Hummm never been fired but quit a job I had worked at for almost a year
because we all had bought tickets to go to a concert and the Manager I
had her brother and sister in-law were coming down at the same time and
well she decided I could not get that night off humm we had had the
tickets for almost a month already she told me I had to work this was a
week before the concert which we all were going to. Then in her next
breath it was ohhh well since you can't have off I will buy your tickets
from you for my brother and sister in-law to go. I just told her yeah
right I'm going to the concert. Well day of the concert I called in told
her to enjoy her day I was going to the concert I was only about 5 seats
down from her that night had a blast too. Hummm 2 days later after the
owner which she lived with found out why I really quit made her call me
back and offer me my job back on my terms and ohhh by the way her
younger brother which I sat next too that night told him what she did he
told the owner. It was too funny I went back to work to with a big smile
on my face loved it.bigsmile then quit 6 months later for a better job

i worked as a cook at one resturant and my boss's were crazy nazi people
lol. didnt matter what you did they hated everyone, but i was a good
cook and they knew it but they used to threaten me all the time to get
fired. One day i was cutting tomatoes and the boss said i cut them to
thick and said she was going to fire me. That same day we were so busy
didnt even have time to think.. i was at work for 4 hours already and
went outside for a break between cooking. my boss came outside and told
me to quit smoking etc etc screaming at me infront of customers. I
calmley told her the day your alcholic ass lets go of the bottle of
vodak is the day i'll quit smoking you crazy Bi*ch i still didnt get
fired lol... but i quit a month latter

Fired, no. I had a store owner in an upscale mall charged with assault
after he got physical with somebody. He told administration either I
went or he closed his store. Guess who won.

Alright...
I was taking a crap when my boss kicked in the bathroom door and started
screaming " You s**t on your own time!!" Iasked him if he wanted to
wipe my arse and he fired me.
He hired me back the next day and I proceeded to get fired from that
same job at least twice a month for the following three years.

Those were the days. :wink:

I got laid off once. It was one of the best things to ever happen to me.
Now I know that no matter what happens, I'll not only survive, I'll
thrive.

I got fired from a bank. I was a teller at the time, back in the 70's.
I've always been an instigator. I thought banks were the last hold out
of MEN. I hated that women were always passed over and demeaned. We
were also all paid less for doing the same job as a man. So I called
the Chicago chapter of teamsters. They were happy to talk to me about
unionizing the non salaried bank employees of Illinois. Never did find
out how, but the whitle blew and I was still dancing, so I got fired.
It took 10 months, 68 job application, 28 interview and one sassy lady
head hunter to find out I had been black balled. YES, amazingly. A
couple well placed phone calls, with legal threats and I got the next
job I applied.
