WCCB Charlotte's CW February 25, 2021 CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Job security is always a concern, and especially during the pandemic. We asked Nicole Anderson, CEO of Mend HR Solutions and Recruiting, to reveal the number one reason people get fired. She says, “The number one reason that employees lose their job is their attitude, they’re not team players, they are toxic in the work environment and they work on their own. And I always tell employees that your attitude determines your opportunity.” Anderson says other reasons people get fired include not being truthful on their application about education, inconsistencies about their job history on their resume and LinkedIn, hiding a mistake from their boss, and being late for work.
