Article: I was fired from my internship for writing a proposal for a more flexible dress code

247. I should confess too

so long ago I forgot it ever happened. I was fired for not WEARING my shoes, my feet sweated a lot and I was walking down the hall in my socks on an errand, something I did all the time but nobody seemed to notice nor was I aware there was anything wrong with it. My boss from a distance saw me and hollered at me to put my shoes on and I thought that was rude ( this was in truth my first 'boss from hell' anyway) so I decided to keep walking and put my shoes on when I come back.

Surprise, surprise, I was fired that day for Insubordination. I was very surprised, and I HAD learned my lesson, not too sad to lose my boss from hell, tho!

I had been on the job almost six months and was told my probationary period was still in effect so I didn't need to be given a warning or a second chance.

People should realize that young people don't know where their boundaries are yet, and they certainly don't learn about them in school, what they do and don't learn in school is another topic of conversation, tho!

My reason for not immediately obeying my boss were twofold, first, I thought she was just being obnoxious and trying to embarrass me, second, I was very offended at being hollered at from far away so everyone could hear it, besides from being totally startled, my reaction was to hold off on reacting, so I kept on walking.

Wait, wha. . . ?
