Today, despite leaving early to go to work, I still ended up late because some dude decided to have an argument with the bus driver, delaying us by 20 minutes. As a result, I was fired without a write-up. This was my first ever time being late. FML

Honestly, do you want to work for a company that anyway? Getting fired for a first offense is ridiculous.
