One minute you're making a video of how good you are at your work, and the next minute you're getting pulled into an out-of-the-blue conference call with your boss, who then invites HR into the meeting and it turns out you're getting fired with zero notice…
You think that's a funny little nihilistic point of view or meme? Nah, dog. That is real life. That is exactly what happened to a man who recently posted his getting-fired-story to TikTok. He had recently returned from vacation and was happy to get back to work. He was so excited on his "working block style" that he decided to record a time-lapse video of his progress to document his good work.
However, in the middle of that recording he gets a call from his boss. You can see this man go from happily working and doing his job, to shock, disbelief, and then aghast—all in one quick time-lapse video. He didn't mean to record a very stressful and cruel moment in his life, but he did and now he'd like to share it with the world. Not just because it's kind of funny in a dark humor kind of way, but mostly because it provides further reason to not give your employer a two-weeks notice when you're about to quit. Because here is the proof that they will not provide you with that same courtesy.
Luckily, this man seems to have another passion, which is cooking. He uses his TikTok account to post videos of his recipes. This video of him getting fired has since gone viral and he hopes it attracts people to his cooking videos so he can start a new career path in that route.
