Bakery Notes:
Isn't it glorious to have good friends in the right places? One can go very far in life not with money but with honest and good friends!

SO, answer me this, What do you think it takes to get someone fired?
If you really want to be an utter tool, basically don't do anything related to your job, just sit around in your cubicle all day, doing apparently nothing. You can't get fired if you don't actually do any real work. That strategy works like a charm for certain people at my place of employment. Usually these people have patsy lab techs they "train" on equipment they should have no business working with, so that when the entire operation blows up, they have convenient scapegoats ready to go (be fired). Its loads of fun working with these people, as you may imagine. Usually these patsies are contractors, too, as usually is the case. Just so happens to be that we're hiring our next batch of patsi-... um, new contractor lab techs, as the previous batch is being fired for mishandling broken dysfunctional equipment... Convenient, that. Sometimes they don't even hire the new people, they just sit on the current funding, and ask the people already there to do 3 times their current workload without extra support or pay. This seems to be the standard policy.
As you may guess, turnover at these places is higher than usual. It takes a certain type of brown-nosing sycophant to really excel in such situations. Can't wait to get out of such a place; your soul becomes infected with the poisonous atmosphere. Usually this leads to spewing this hatred online, which is generally unappreciated by the audience. But there's no one else to talk to about this stuff; if you talk at work you're just magnifying the existing problems. The immediate people you live with don't want to hear this trash either, they put up with enough already. So you post it in an obscure webcomic comment box, in the vain hope that someone will read it, your endless screaming in pain from the darkness.
oh, uh..what gets a person fired? I'd say...letting that list grow longer.
Though I'D listen to reason (if there is one) and let judgement pass from there.
other then that: Lazy workers (Unless they are resting from heavy lifting/lots of work)
People who ignore orders (Unless they found something that needs attention from the boss)
Breaking the work-places tools (UNLESS THEY BROUGHT A REPLACEMENT/THEIR OWN)
...I think I might be too soft with these, since I love listening to reasons, if there are any to give that is. If not, Get away from the job-site and let someone who can, do.
Going to work beeing ill is a reason to get fired so DON'T freaking go to work when you are ill ,are you crazy!?
