And I mean like Cartoon pop teleport sound effect “Huh? What happened to my job?”
(American version) Hand out union flyers in the break room.
As an American, how does this work in other countries?
(UK) Last time I started in a unioned job the company (voluntarily?) told me about it during my induction, there were flyers in the break room, a poster in the break room with a named representative on my floor (a regular worker like me, it was voluntary) and official rep who I could call. Maybe once or twice a year the union did a presentation in a meeting room at the office and you could could take the hour (unpaid) to go and watch, after which you were encouraged to sign up. Semi regular emails through the year to my company email address about pay and bonus negotiation etc.
Worked in the UK, when I started my job I was given lots of hr forms, contract, info about benefits and leaflets for each of the two main unions that covered our workplace. If there was ever any issues, our line managers would remind us of our right to have a union rep present for meetings with management.
What does iskaied mean
I know someone who was fired after responding to a Slack message with an emoji that was interpreted as critical of the CEO of the company, lol. The emoji wasn’t offensive or anything, it was just showing support for the message which was if I remember correctly was jokingly criticizing the CEO. I think the employee took up a legal battle after that.
I think it depends on the job and the culture you are in, how replaceable you are, etc. as to how to be instantly fired. I know people who have made mistakes in their job that cost the company lots of money and they weren’t fired. I know people who watched TV all day in the open office environment in full view and who weren’t fired.

Yeah, but those things are not blows to the CEOs fragile ego like a good old misunderstanding can be.
All our took for me was being too highly paid, I think. Lay offs came and I went. Literally about to present the closing slides for the current phase of a massive project. Was so sure I was safe because of said critical project and was well regarded on my team. (I brought cookies even!) Maybe I was, maybe I wasn’t. I was, however, the highest paid in my department.

Though, surprisingly, watching porn on the plant computer isn’t.
Most any job I’ve ever had: drop a log on the boss’s desk
Two jobs ago: I worked at a teapot factory. If you walked the length of the plant floor and hit the emergency stop on each production line, that would be a good way to disappear quickly.
I work in a highly secured facility so… there’s a LOT I could do to get instantly fired. The fastest would probably be trying to get through security with a weapon.
Me: Hey guys, I plugged in this wifi AP to the network so we can work and walk about.
People: uhh, what brand is it?
Me: Huawei, it was super cheap from a dude in the parking lot. Here is the … Why am I being harries away be security?
Definitely talking about unions if you’re in the US. I single-handedly saved the company I worked for from a $10M+ data breach, got top performance reviews, and then got screamed at by my boss after I sent an article to a coworker about how UPS drivers had gotten massive raises by unionizing. I was fired a month later for “unprofessional conduct” with zero examples given and despite the protests of the rest of the team I worked with.
Support human life’s and care about others. Usually will get you fired in America really fast.
Disagree in any shape or form with the department head it seems by recent events
Start telling everyone I interact with what I really think about them.
At my last job, one of the presales guys was terminated instantly when he tried to expense a client meeting at a strip club.
