Being tardy of course is a number one way to get fired, but did you know that you are cheating the pay system? If you're late for a few minutes that's fine, but coming in a hour later or so and expecting pay is hurtful to a company.
Oh, there are so many reasons! It could be for not meeting job expectations, not getting along with coworkers, or maybe even something more serious like breaking company rules. It’s a bit scary, right?
Yup, that's definitely one of the more common reasons. Sometimes people struggle with meeting deadlines or their work just isn’t up to par. It happens more often than you'd think!
Absolutely. Things like being rude, causing drama, or breaking trust can definitely get someone shown the door. It’s like, no one wants a bad apple spoiling the bunch, right?
For sure! It might seem small, but being late all the time can signal to your boss that you're not serious or reliable. Being punctual is actually a big deal at work!
Surprisingly, some people get fired for misusing company resources or showing poor judgment on social media. It’s crazy how what we do online can come back to bite us at work!

All these can get you on the bitter track of being fired or bad reviewed on your next evaluation. No one likes to pay for workers that don't do their job. When you slack or fool around, you can be a burden rather than a helpful aspect to the job. You could get hurt fooling around and that cost the company more money.
When you get fired from work there is always a reason and there is a way to avoid it. However, there is always a chance that a worker caused it or made it happen. You need to always watch yourself and make sure you don't give them reason to fire you. Have you been fired?
