Viral Thread: Boss Fires Confused Employee Via Email, Twenty Minutes After Closing With Them

An employee closed with their manager, who said nothing out of the ordinary to them but sent an email 20 minutes later telling them that they were being let go from their position. Further, the email tries to claim implied confidentiality and bans the employee from attending any of the owner's establishments as a customer. The cowardly method used to dismiss the employee has the internet up in arms. 

Screenshots of the email were posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/Leading_Highlight244, the employee who received the post. They posted the thread with the title "This is how my manager fired me, 20 minutes after I left my shift with him."

The original poster (OP) elaborated on their situation in the comments.

"For context, I've worked there for a whole month. I was never sent the Safe Serv course (and, I also had already submitted a different responsible serving certificate and they denied it)," they wrote.

"And my "results" are completely unknown to me because their metrics are ridiculous. They're a dive bar who serves paninis, and if you don't sell a certain number per day then I guess you're fired? Sorry nobody wants to spend $8 on a Turkey sandwich with two slices of processed Turkey on it lmao."

Reader's reactions in the comments generally passed commentary on the various ridiculous parts of the message, with others offering their sympathies or sharing stories of their own.

"Boy that "confidential do not distribute" text worked well," remarked 747ER in the top-voted comment, commenting on the fact that the "confidential" email was now the subject of a viral thread.

"'Confidential do not distribute' (and) 'please refrain from coming to any location in the future' sound like challenges," commented herbalit.

"They banned your ass from all establishments too?? Damn," sympathized LuckyxCapone.

 There are lots of stories floating around these days about people getting fired. Sometimes they take matters into their own hands, like this employee who took all of their things home and left a company nonfunctional.
