45 Outrageous Things People Did That Got Them Instantly Let Go From Their Jobs (New Pics)

If you’ve worked at the same company for years, you might start to become a little too comfortable in the office. It’s great to show your personality around colleagues, but remember, it isn’t usually appropriate to be your fully uncensored self while on the clock. Unless, of course, you want to show your true colors, so your boss knows that it’s time to say, “sayonara!”

And if you want to learn from the mistakes of others, well, just keep scrolling, pandas. We took a trip to the Bye Bye Job subreddit, a community dedicated to calling out employees who made egregious mistakes, and compiled a list of their most appalling posts below. From displaying problematic behavior to making offensive remarks, it’s shocking to see just how awful some so-called professionals can be. So enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the people that you would never ever hire!

The Bye Bye Job subreddit has only been around since 2020, but it has already amassed an impressive 650K members. So clearly, there are plenty of people out there making terrible mistakes that cost them their jobs! From behaving inappropriately with colleagues to posting hate speech online, some people just don’t know how to behave, regardless of whether they’re in the office or not.

But it’s great to have a space where we can hold people accountable for their actions, and if this online community contributes to making workplaces safer and healthier, that’s a huge win! We sincerely hope that no one on this list reminds you of your own boss or coworkers, but if something seems familiar, it might be time to have a chat with HR.

While we’d all like to believe that we know how to keep things professional at work, it’s clear that many people don’t. And being around inappropriate colleagues can have a huge impact on your job satisfaction. According to a 2025 survey by iHire, a whopping 75% of employees in the United States say they’ve experienced a toxic work environment.

And over half of employees have actually quit jobs due to receiving poor treatment at work. When it comes to what kinds of toxic behavior most workers have witnessed, many reported that their company’s leadership showed a lack of accountability, displayed favoritism or bias towards certain employees and displayed unethical behaviors or practices.

#9 Florida Judge Who Blocked Teen’s Ab*rtion Loses Re-Election

Christian Nationalist judge in Florida, who blocked a 17-year-old’s ab*rtion because he said she was too dumb, loses reelection. Jared Smith sought to save his job by rallying religious conservatives. “I’m a believer, I’m a judge and I’m a Christian,” he declared while campaigning in a church.

It’s also clear that you can work in the same physical space as someone yet have an entirely different experience than them. iHire’s survey found that nearly 83% of employers would rate their work environment positively, while only 45% of employees would say the same. And over two thirds of workers who have escaped a toxic work environment reported that there was poor communication across the board in the company.

Unfortunately, just because someone is a problematic boss doesn’t mean that their actions will actually have consequences. When it comes to why that is, High 5 Test notes that many just refuse to admit fault when they’ve done something wrong. And if no one reports them, the higher ups may not even realize that there’s a problem. At the same time, their problematic behaviors can often go unnoticed for a long time. If unhappy employees simply quit without saying anything, it can be challenging to find the root of the issue.

Another tactic managers use to get away with inappropriate behavior is to be extremely productive or always present. If they’re meeting all of their deadlines, showing up early each day and very involved in their team, it might seem like they’re a wonderful boss on paper. However, if you actually speak to their workers, you might hear a different story.

#17 Florida Cop Responds To 911 Call From Man Experiencing Breathing Difficulties, When She Got There He Was Unresponsive And Later Died. So She Stole His Credit Card Info And Went On A Buying Spree. She Has Been Fired

#18 Callous Paramedic Filmed Stealing From Woman, 94, Just Moments After She Died

Titley initially denied the allegation, telling police he intended to “secure” the cash and take it out to family members. However, he later admitted theft and was given an 18-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months.
He was also ordered to carry out 120 hours unpaid work and pay £530 costs and a £187 victim surcharge.

A bad manager can also fly under the radar if the higher ups simply don’t want to go through the hassle of removing them and finding someone new to take their place. What if they can’t find anyone better? And how much money will the onboarding process take? They might be under the impression that it’s best to just keep them around if they’re not burning the place down, especially if the entire company is dysfunctional.

Now, if you’re working under a boss that you believe deserves to be fired, taking them down may not be an easy task. But if you’re determined, Manage Better has some tips on how to get rid of them. First, it’s important to recognize and document their bad behavior. And at the same time, consider the risks of reporting your boss. Make sure that you do this carefully and that it will still be worth it in case anything blows back on you.

When trying to oust a toxic boss, check if there are any external reporting options that will be safer than going straight to HR or the higher ups. And make sure you prepare and present your case well. Then, when it’s time to execute your plan, Manage Better recommends sticking to established reporting procedures. If you’re successful, all of your efforts will have been worth it.
