12 People Who Were Punished For Doing A Great Job

Fired and/or blacklisted for going above and beyond is the universe’s way of saying, “Calm down, ya brown noser. Just half-bake it like the rest of us, and stop making us all look so bad!” Because honestly, how dare these keeners care enough to gain 60 lbs for a role, save a drowning girl, or diagnose a woman with HIV! Who in the good goddamn do they think they are?! We get it doc, you noticed symptoms and ran some tests. Big whoop! Way to cause emotional distress, buddy. We’d sue you  too!

It really makes you wonder… If these people knew the repercussions to come, would they go back and do a worse job (or even look the other way)? We’d like to hope not, but when their career or even their freedom was on the line, they might have wished for time travel at some point. We don’t have those answers. All we can do is shine some light on these 12 people who were punished for doing a great job.
