A man in Manhattan is fired about 2.5 hours after starting a new job, according to reports. The company tells him the termination is due to “hygiene issues,” and the man disputes the claim.
Both outlets describe that he had been unemployed for roughly 9–10 months before getting the position. After being let go shortly into his first day, he says he did not “stink,” indicating disagreement with the reason provided by the employer. The reports focus on the rapid turnaround from job start to dismissal and on the specific justification—hygiene—offered by the company.
While the accounts agree on the timing and the stated reason, they differ mainly in phrasing and the exact duration of his unemployment (reported as about 9 or 10 months). Neither source provides broader details about the employer, the role, or any formal process around the termination beyond the hygiene-related explanation.
