There are many reasons why employees are fired from their jobs.
Poor performance. Employees who do not meet their employer's expectations for quality or quantity of work can be fired for poor performance. In many cases, employers will give an employee a warning before terminating his or her employment based on poor performance.
Poor attitude. Employers also may fire employees for having a negative attitude or behaving inappropriately at work. For example, if an employee has a bad temper and gets into frequent arguments with coworkers or customers, he or she may be fired for having a bad attitude.
Insubordination. An employee can be fired if he or she is disobedient or insubordinate to the employer's authority over him or her at work. For example, if an employee refuses to follow instructions that his or her boss gave him or her, such as refusing to take out the garbage when he was asked to do so by his supervisor, then he could be terminated for insubordination.
Habitual tardiness and absenteeism. If an employee frequently arrives late to work without permission from his boss and/or misses work without good reason on multiple occasions, then he could be fired for habitual tardiness and absenteeism.
