你知道最愚蠢的被解雇原因是什么？
What is the silliest reason you know for somebody being sacked from the place you work at
译文简介
不算愚蠢，但很疯狂，我曾有个同事，她骗她朋友说她是高级经理，然后给那个朋友一份不存在的工作。她甚至给了那个朋友一份虚假的家庭工作合同，和一台从IT橱柜里偷来的笔记本电脑，让那个朋友替她完成工作。她还让那个朋友开车送她去“开会”。

Not so much silly as batshit crazy, but I worked with someone who lied to her friend that she was a senior manager and then gave that friend a job that didn’t exist. She even gave her a fake home worker contract and a laptop she had nicked from the IT cupboard so she could send her own work to her to complete. She also had her driving her to “meetings”.
It all came out when the friend didn’t get paid and her dad stormed into the office asking why we hadn’t paid his daughter, who we had never heard of! The fantasist was obviously sacked and the police called with fraud charges pressed I believe.
Never heard of anything so crazy, did she think she’d get away with it?!
不算愚蠢，但很疯狂，我曾有个同事，她骗她朋友说她是高级经理，然后给那个朋友一份不存在的工作。她甚至给了那个朋友一份虚假的家庭工作合同，和一台从IT橱柜里偷来的笔记本电脑，让那个朋友替她完成工作。她还让那个朋友开车送她去“开会”。
那个朋友没有得到报酬，当她爸爸冲进办公室问我们为什么不给他女儿工资时，事情暴露了，我们根本没有听说过他女儿！这位吹牛大王显然被解雇了，我相信警方也提起了诈骗指控。
从没听说过这么疯狂的事，她以为自己能逃脱惩罚吗？!

These kinds of people don't think
这种人可不这么认为
One of the firms I’ve worked at in the past was a large manufacturing site. There were a team of 3 girls who were ‘tag teaming’ each other - one of them would come in each day, clock the other 2 in so they all worked about 2 days a week but were paid full time.
Another site I worked at was undergoing major remediation / expansion work. At the weekends when supervision was light we had contract firms coming in, signing 10-15 people ‘in’ when there was only one person in the van.
In Both cases they got caught out when a fire alarm went off and nobody could find the people supposed to be on site. Both sites were heavy industry with various chemicals on site that you don’t want to be anywhere near if they are burning. So cue the fire brigade having to don full protection and breathing gear to go find them.
The girls fessed up and were all fired. Turns out quite a few people knew what they were doing and had reported their suspicions, but nothing had been done. The whole log in & out process at that site was totally overhauled and caught a few more people Out.
As for the contractors - that was a police investigation and a settlement that ran to millions.
我曾在一家大型制造厂工作过。其中有一个由3个女孩组成的团队，她们互相帮忙打卡——一个人来上班，另两个打卡，所以她们每周工作2天，但领全职工资。
我曾工作的另一家公司那时候正在修复、扩建。在周末监管不严的时候，承包公司来一个人却签到10-15人。
这两个例子被发现时都被抓了，本应该有人的岗位都没人。这两个岗位都是重工业，有各种各样的化学品，在它们燃烧时，你根本就不想靠近它们。所以消防队员必须穿上全套防护服和呼吸装备去找他们。
女孩们坦白了，然后都被解雇了。其实很多人知道他们在做什么，还把他们的怀疑报告给上面，但什么动静也没有。这些公司的打卡程序被彻底检查，还抓到了更多的人。
至于承包商，警方调查后他们花了几百万进行和解。
Don't blame them, honestly. If the systems are flawed enough/workload little enough that you can work 2 days a week and get paid full time without your slacking being noticed, might aswell.
老实说，我不怪他们。如果系统有很多缺陷、或者工作量很小一周工作2天就足够，并获得全职工资而不被发现，这也是可以的。
I got fired for sending a pair of sexy pants (panties for Americans), to my then boyfriend using company postage. Someone in the mail room spotted it wasn’t the same size as all the other letters, opened it, read the cheeky message and told the boss. It was a crap job anyway. “Then boyfriend” and I have been happily married for twenty years, still makes us laugh. Never did get the knickers back though….
我用公司邮资给我当时的男朋友寄了一条性感内裤而被解雇。收发室的人发现这封信和其他信的大小不一样，然后打开它，读了这封语言放肆的信，然后告诉了老板。那是一份糟糕的工作。“当时的男朋友”和我结婚二十年了，想起这件事还是让我们发笑。但是我没能把内裤拿回来。
I used to work for a company that employed loads of temporary workers over the summer. Well one day one of the managers discovered that two of the workers had been using the internal messaging system to talk a lot of shit about one of the other temps. Like as in 100's of messages slagging this girl off. I didn't know the girl too well, but from what I remember she was lovely and they were just jealous because she was well liked and got on with most people.
Well anyway, the managers decided to let all 3 of the people go. The poor girl did absolutely nothing wrong, but they justified letting her go because 'she was involved'. Her involvement was literally just being slagged off without her even knowing. So that must be the silliest reason I know. She was fired because she was gossiped about by two dickheads
我曾经在一家公司工作，他们在夏天会雇佣大量临时工。有一天，一位经理发现两名员工一直在使用内部消息系统对一名临时工说三道四。差不多有上百条信息在诋毁那个女孩。我和那个女孩不熟，但我记得她很可爱，他们就是嫉妒，因为她很受欢迎，和大多数人都相处得很好。
无论如何，经理们决定让3个人一起离开。那个可怜的女孩绝对没有做错什么，但他们有理由让她离开，因为“她参与了”。就因为在不知情的情况下被诋毁也算她参与了。这是我知道的最愚蠢的原因。因为她被两个白痴说了闲话而被解雇了。
What an absolutely moronic decision, especially if she was as nice and well liked as you said.
多么愚蠢的决定，尤其是如果她像你说的那么好、那么受欢迎。
Yeah it was so stupid and I felt awful for her.
The managers never really had much to do with the temp workers and kind of treat them like shit, so it was just massively unfair.
是的，这太愚蠢了，我为她感到难过。
经理们从来不在乎临时工，对待他们就像对待垃圾一样，所以这非常不公平。

Reflects on the decision making skills of the firing manager, but more widely the attitude of the company towards the temps: quicker and simpler to replace all the cogs involved in a negative incident than separate the good from the bad.
反映了经理解雇人的决策技巧，但更反映了公司对临时工的态度：更换负面事件中涉及的所有因素，比区分好坏更快、更简单。
I would have gone public with that. Women in the workplace really do get it worse. It's like the old Greek story of Medusa, raped in a temple by a God, totally a victim couldn't fight back, but got punished by banishment to live life completely alone as a hideous monster! Never has a story rung so true that we don't learn from history.
I hope she moved on to something much better and the 2 idiots got nothing. We should all be much better to eachother.
是我的话就把这件事爆出来。职场女性的情况确实更差。就像古希腊故事中的美杜莎，被神在神庙里强奸，受害者完全无法反抗，却被放逐，作为可怕的怪物孤独的生活着！从来没有一个故事如此真实，我们都没从历史中吸取教训。
我希望她能换个更好的地方，而那两个白痴什么都得不到。我们应该对彼此更好一些。
That is mental. I choose not to believe this is true because of the injustice.
这太疯狂了。我认为这不是真的，因为不公平。
Oh it definitely happened. The managers were cunts and treat most of the temp workers like crap.
它确实发生了。经理们都是王八蛋，对待大多数临时工像垃圾一样
IT guy at my place was known for being a hero worker for attending server outages, even in the middle of the night. Got well compensated by call-out, overtime and time-in-lieu, but even so he was seen as the company 'go-to' guy.
Until his manager discovered a hidden time switch on the server power supply set to turn the power off and then on again a few minutes later.
Wasn't fired for that as they couldn't strictly prove that he fitted it. He was however fired for claiming overtime for attending site when he never got to site and in all probability he just waited for the fault call, contacted user to see if it was up and running again and then went back to sleep
我们公司有个IT员工，是著名的模范员工，他专门处理服务器故障，哪怕是在半夜。因为随叫随到、加班和倒休而得到了很好的补偿，即便如此，他还是被视为公司的“得力干将”。
直到他的经理发现服务器电源上有一个隐藏的定时开关，可以关闭电源，几分钟后再次打开。
他没有因此被解雇，因为无法确切证明是他做的。然而，他后来还是被解雇了，因为他要加班，但他从来没有到现场，很有可能他只是等待故障电话，联系用户查看服务器是否启动运行，然后回去睡觉。
That is evil genius level of anti work
这是偷懒的邪恶天才
Oh we all admired his ingenuity.
Right up until losing his job because he got lazy implementing it.
我们都佩服他的聪明才智。
直到他因为懒得执行而丢了工作。
I once got fired from a job when I suggested we shouldn’t rip off a customer
有一次，我建议我们不应该坑骗顾客而被解雇。
Using the national insurance number database (you can search by name/DOB) to look up the addresses of celebrities. They got frogmarched out very quickly.
使用国家保险号码数据库查找名人地址。他们很快就被赶走了。
I’ve heard of people getting fired from banks for looking up celebrity accounts. A lot of companies have checks in place so that if anyone unexpected looks up that data it’s flagged. Or, at the very least audit logged.
我听说有人因为查名人账户而被银行解雇。许多公司都有相应的核查，如果有人查看数据就会被标记。或者至少会记录下来。
Absolutely true, I worked in a big Scottish bank and know someone who was sacked for looking up a prominent footballers account.
A load of people also got sacked years before I started after they looked up the CEO’s account the day annual bonus was paid.
确实如此，我在苏格兰一家大银行工作，我认识一个人，他因为查了一个著名球员的账户而被解雇。
在我去这家银行之前几年，也有很多人被解雇，因为他们在发年终奖的那天查了CEO的账户。
He had 3 grandmothers pass away within 12 months.
在12个月内，他有三位祖母去世。
That's not impossible with divorces, remarriage etc.
在离婚、再婚等情况下，这并非不可能。
Step grandmothers and foster grandmothers too
还有继祖母和养祖母
I got sacked because the guy I was supposed to be working with found me intimidating due to my haircut (he was gay and I have a shaved head so thought I was some sort of homophobic neo-nazi) so he “couldn’t” work with me.
我被解雇，因为应该和我一起工作的家伙由于我的发型而觉得我很可怕(他是同性恋，而我是光头，所以认为我是某种反同性恋的新纳粹分子)，所以他“不能”和我一起工作。
I was sacked once for not wanting to by a raffle ticket at Christmas. It was for a good cause, but I didn’t want to enter on this occasion. Apparently that was rude, and didn’t really fit in with the culture they were trying to promote. I was in my probation period. And so I was let go.
Every prize was meat donated by a local butcher. I’m vegetarian.
我曾经因为不想要圣诞节抽奖券而被解雇。显然，这很粗鲁，也不符合他们试图推广的文化。我还在试用期，所以被解雇了。我这么做是有原因的，不想在这种场合参与进去。
所有奖品都是当地屠夫捐赠的肉。而我是素食主义者。
Where do I start? A guy got sacked for stopping what he was doing and checking the time. Another guy got sacked for moving his pushbike away from a fire escape when he realised someone had blocked that exit with his bike. Another guy got sacked for opening a box with his house key instead of a knife, which he didn’t have because they refused to provide him one.
These are three off the top of my head at my current employer. There are so many more. My employer is very petty.
从哪里开始说起呢？有人因为停止他手头上的事看时间而被解雇。另一个人因为意识到有自行车堵住了消防通道，他把自行车移开而被解雇。还有一个人因为用钥匙而不是刀子打开盒子而被解雇，他没有刀子，因为他们拒绝给他。
这是在我雇主那里我能想到的头三件事。还有很多。我的老板很吝啬。
That key one is incredible (i mean they all are but that one, wow)! How did the conversation go?
"did you just open that box with your key?"
"Yes, i haven't been issued a knife"
"you're fired!"
钥匙那个难以置信（当然都难以置信，但这个尤其如此）！谈话是如何进行的？
“你刚才是用钥匙打开那个盒子吗？”
“是的，我没有拿到刀”
“你被解雇了！”
That is literally how it went. But that guys doing alright for himself. I saw him the other day and he’s in the scrap business now. So instead of taking crap from a desk jockey, he’s taking crap people don’t want and turning it into cash.
事情真的就是这样发展的。但那家伙过得还行。前几天我见过他，他现在在做废品生意。所以与其从办公室工作里收获废话（垃圾），还不如收人们不想要的垃圾变成现金。

I was let go from a temp job that was evening/night shifts as my dog had died, called them saying I wouldn't make it in today, and was gone after a couple days as I had "taken too many days off".
因为我的狗死了，我的一份临时夜班工作没了。我打电话给他们说我今天不能去上班，几天后我就被开除了，因为我“请假太多”。
That’s surely grounds for unfair dismissal?
这确实是不公平的解雇理由吧？
You basically have no employee protections unless you've been somewhere for 2 years. They can let you go for whatever BS reason as long as its not discrimination.
除非你在某个地方工作了两年，否则基本没什么员工保护。他们可以以任何傻逼理由让你离开，只要不是歧视就行。
A guy I worked with didn’t believe Penistone was a real place and had a complete meltdown.
Flipped his desk over and stormed out shouting “Do you all think I’m stupid? There’s no such place as penis town!”
一个同事不相信机吧屯是个真实的地方，他完全崩溃了。
他掀翻桌子，怒气冲冲地出去，大喊：“你们都当我是傻子？没有机吧屯这样的地方！”
Stormed out and drove home to Shitterton
他怒气冲冲地出去，然后开车回到便便屯
Love this one, I live in sheffield and can confirm Penistown (Penistone) is in fact a real place
我喜欢这个，我住在谢菲尔德，我可以证实机吧屯是个真实的地方
I was sacked from being a removalist, and not paid for 2 weeks work because I couldn't move a ~700kg safe on my own from the cellar of this guys house to the loft.
我被一家搬家公司解雇，因为我自己一个人无法从地窖把一个大概700公斤重的保险箱搬到阁楼，两周的工作也没有拿到薪水。
You're pathetic. Can't move 700kg single handedly? No wonder you got potted.
你真可怜。一个人搬不动700公斤？难怪你被开除
Friend got caught living in the office for 3 months. All his clothes and toiletries were kept in the car. When everyone would leave at night, he would come back to the office and sleep/cook Netflix etc. He had the money to rent a flat but I think he enjoyed the thrill of "camping" as he called it...
我朋友在办公室住了三个月被抓到。他所有的衣服和洗漱用品都放在车里。当晚上大家都离开后，他回到办公室睡觉、做饭、逛Netflix等。他有钱租公寓，但我认为他喜欢他所谓的“露营”的快感。
Years ago I worked in an office and an 18 year old started and got sacked on his third day because all he had done was go on Bebo. He got sacked for using Bebo.
几年前，我在一间办公室工作，一个18岁的年轻人新来，第三天就被解雇了，因为他来就是为了上Bebo【英国社交网站】。他因为使用Bebo而被解雇。
We fired a temp because he spent an entire day browsing the internet. On a company computer. It was one day where there wasn't anyone in that part of the office so no-one spotted him doing it. I noticed because my weekly review of work in progress showed he had done fuck all.
He tried to deny it, and then got angry when I opened up the browser history.
我们解雇了一个临时工，因为他整天用公司的电脑浏览互联网。有一天，办公室里没人，所以没人发现他的事情。我注意到了，因为我的每周工作回顾显示了他的所作所为。
他试图否认，当我打开浏览器的历史记录时他还很生气。
I was sacked once for daring to ask if I could move from apprentice wages to full time wages. I worked a stop start machine 8 hours a day and learned literally nothing while working there, so it was an apprenticeship in name only.
我曾经因为大胆问我能不能从学徒工资转到全职工资而被解雇。我每天就在开、关机器上工作8个小时，但在那里我真的什么也学不到，所以这学徒制只是名义上的。
Sacked for busting the nose of the restaurant manager.
Us waiting staff had a habit of using our feet to open the doors in and out of the kitchen as our hands were usually full, I was returned some plates and shoved the door with my foot as per usual and heard a crunch quickly followed by a scream and saw the manager holding his nose.
He started screaming at me that I had done it deliberately and I was sacked without pay and to get off the premises. Head chef walked over, called him a stupid twat and it served him right for standing there and re-hired me. (Head chef was a part owner)
因为撞了餐厅经理的鼻子而被解雇了。
我们服务员习惯用脚打开进出厨房的门，因为我们的手上通常都是满的。我送一些盘子回去，像往常一样用脚推门，紧接着听到一声痛叫，看到经理捂着鼻子。
他开始对着我大喊，说我是故意的，没给我工资就把我解雇了。主厨走过来说他是个蠢货，站在那里是自找的，然后重新雇用了我(主厨是股东之一)。
My sister had a similar one from when she waited at the Hilton. They had a rack for dishes and you could eat leftovers. Some family had ordered food ahead and the food was prepared for their arrival. The shift manager left the food on the leftovers rack with instructions not to eat it. Some poor guy came in after, never having got the message, and thought he'd hit the jackpot and ate it.
The manager just about hit the roof. The guy got off light though as he was told to go home for the remainder of the shift. He was able to come back though.
我姐妹在希尔顿当服务员时也有过类似的事情。他们有一个放盘子的架子，你可以吃上面的剩菜。一些家庭提前订了菜，菜准备好了就等他们来。值班经理把菜放在剩菜架上，并指示不要吃。后来有个可怜的家伙进来，他没有收到消息，以为自己中了大奖然后就吃掉了。
经理气得冒火。不过他没受什么处罚，让下班后就回家，他还是能回来。
A colleague was sacked from his previous job after a formal warning for using "sexual language" about a female colleague.
He'd said she looked knackered.
一个男同事因对女同事使用“性语言”而被正式警告，随后被解雇。
他说她看起来很虚。
They got given a laptop to work from home during lockdown and when they came back into the office got asked to give it back. They'd sold it on Facebook marketplace when they heard they'd be coming back in.
在封锁期间，他们得到一台笔记本电脑回家工作，当他们回办公室上班时被要求归还电脑。然而在他们听说准备回去上班时，他们就在Facebook市场上把电脑卖掉了。
Im in the building trade and my old boss used to have a strict no phone policy, I was working outside taking down a chimney and was having a drag of my e-cig, this was when e-cigs first came out and my boss screamed at me to put my phone away. I was confused and tried to calmly explain that I was having a drag of my e-cig and not on my phone, he began screaming at me calling me a liar and was adamant i was on my phone, anyway i lost my shit and we ended up full on fighting in the customers back garden, I got sacked.
Everyone else on the job (decorators, electricians ect) all told the boss he was massively over reacting, he ended up sacking a plumber aswell because he stuck up for me.
Worst part is this is one of my dads best mates and I stilll see him regularly, hes still adamant I was on my phone even now 11 years later!
We actually get on really well now and I now own my own building company, I subcontract some of my work to him but I always give him the shit jobs that i dont want to do myself
我在建筑业，我的前老板曾经发布过严格的禁止打电话政策，我在外面工作，拆除烟囱，吸着我的电子烟，那时是电子烟刚出来的时候，我老板对我大喊，还把我手机拿走。我很困惑，试图平静地向他解释，我说我在吸电子烟而不是在打电话，他开始对我大喊，说我是个骗子，固执的说我是在打电话。无论如何，我失去了我的东西，最后我们在客户的后花园里打了一架，我被解雇了。
工作中的其他人（装修工、电工等）都跟老板说他反应过度了，最后他还解雇了一个水管工，因为他支持我。
最糟糕的地方是，他是我爸爸最好的朋友之一，我仍然经常见到他，他仍然坚持我是在打电话，即使是11年后的今天！
我们现在相处得很好，现在我也拥有了自己的建筑公司，我把我的一些工作分包给他，但我总是把我自己不想做的糟糕工作交给他。
I worked at a supermarket and the food going out of date that day would get reduced (10% at the start of the day, 50% around lunchtime and 75% off/down to 9p (whatever’s lower) early evening). Depending on the amount getting written off, you’d need a different member of staff to sign in to the label machine (anyone could do 10%, supervisor/assistant manager for 50% and manager or above for 75%). I mainly worked evenings so quite often was in charge of the 75% write off, which I loved doing because people would literally go wild for the reductions and start pushing people out the way to get some reduced ham. It made me feel quite powerful and was a great laugh.
Anyway, a new guy started and seemed quite taken by the evening reduction. He did it a few nights I wasn’t working and then when I was working he would try to take it off me. A few months in, it all became clear why he liked doing it so much - and it wasn’t because he liked the clamour of the customers for cheap yogurts, like it was for me.
He was going around picking full price things he fancied for himself, reducing them to 9p, hiding them at the back of the shelves, then buying them on his breaks. The guy was going around reducing whole chickens to 9p and nabbing them for his dinner! Needless to say he eventually got caught.
我在一家超市工作，食物过期那天会打折（早上时10%，午餐时间前后50%，傍晚时候75%，最后降到9便士）。根据注销金额的不同，需要另一名员工录入标签机（所有人都有权降10%，主管、助理经理50%，经理或以上75%）。我主要是在晚上工作，所以经常负责75%的折扣，我喜欢这种事，因为人们真的会为折扣而疯狂，会把别人推开买一些折扣火腿。这让我觉得自己很有力量，非常开心。
一个新人来了，似乎对晚上的折扣很感兴趣。他在我休息的几天晚上工作，然后当我工作时，他会试着从我那里接手。几个月后，他这么喜欢做这个的原因清楚了——并不是因为他像我一样喜欢顾客对廉价酸奶的叫嚷。
他四处挑选自己喜欢的全价商品，把价格降到9便士，藏在货架后面，然后在他休息时买下来。那家伙四处转悠，把整只鸡降到9便士，然后拿来当晚餐！不用说，他最后被抓住了。
2 dental nurses, around 3 weeks apart, go fired for dishonesty by HR.
Both at separate times called into work saying they had covid symptoms so had to stay at home/ return home and get officially tested , letting the manager know asap when you get a result.
Both girls delayed telling management they tested negative for 1-2 days and were caught when they had to show their confirmation email/ test from the testing center. We worked front line as an emergency hub during lockdown (UK) and business is struggling keeping everyone employed/ not over worked but these girls (one in particular) were particularly lazy and rarely helped unless they were forced to.
2名牙科护士，时间间隔约3周，因不诚实被人资解雇。
两人在不同的时间被叫去上班，她们说自己出现了新冠症状，所以不得不呆在家里、回家接受正式检测，当得到结果时会尽快通知经理。
两个女孩都延迟了1-2天告诉管理层他们的检测是阴性，当她们不得不出示检测结果时终于被发现了。
在封锁期间（英国），我们在前线工作作为应急中心，企业努力让每个人都有工作且不过度工作，但这些女孩太过懒惰，从不帮忙除非是被迫的。
I worked at a company that recovered fancy broken down cars. Part of the software kit was a tool that let you put it someone's phone number and it would tell you where that phone was to within 10 meters. Very handy for when people are broken down in the middle of nowhere.
A new hire used it to check if his girlfriend was really at home sick....on his first day. Right after the training session where they tell you the use of said tool is only for dire situations, and that every single use of it is recorded and audited, needing to be justified.
Pretty fucking silly move. He was fired at the end of the week when the manager was auditing.
我在一家修理汽车的公司工作。软件套装有一个功能，可以让你输入某人的电话号码，它会告诉你电话的位置。当人们在偏僻的地方抛锚的时候，这个功能非常方便。
一个新员工用它来检查他的女朋友是不是真的生病在家……在他工作的第一天。培训课程结束后，他们会说这个功能只能在紧急的情况下使用，并且每次使用都会被记录和审核，要证明使用的合理性。
他的举动相当愚蠢。周末经理核查时，他被解雇了。
