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?

sackedI worked for a financial company whilst living in London, god knows why - that's agencies for you... The secretary was a Slovakian woman with an unhealthy obsession with the company, and whilst I was technically in a higher position than her, in a completely different capacity, as I was younger than her she took it upon herself to make my life a misery. Her finest moment was taking me out for a coffee to tell me my suits were too cheap.
Either way, I'd had a kidney infection and was really quite ill. I'd been signed off work for a month, but the phone calls kept coming to "pop in to do something" after a couple of days laid up. Finally, I went in, still feeling sick as fuck. The secretary, let's call her Ayla, cause that's her name, was talking down at me about something or other when I promptly projectile vomited all over her, and her no-doubt expensive suit.
I never bothered going back after that, a letter arrived telling me they couldn't keep me on (still during my sick note period) and I sent them a curt letter back saying they owed me pay both for the sick time and in lieu of notice, both of which I received. Ha.
