SackedI've never been sacked (yet)... One company I worked for made everyone redundant on Valentine's Day. The boss handed out little envelopes. We all thought he'd bought us cards and were really touched.
...but I've never been sacked. What have you done that led to your dismissal? Are you still bitter, or was it a fair cop?

sandwich-board manI got a job advertising a local chippy by walking around with a sandwich board proclaiming not that the end was nigh, but that the Kingfisher sold the best fish and chips in Torquay (they didn't).
The job also entailed, as they were needed - a bit of washing up in a knee-high sink, and clearing tables accasionally. One day I was called in to clear some tables, and knocked someones glass flying, which then smashed on the floor. The boss - a hitler-lady with matching 'tache, gave me such a bollocking I knew it would only be a matter of time before I was sacked. And at the time the Job Centre were doing a thing that if you were sacked you had a reduction in benefits for six months or something.
So I called up the next day and said I couldn't come back because my back was getting hurt by the sandwich board and the knbee high sink.
