A Texas teen lost her job at a Dallas area pizzeria before she even started when she trashed the gig in a tweet that her prospective boss spotted.

“Ew I start this f*** a** job tomorrow,” Twitter user @cellla_ tweeted on Friday regarding her new job at Jet’s Pizza in Mansfield, along with a string of emojis depicting seven thumbs down.

But the worker was served up a cold slice of reality when another Jet’s employee showed the missive to franchise owner Robert Waple. He responded to the young girl with a tweet of his own.

“No you don't start that FA job today! I just fired you! Good luck with your no money, no job life!” @Robertwaple tweeted on Saturday, using his account for the first time since signing up for the social media service in 2009.




The public firing didn’t seem to bother Cella, who tweeted out her joy over being fired on Twitter.

“I got fired over Twitter,” she said.

Waple tweeted out a second message to Cella which has since been deleted according to reports.

“Working register, taking phone orders, making subs/salads. Eating free pizza. How hard would that have been?” he said in the tweet.

Some questioned the validity of Waples' account, but Cella confirmed the message was legitimate in yet another tweet.




Waple's pizza shop is a franchise of Jet's Pizza, which has nearly 400 locations in 18 states.

"The location in question is an independently owned and operated franchise store. Jet’s America, Inc., as the franchisor, cannot dictate the employment practices or decisions of independently owned and operated franchise businesses," a spokeswoman for Jet's Pizza's corporate office said in a statement provided to FoxNews.com.

"Nevertheless, Jet’s regrets to see the manner in which this situation has been handled by the parties involved."

The teen has become something of an instant celebrity after news of the incident went viral. Since Friday, she has amassed nearly 4,000 followers.

People around the world have been tweeting at her while Waple appears to have shut down his page.







“@Cellla_ I love that you're still on Twitter and his coward a** bounced. Hahaha,” wrote one user.

“who needs that f** a** job you're famous,” commented another.

No word if Cella has had any other job offers due to sudden attention.

I agree with the boss in this one. Why hire someone with such an obviously bad attitude about the job?

I would have fired her on her first day in person. Not over the social network. As awesome as it was, never do anything serious on a social network.

It never ends well.

Yes, but the dismissal was probably better handled in person, and with more tact, than just shooting off a "you're fired!" Tweet right back.

While he wasn't wrong to fire her, that he apparently was willing to spend all day feuding with teenagers over Twitter makes me agree with the ex-employees who chimed in (not in cited article, I read something else about this earlier) that she probably is better off working elsewhere.

Oh without a doubt I agree with that as well. Not saying she missed a good job, or the boss was a good guy. But I am saying that she is no saint either. Unfortunately, someone is going to hire her based on that and no doubt she'll poison another job instead.

Also, I'm pretty sure something like this happened in Britain previously, and of course, it was much more readable because it was British.


yeah, here it is.

Brilliant

Yep. Good. She deserved to be fired. Nice to know she will be a failure at life.

On one hand, I grow rather discontent with my job at times. On the other hand, you don't gak on where you eat on social media.

More frightening is the lack of remorse over it. Maybe I'm old school, but all my life I've typically been overall thrilled to be employed. Beats the hell out of the alternative.

That's the frightening thing... I don't think she does.

This.

Good rule of thumb ; if you think you're too good to work somewhere, then you probably shouldn't be working there. It's not going to work out for anyone.

That said, Adult should act as Adult, and not follow suit of entitled Teenager. I would have followed company procedure to discharge any other employee.


I will say this though... to all the "be a failure for liiiiiife".

She's a teenager. Most likely 16-18 given the job and most states laws. Harsh criticism on an albeit stupid kid. Show of hands ; who never did a single solitary stupid thing as a kid that they later were embarrassed about ? Who doesn't have a single thing in their teens or young adulthood that they don't look back on and get utter doucsche chills over ?

She'll learn. Might take her longer than some, but she'll learn. When i was 22 i was nothing like i was when i was 16-18. When i hit 28 i was very little like i was when i was 22. I'm 35 now, and even evolved from when i was 28. People change, and they grow up. Particularly from when they are a teenager.

Did she deserve to be fired? Yes.
...Fired online? No - he's made her a 'public martyr'

Walking out on a gak-level minimum wage job is absolutely no indication that you'll be a failure at life. Those jobs exist to walk out on, that's why they're minimum wage. They are the jobs of "if we could pay you less, we would, but it's illegal to do so".

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought they were the "Deserve to be paid $15 an hour" jobs.

So confusing.

I could understand her dislike for working at a pizza place if it was a crap pizza place like Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa Johns, etc. But Jets consistently has quite a lot of positive reviews (haven't has a chance to try it myself yet). I should think one would be happy if their first job actually had good food. And, to be specific, it is in the FORT WORTH AREA, not the Dallas area. Fox News can't even get it right as to which side of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.

Had something like this happen here ... I laughed my ass off when it happened.
One of my fellow Ironworkers was sent in to work at a steel factory to fix some stuff on a Sunday. Sundays are double time days for us. This brainiac welded a couple of dollar signs on an ingot, took a picture of it, and put it on facebook. Said steel manufacturer management found out about it 4 hours after he left and forced the contractor to bring him back in. He had to grind off the $$ signs and when he finished ... they kicked him out for life. How can anyone think that was a good idea?

Lack of work ethic is what shows that someone will be a failure at life. If you are 16-18 and don't have a solid work ethic and have massive entitlement, you will have a really rough life, especially in today's economy.

When you are literally at the bottom, with zero skills or experience, and you are thinking jobs are beneath you, that is a recipe for failure.

I had a solid work ethic at 14, which resulted in me getting valuable entry level experience by time I went to college which allowed me to get a skilled job in my chosen field during college which allowed me to graduate with zero debt and a 5-year head start on my peers. So while people were having quarter-life crises bitching about college loans and how minimum wage jobs are beneath them, I was owning my own house and working in my chosen field laying the groundwork to earn "be murdered and eaten by the poor" money.

So when someone who is literally the bottom of the workforce and deserves to be there walking out (or being fired from) a job which is at the bottom, yep. That is a failure.

Have to agree on this one ... if you will not take care of a minimum wage job, then you are not going to take care of a job that pays $32 an hour ... I know this to be true because I see it all the time.

Because who you are at 16 17 doesn't determine your whole life?

I'll just repaste what nk said:

It can and does have a massive impact. If you do not do good in school at 16-17, you could be denied a lot of access to society by not graduating high school and not being educated to a reasonable standard.

And many things like work ethic and core traits are pretty set at 16-17 and while they can be overcome, it is a struggle. In fact, kids who are not on grade level by 4th grade are usually doomed to educational failure and the statistics are they are forever behind their peers.

So yes, a lot of your attitude, experiences and opportunities you have when as a teen or before really do lock you in to your position in your adult life and it is EXTREMELY hard to change your situation later in life. Hence why education is so important, and that also includes work ethic and work experience, even when young.

Lots of teenagers destroy their lives before they even start living it and live a life of failure and regret all because they didn't take school or work seriously or take advantage of the opportunities afforded to them until it was too late.

And I disagree, people can and do change. My cousin was once a stoner who did nothing, now he is a manager for a local night club.
people change

I'm not sure this is the strong anecdotal evidence you think it is.

Ok, then show me these peer reviewed studies?
But I know how you guys here like to call my generation the worst because we apparently have no worth ethic and are going to destroy the world

That is what annoys me, that people are celebrating her fireing.
If she didnt want the job, why go through the whole process.

She'll do OK everyone - she has 4,000 followers on twitter now!

I myself live off the interest of 300,000 facebook likes.

Because unless you are exceptionally lucky, a job is what you do to not starve to death. What is important is that you can do the job, and that you can leave your bitching until after your shift is finished. If you want a Stepford wife as an employee, you're deluding yourself.

Internet fame i have it, oops its gone!

Really smart girl posting it on twitter

You missed my point.

Stoner to Night Club Manager isn't really that far a leap.....
