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?

I was sacked by DS-MAX pyramid marketing cunts
I turned up for a job as an "advertising manager", which should have read "door-to-door chugger" for that was what my job was.

For the week I lasted it was absolute hell - they had me doorstepping after dark on estates where I wouldn't have gone during daytime if I was armed to the teeth, most of the people I met couldn't afford basic hygeine products and certainly didn't have bank accounts (which we needed for the direct debit forms). During this week I was told that I wouldn't receive any comission on a sale because the customer had used a blue pen instead of a black one on a form (give me the fucking form back, and I'll go over it in black, you cunts). I made another sale but felt incredibly guilty as the lady I sold it to had around 200 cats and was completely senile. On my final day I was told to "fuck off" by no less that three members of the public. I went straight to the pub, where the barman said "sounds like you've got a shit job, why not work for Banks's?", for that was the name of the brewery.

It took me two days to get a job with Banks's and I'd work for them again in a shot. Because no-one tells you to fuck off if you're selling them booze.
