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?

equant
ok so i workewd for a company for 2 months only to find out i was being made redundant. went to the agency and in a panic took the first job going which was working for equant doing network monitoring. after being there i discovered the team was run like a nazi concentration camp and having come from an ad agency background fucking hated it. my co workers were wankers and the whole thing stunk of dog poo. so after getting ready for my 3rd day there i decided i had had enough and just stopped going in. i got a few phone calls from them which i ignored and over the next 2 weeks thought nothing of it and managed to find a sweet job. worked there for a further month at my new job when i got a letter through the post from equant stating that because i was not turning up to work this was deemed gross misconduct and that i had till the end of the month to contact them otherwise i would be fired. they also mentioned that i would be paid up until my firing date so i just ignored that too and got the paycheck from my new job along with another transfer to my back for just under 4 grand.

so that works out at £2000 a day for the time i was working there

thankyou equant.

i also had a job doing IT support for electronic arts but they fired me when they discovered i had brought my chiped xbox to work and was transferring pirated xbox games to another xbox in the IT support lab.

i was instantly dismissed but then it was discovered that the other xbox i was transferring to belonged to the son of the person who fired me.

egg on their face me thinks

doh!
