Over the past few weeks, we heard from our readers about their strange experiences from the HR trenches. For example, there was the employee who was too honest during a g-chat and the applicant who blew the interview with an inappropriate joke.

This week, we are sharing another reader’s story about a termination. Here’s the story:
We terminated an employee once who refused to believe that he was actually terminated. We sat in our HR office for 2 hours with our in-house general counsel assuring him that he was in fact terminated.
“He kept insisting that he was not fired and that he “refused to accept that [he] was fired.”
Thank you for sharing your story with us!
