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?

my red swingline stapleri worked as a technician at my college's student center - setting up sound systems, lighting, and powerpoint presentations for corporate clients that rent out space that actual students might otherwise be using.
most crap job ever.
none of the students had gotten a raise in years, and we started murmuring loudly about quitting en masse. to appease us (???), one of the bosses gave a handful of people raises. i was not included in this handful, and when i asked, boss-man told me that i did not recieve a raise "because of factors." hmm?
but how was i sacked, you ask? remember Milton, from Office Space, who is not fired, just moved to the basement and not given a piece of cake at the office party? yeah.
they stopped sending me emails about scheduling meetings. they took me off the contact sheet. the final blow was when i came in with a student group inquiring about using the center's theater to put on a play. i offered to serve as the tech on duty for free (paying them can get expensive) and i was told that i couldn't, as they "really needed to use someone who was on payroll..."
watermelons, the both of them.
