This is a question Sacked

I'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?

sabotage leading to being sacked
for all the reasons most people here have already detailed, at 19 years of age, I realised that the hand filling and the weighing underfilled 5 litre containers of flash liquid was neither a workable career move or a dignified way to make drugcash in between festivals.

cue me and one other sabotaging, un-supervised, about 120 pallets of 5 litre flash liquidsis which should have weighed X but actually weighed Y, V, S and mostly B.

it took the agency about three weeks for them to realise that the complaints being filtered back to them could be laid firmly and squarely at our feet.

we were escorted off site and, surprisingly, paid our last weeks wage. I've often wondered how much the recall and subsequent compo ran to.


edit: SABOTAGE ! ought to be the next QOTW, again. some more :-)
