I&#x27;m certain the &quot;You&#x27;re fired!&quot; is an exaggeration. You would rarely get fired over something so minor here.<p>Firing is difficult here and is only done for the most severe offenses. You could be &quot;laid off,&quot; but you&#x27;ll never know exactly why, (as you could then sue for improper termination), but even then, that involves a lot of paperwork and he won&#x27;t sign up for that instantly after hearing a noise.<p>I have had my supervisor give me talks about proper workplace conduct for these kinds of things though.
