I’ve been almost fired for being late at retail jobs, because they’re suuuuper fussy about being a couple minutes late. Luckily my current job doesn’t give a fuck because they just want the job to get done. I’m never late when I work from home, though!

I was fired before when I worked retail for being drunk at a work meeting after the store closed. I was part of a group of about five people who went to a restaurant. I was the only one who fought it. I had to have a conference call with a manager and a judge. The judge asked “did you have any reason to suspect Rai was drunk” and the manager said “Nope!” I got free money to do nothing for a year.

I absolutely was not drunk. Bless that manager for defending me.
