Today, I got fired from my job because I closed the store 84 seconds early. They found out because the state manager was sitting across the street with binoculars watching me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got fired from my new job. It was the start of my third week, and I got fired for not opening the store. The manager forgot to give me keys to open the store, and was two hours late. FML
Today, my duty manager demanded we close the bar early because she wanted to go home. I was subject to abuse from customers for closing early, then shouted at by the duty manager for not being done. My actual bar manager fired me for closing early. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML
Today, I got fired from my part-time job, because I insisted on keeping my phone in my pocket and never using it, instead of putting it in locker without a lock or security camera, that anyone can go through. The manager found out by searching my locker for the past 3 weeks. Ironic. FML
Today, I got fired for being late. Apparently you're supposed to be on time after your boss specifically tells you that the office will open an hour late. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, on my first day of work, I got fired after 45 minutes. FML
Today, I got fired on my second day on the job. I'd said that I was the former manager of a Sears that had permanently closed. Thinking they wouldn’t call and verify since it was closed, I put it on my resume. Turns out one of my coworkers used to work there for 10 years and said he never heard of me. FML
Today, while working at McDonald's, I was pulled into the manager's office and informed that I'd been caught stealing money from the safe. When I told them to show me the security footage, they refused and fired me on the spot. FML
Today, I got a phone call from my boss, who'd hired me after two months of waiting and begging for this position. A week into the job, the company is closing our store. FML

Some people are complaining about the 84 seconds.....well i'm more concerned about the manager with his binoculars.

Doesn't seem like a great place to work if they are that uptight and not understanding, you'd be a lot happier in a nicer workplace I presume so it would be better in the end , but why would be bother wait outside is what I'm wondering

The company I work for will fire any management for closing before the company stated time of closing. It is written in our contracts and we have to stick to it.

but 84 seconds could be a discrepancy between timing devices... at the store I work at most of the clocks are different by at least 30-40 seconds, and it can be up to a 3 or even 5 minute difference sometimes... I am not talking my own clock on my phone either, just specifically the store clocks...

That is just anal-retentive and creepy.

Good luck with that.

Should've said that you closed on time according to the clocks in the store, not every clock runs at exactly the same time.

What I want to know is why the manager was spying on them with binoculars from across the street....creepy much??

There was only one job I have ever been fired from, it was a pizza place. We had a bunch of leftover dough with sauce and cheese already on it. I cooked one and took it home, the rest went in the trash. I was fired for "stealing" because I didn't pay for it. The owner was watching the security cameras online. I actually felt bad for the store manger. She was forced to fire me and I only worked 2 Saturdays a month so she could have a weekend day off.

Woww seriously? I know places where the workers close an hour early just because they feel like it.. That's not fair

If the managers watching with binoculars it's obviously a lot more going on at that store then closing 84 seconds early
