I was working at Microsoft
in Redmond, WA, USA. Which was actually really great, but the company that set the job up had lied about my visa and I was working illegaly without knowing it.
Once I found out, I called the UK company that set it all up (and were paying me on behalf of MS) - and the boss said 'Well, we've never been caught before'. Angry, I quite there and then, and they cancelled my flight back to England.
I had to hit people up for money for a flight back home - that sucked.
