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?

Way Back In 2001
I was working for a well known motor factor in the south east, let's call them crapco.
after working my way up from dogsbody to assistant manager so i did all the work and sold twice as much as all the other staff put together as i would get the right parts.
They had just employed a new manager in august as the previous one had been headhunted by another firm. the old manager was fine had a good laugh helped to build the office beer fund up and all that. But the new guy let's call him the arrogant little cnut because thats his name, insisted that everone was there all day 8.30 to 5.30 with a break which you would never get. where as before the 3 sales staff would be stagered 1 in at 8.30 , 9 , 9.30 go home at 4.30, 5, 5.30 . that was the first thing that pissed me off, second he had a habid of trying to hide what he was doing on the sales system all the time. but i could find out anywas because the last manager was technical support for the company and i learned how to log on as an administrator before he went. plus he told me the managers login+pass.
Anyway back to what happened it got to the week before chrismas and i noticed that the manager had booked the entire week between xmas and new year and the following week off for himself as the shop was only shut for 2 days and only 3 sales staff i meant that no one else could have any time off. So i said to him i couldnt do the saturday as i had to go and see my nan. he said tough i'v booked it. Cue me phoning personnel to check i'm still on a weekly contract, i am so next day in comes resignation letter. and completely fucked his christmas good.
ps i had to work the week before xmas but he took it off i made about £1500 that week just so happened that all the stock what had been up but not on computer got returned for cash.
