Have you ever been fired from your job? And if so, why? |

Yes, once. A big bank I worked for screwed me out of a large commission, and then stated that I didn't meet my quartery sales quota (No kidding! The commission was equal to a whole year's quota!). They "graciously" offered me the chance to resign but I told them nope. So I was terminated. I should have sued them; in fact, that was the reason I didn't resign. I figured resigning would take the teeth out of any lawsuit I filed. | |

Mixing cocktails incorrectly. Insubordination to inferiors. Disinterest in the job. To my credit I've been fired a couple of times. small circles, big wheels!
I've got a pretty firm grip on the obvious! | |

Yep. I was going through a major depression at the time, wasn't going through the steps to take better care of the situation, and couldn't have given any less of a #$!@* about that gig -- all making me an awful employee. [Edited 3/2/15 19:29pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

There's still a huge social stigma attached to getting fired. Lol. small circles, big wheels!

I was fired from my high school job at KFC, in 1992. This chick named Maria was scheduled to work Tuesday, I was scheduled to work Saturday. She asked if I would switch and I agreed; I worked her Tuesday shift, then the bitch no-showed my Saturday shift. The manager called me and told me to come in; I explained the situation and that the assistant manager signed off on the switch. The manager said, "Be here in 30 minutes or dont come back" and hung up on me. I explained it to my father, and he said, "Fuck em!" I was worried because prom was coming up and all that, but my father "sponsored" me for the rest of my senior year and I never went back. Make it so, Number One... | |

I've never been let go for cause, but I've been permanently laid off a couple of times. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Yes. It's still a trauma. 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |
