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?

so many sackings, so little time
where do I begin? the latest one was working for a bunch of internet cunts in the West End. Seriously overworked, under-staffed etc.
I have what is known in the business as "a bad attitude" which comes from my reluctance to bend down and take it up the shitechute for the sake of a wagepacket.
So, after a month of putting in the long hours and plastering the fake smile on my face, I'd had enough, and the sickies began.
The first one was a Tuesday and Wednesday (the unwritten rules are that you can't do a Monday or Friday- too fucking obvious, and that you must do 2 days min. to prove you're genuinely ill). That was put down to the flu bug that had decimated the office- got away with that.
From there on it was a slippery slope- once you've broken the seal you can never go back.
As any dedicated office anarchist knows, the hardest part of tossing a sickie is thinking up a good excuse: "24 hour bug" you're obviously a sickie rookie.
"bad tummy" - what are you, twelve??
Sadly, after a couple of months I'd used up all my best eexcuses (too brilliant to share with the likes of you), and the final straw came after a midweek drink and coke binge that left me still awake and brain-cunted at 9am the next day.
It was this that led me to ring in and get carried away with the excuse: "can't come in today- I had a very bad stomache blockage early this morning and had to go to the hospital for an enema- very messy".
Justifiably told not to come back in.


Apologies for length and shitty stench
