There are a great many reasons one might find themselves no longer working for a particular organization. Some of those reasons, like threatening a customer, making a pass at the boss's wife, or simply not doing your job are pretty inarguable grounds for termination. It's important to understand when you might share some of the responsibility for your own misfortune, and acknowledging that "yeah, maybe taking my daily nap on my desk wasn't exactly terrific for optics" is part of healthy personal growth.
But people also get fired for terrifically stupid reasons, like when an incompetent manager is just trying to scare everyone else, or if the company is just trying to save money by liquidating their most trusted, committed and productive employees. So in a world where people can be fired for incompetence that is not their own, it gives employment as a whole a terrific level of uncertainty that can make you want to shake your head and go get another cup of coffee.
On the other end of the spectrum, here are some satisfying times people quit an unreasonable boss.
