- Unfortunately for Taco Bell (and one of its employees), this photo of an employee licking a stack of taco shells went viral. According to Taco Bell, the kid was just having a little fun with some training tacos that were never served to the public . . . but he was still fired.
- This bus driver was fired for helping hungry children (at least that's his story). He posted on Facebook that a student was denied lunch because he didn't have the forty cents to buy the lunch. The bus driver offered to pay for any such child's lunch. The school claims the story never happened and that video shows the student never went through the lunch line at all. The bus driver refused to take back his post and apologize, so he was terminated (assuming he's a public employee, there may be a shot at a First Amendment claim here).
- In a not-yet Fired for What!?, a professor is in hot water for tweeting that obese PhD applicants don't have the willpower to complete a dissertation. In a brilliant response, a new blog was formed . . . F*ck Yeah! Fat PhDs, featuring pictures of "fatlicious" academics.
Got a great termination story? Drop a comment or tweet #Fired4What.
