Austin’s Answer

Theft, damaging property, fraud, illegal activities, unprofessional behavior, low performance etc. Being fired is pretty hard so long as you are doing your job and are performing well. You should not be worried about being fired as long as you are a good worker and don't do anything stupid.


I hope this helps!!


Best,

Austin

Your company will have a set of employee policies or guidelines that you should familiarize yourself with. Generally, the types of behavior that get employees fired would be any type of fraud (usually involving monetary and/or informational reporting), theft of monies and/or company property (like equipment), bad behavior (like racial insensitivities or inappropriate personal advances), excessive absenteeism, failure to thrive in your position.

Put your best foot forward - try your hardest - and follow the guidelines as set forth by your employer! If you're unsure about something, talk to your manager - if she/he knows you have great intentions, they will be happy to work with you to keep you on course.

Amra’s Answer

Any illegal activity or fraud, but people get fired because they seem to not be performing well, or simpy do not portray a professional image... some people may get fired because they may have problem with alcohol or drugs, violent behavior, something stupid and offensive they said in social media that their employer simply does not want to associate with....

Jack’s Answer

First, a company invests time and money to hire and train someone, so nobody wants to fire an employee. Having said that, companies have rules that are clearly laid out. It could be a code of conduct or a list of employee rights and responsibilities. Violating one of those rules is a sure way to get fired. My company has a cyber-policy that says you can't log into its network from a foreign country because of the security risk, unless you get permission in writing. One of my friends went outside the country and logged in without permission to get some work done, and was fired for breaking the rules and introducing a cyber risk. Sometimes an infraction is less serious and the employee gets a warning. Continuing the behavior after the warning will get them fired (there's no 3-strikes and you're out rule here, the employee might only get a second chance).

On a more personal level, if in doubt about whether something is ok, talk to someone. Your manager is one obvious choice. There may be other alternatives too. My company has an ethics department with an email box set up for questions. Over my career I have used it several times, and I've always found it helpful. Again, companies want employees to follow the rules and they should have resources available to help out.
