Getting fired on your first day of work is a nightmare that nobody wants to go through. Even worse is getting fired because somebody lied about you and your work ethic to the boss. One ex-military guy shared his story on Reddit of getting fired from working at a warehouse because he was honest with his coworker about his disability. She lied to the higher-ups, saying that he was lazy and refused to do work. Let’s just say it looks like he dodged a bullet here.

This story demonstrates an issue I believe is pressing in the workplace right now. People are being honest about their situations, and others perceive that as being «lazy» or «antiwork.» Any kind of negativity or honesty about unseemly things is labeled as complaining, and I think that’s just plain wrong. If you’re curious to know the details of how this dude got fired for essentially nothing, read on.
