People Share The Dumb Reasons Why They Got Fired Through The #AndThenIWasFired Hashtag

That is exactly what happened to the people in these tweets, who were let go over some of the dumbest reasons imaginable. Instead of keeping quiet, they shared their stories under the #AndThenIWasFired hashtag on Twitter.
