Man loses his job after he refuses to let his manager eat his food. Somto detailed the unfortunate circumstances surrounding his job loss, citing his refusal to allow his boss to sample his food as the catalyst. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Somto, now employed elsewhere, recounted a peculiar incident at his previous workplace. He described a day when the boss, known for indulging in employees’ meals, went on a tasting spree. When it was Somto’s turn, he opted to conceal his dish to thwart his boss’s sampling intentions. However, his boss, catching on to the evasion, responded with a stern gaze. A mere week later, Somto found himself terminated, the reason attributed to his perceived lack of teamwork.
Reflecting on this experience, he emphasizes the peculiar and unexpected nature of his dismissal from the previous job.
His statement:
“I got fired from a workplace because I didn’t let the manager eat from my lunch. He always went around eating from everyone’s lunch, so one day, I quickly packed up all of my food before he got to me. He gave me a long, angry stare. I was fired the following week.”
In a similar post, the young man, when asked the reason he was fired for, wrote “I wasn’t a team player.”
