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?

That was a great story. In a similar vein, I used to work for an airline (Delta's regional commuter carrier) and we had this guy who was a miserable, skiving jackass...he was called Tyrone because that was, to the best of my knowledge, his name(seriously).

He was always claiming, since the entire ground crew was white and he was not, that there was a racist management team...and that he deserved promotion over the rest of us.

So, they decided to bring in the big wigs from HQ and discuss this because it had reached a level where 'something' had to be done.

They all flew in on a Saab340 (twin engine turbo prop, seats 34, nice little plane actually www.goldenair.fi/images/saab340_hires.jpg) and they had their "Tyrone should be promoted" meeting...they were all leaving on the next scheduled flight to HQ and Tyrone had the pleasure of loading the baggage on that flight...and he came across the tarmac at a relatively high rate of speed (wishing to look efficient no doubt) and when he u-turned to get the baggage cart close to the aircraft cargo doors to unload, the top of the baggage cart RIPPED the rear horizontal stabilizer clean off the aircraft.

The Big Wigs got off the plane (as the sudden JOLT to the aircraft and the wrenching of metal off the tail was considerable) and walked 'round to the tail to see what had happened and there he was in all his glory with a "what did I do?" look on his face.

He was escorted from the airport and never seen again. Though I think I saw relief on the Aryan managers faces as they boarded another plane for the return to corporate.
