I don't mean losing your job due to a company closing or downsizing, I'm referring to a "clean out your desk, you're no longer with us" situation. I used to know someone who once got fired from Burger King!! Don't know how the heck anybody can get canned from a fast food place, but I guess it happens.

never been fired. walked out of 2 jobs.

Good for you! Would rather walk off a job then get fired ANY DAY.

yeah, i got fired from the first job i got when i first moved to chicago. it was the first time i ever got fired in my life, and it was a really shady, depressing, freaky situation. they wanted me to sign a confidentiality agreement saying that they didn't fire me and that i left on my own accord and all this crazy stuff, and i told them where they could file their agreement.

Damn, that sux that you were fired. But kudos to you for telling them to take their confidentiality agreement and to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

oh man, i did that. i got a job as a waiter that was just NASTY and EVIL and even though i made almost two hundred bucks on my first day, i was worked and harrassed so much that i just went home and cried and resolved never to go back or to even call to let them know i wasn't coming back. it was traumatic!

mine was the seafood counter at a grocery store... that was too much work for 6 bucks an hour those people were crazy

heyduckie said:

That's quite alright. If you don't like the job, why should you stay there and be miserable?

Anxiety said:

Poor Anx.

As much as I love seafood, I don't think I would enjoy working at a fish counter. I wouldn't enjoy coming home from work at night smelling fishy, and having all the neighborhood cats following me.
