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?

Ways to get sackedThis is a story of a mate of mine, Paul, who went to work in the USA. He was working as an IT techie in an insurance company in Philadelphia and had been there for 4 or 5 years when his manager called a team meeting.
The meeting was one of these "Yay, I love this job" kind of meetings around a large table in a boardroom. Paul's boss, after some team motivational speaking etc asked for staff to tell him how they felt about working for him. They took turns, round the table in sequence, to express their deeply felt joy at having a job.
However, when it got to Paul, the only "Limey" in the office, he uttered the never-to-be-forgotten phrase... "I FUCKING HATE this job" with as much sincere venom as he could muster.
The meeting went quiet. He was sacked later that week.
"Down-sizing".
Apparently...
