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?

Four years ago...After training me up to be a star sales person and promising me a rewarding wage when I proved my ability my mew employers then shut in the back room of a windowless office. Luckily I was given the repetitive and dull task of putting earrings into little clear packets to keep me occupied.
Three years later my self-confidance had been whittled to a matchstick and I no longer even considered the possibility that I could perform any other task. Then, just two days before Christmas my boss came up to me and said I could pick anything in the shop I wanted - as a gift! I was startled and suprised, perhaps I was valued after all.
She saw the glee on my face and quickly clarified the situation. "Oh no,not for xmas, it's for your leaving present. You're leaving in the new year. Remember?" She then fabricated a discussion wherein I had said that I wanted to explore other avenues of employment; and she'd be happy to support mu decision. She said this all quite firmly. Needless to say that the conversation did not take place with me involved in it.
Woo! Sacked in the name of leaving AND two days before xmas! It turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me, but at the time....
