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?

Now......I didn't exactly lie of sorts.....
On application to the job in mind, the question that led to my ultimate 'sacking' was answered truthfully. It's just a shame that in the period between then and starting the job, the answer had changed somewhat. It's all quite funny looking back really. I was taken into a side room, shown the evidence and passed all my belongings. Informing me that I will be paid for the entire month anyway. Thinking about it, it was a payoff really as I very much doubt what they did was lawful.

That's the only time that I have been sacked. I've walked out a zillion times and reached a mutual arrangement to leave.....but that was the only sacking.

I suppose I am a little bitter about it but then it also taught me valuable lessons.

And no, I'm not telling what got me into that situation in the first place.
