Today, I was fired without warning from my job because I was not consulting my boss about things like washing dishes and throwing away garbage. Basically, I was fired for being too good at my job. FML

"Yeah, I realized I could save a lot of time by combining both activities, so I threw the dishes into the garbage can, poured in detergent, and brought it out to the side of the road. I guess some people are just scared of efficiency."

So sad for you. By the way, have they replaced you? What's their number? I don't like cleaning dishes and I hoard garbage -- I'm perfect for your old job!

That is why you guys need unions over there.

At that point, they are just finding a stupid reason to fire you. Hope you find a better place to work soon!

contact the Natl. Labor Relations Board and take non-punitive action to get your job back or be compensated for what you would've made the rest of the year... it's a real thing

So get a new job where you are actually appreciated for your work ethic. And maybe talk to your boss because there has to be more to this...nobody likes taking out trash or doing dishes so you'd think your boss would be happy you took that initiative.

But what was your actual job? What were you hired to do? I'm wondering if you're leaving out pertinent information.
