What's the dumbest way you've seen someone get fired? (lemmy.autism.place)

One of my current co-workers. In his previous job, his company had him managing a warehouse by himself. Doing all the work, including the jobs that by the company handbook required two people and protective gear that they also didn't provide. When they were finished with that place they fired him for 'working unsafely'.

Not his responsibility, but still a dumb way to get rid of an excess employee.
