People share untrue stories of being fired on the first day

8.

“The guy was hired based on a background/credit check. On the third day, I got a call from HR saying he wasn’t qualified. The store manager who hired him made me fire him. I took him into the office and said, ‘The checks came back negative, you can’t work here.’ “.

“He started talking about how his record was sealed and that the forgery and theft were supposed to be expunged. Then I said, ‘No, man, I’ve got bad credit.’ Three months later, the company dropped the credit check requirement, so the store manager hired him again, and three weeks later, they caught him stealing computers.
