hour.
I've literally watched 2 of your videos and both of them have consisted of people sticking things in their urethra.
...how many people are sticking things up there and why?!
To quote Dr glaucomenflecken "As long as there have been penises there have been men willing to stick things up into them" If you check out his video first day of urology you'll cringe but also laugh.
Story 4: what's the bet they were fired over the handling of OP's situation or similar shit happened
Omg I used to feel bad for GameStop, but not anymore!!
Moral of the stories: don't register on Facebook
Do Americans not set their social media profiles to private? Also don't add people you work with. Kinda asking to be fired.
Welllppp, some of these switcheroos I didn't see coming. Time to go look at me from the "outside" again. So, I bet anyone could see my ish. Thank gah I keeps it professional. I don't really. It's just old ish. Boring ish. And stuff only snarky enough where if I wasn't me, I'd find me funny too. Pshhh I'd wannabe my friend too. I look interesting 🥴. But like on a complete wholesome note, I found a be the change u want to see t shirt for my mini me too tho. True story

Why in the name of god would some people be so insanely dumb as to post online about their jobs . It’s just asking for trouble

This video reminds me of why I'm glad to not live in America. Here in Australia, we have decent rights and don't deal with Americans on a regular basis.
Hear, hear. We actually believe in giving people a fair go.
Lot of these are a lawsuit impending. Also, fuck social media
Some of these posts are stunning at best. The idea that you can be fired for a social media post? In some ways I guess it’s not all that surprising considering if you’re not bright enough to not post illegal stuff you’re doing then I get it. This is why I don’t do ANYTHING on social media anymore. I don’t post or nothing. Even when I did I tried to keep posts vague and never EVER mention names. There are consequences to what you say. Of course you do have the first amendment but freedom of speech doesn’t exempt you from freedom of consequence so be careful.
So - didn’t get jobs over Red solo cups like I’m from a small town Safeway only had tiny paper cups and red solo cups so I have images with red cups because only option

6:10 You aren't much better if you assault him for talking shit.
I don't really get why you would have a social media account using your real name and/or details.
this is why you just dont tell people at work about your social media. Your bosses and coworkers dont need to know your facebook or twitter or anything, as far as they know, your just a caveman who doesnt even know what electricity is.
Yea, story one sounds like an unlawful termination. If they are in the United States at least.
I just heard that someone got mad because of tips the person who got fired should be arrested BecUse tipping isn’t worth it anymore and the person who left a 5 dollar tip s good becuase I know a lot of people who give no tip becuase it only goes to the company
I do not believe anyone for any reason should be slaughtered or eaten however, if we’re being brutally honest, the mentally challenged and disabled, or not going to survive the zombie Apocalypse and I was a man who is half disabled, physically I’m not being biased it’s just a fact it doesn’t mean. They deserve to be eaten like livestock, though.
For 26 it is inappropriate, that isn't being a stick I the mud that's just common sense. If there's kids involved, then that is inappropriate. Especially mentions of alcohol. It's easy to villainise these people, but you look just as bad in their eyes. You aren't any better than they are.
Post apocalyptic world...?
He's right, though. Society as whole wouldn't have the luxury of taking care of them.
