Boss Holds ‘Guess Who’ll Be Fired Next’ Contest

Everyone thinks they work for the 'boss from hell,' but in the case of the employees of William Ernst, they have a legitimate claim. According to WKYC.com, Ernst, the owner of a chain of QC Mart convenience stores, offered prizes to employees for correctly guessing the next person to get pink slipped.

Ernst sent out a memo to all employees in which they were told to "submit the name of the next cashier they thought would be fired along with the date and time of the entry and their own name." The store then dispatched 'secret shoppers' on the lookout for cashiers "talking on cell phones, not wearing the proper QC Mart uniform, parking by the pumps after 7pm" and other work-related offenses.

So what does the winner get should they guess the correct person and date of firing?

"The winning entry would net a $10 cash prize and once the unfortunate cashier was fired, the contest would start over."

A whole $10 to celebrate the unemployment of another human being. Sad. Oh it's up to $15 this time? We're in! That guy Barry over at the Culver City location will be gone by Thursday. Mark it down.
