Getting Fired Like Willie Randolph

To say Willie Randolph is having a tough morning would be the understatement of the year. After weeks of speculation that the team’s manager would be shit-canned by Mets ownership, the inevitable happened this morning at 3:15 a.m. Even before Willie could rub the sand out of his eyes, the Metropolitans released a statement that Randolph was no longer in charge of the ball club and bench coach Jerry Manuel will be the interim skipper.

Mets big-wigs even forced Randolph to make the long trip out to Anaheim, meaning he’s not only unemployed and sleep-deprived, but jet-lagged too. The news reminded us of some of the worst firings we’ve ever seen. So Willie, if you’re reading this, watch the clips after the jump and remember: it could be worse.

Ari Gold Fires Mailroom Employee:

In this classic scene, Entourage’s super-agent Ari Gold tears a mailroom employee a new a-hole after he mistakenly thinks that he is an agent who neglected to inform him that James Cameron is directing Aquaman.

Kramer Gets Fired From Brandt-Leland:

Only Seinfeld’s quirky next-door neighbor Kramer is capable of getting fired from a job that he technically didn’t even have. Watch this hilarious clip of Cosmo getting the boot from head-huncho Mr. Leland for having a lackluster skill-set.

Chris Jericho Gets Fired By Eric Bischoff:

Back in June of 2005, power-trippin’ wrestling exec Eric Bischoff fired Chris Jericho in front of thousands of fans after he lost the aptly-titled “You’re Fired” match with Jon Cena on Monday Night Raw. Despite the down-sizing, Jericho has since been re-instated and remains a big draw within the WWE. Surprise.

Ryan Wolfe From CSI Gets Fired By Sergeant Rick Stelter:

This investigator is asked to hand over his gun and badge after he lying about a debt he owed stemming from his chronic gambling problems. The Internal Affairs agent doesn’t even let Ry-Ry get out of the elevator before telling him to leave the building. Cold as ice.

Donald Trump Faux-Fires George Bush:

In a certified YouTube classic, the Donald and his golden comb-over fire George Bush for being inept when it comes to being the President of the United States. Sure the clip is fake, but if Bush ever gets impeached, we’re definitely hiring Trump to break the news.
