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?

Just the onceGot sacked one from PC World. Boring story, really; in tech support, we had a till. When a sale goes through, you have an option to enter in a sales guy's number to give them their commission. Not one to pass up an opportunity, I used to pass pretty much everything through on the lads' numbers (not mine, cos I didn't earn commission). So I never actually got anything out of it.
Although everyone did it, turns out I did it too much. In one given week, not one sale went through whilst I was on the till, without someone getting commission. Oops. Gross misconduct, company theft, thank you, goodbye. Blacklisted from all the Disxons Store Group shops (PC World, currys, The Link, etc). Oh well. Better off now though!
Or I was, until I got forced into a new job last week. It was either that or take redundancy. Tough choice, I think not. Just, I don't do well with new people.
Andy, if you're reading this (and I know you do) I hear John lives in Jesmond, eh?
Lads! Taxi!
