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?

Burger King (yeah I know)When I was a pimply faced youth, I successfully applied to work for a Burger King due to open just on the outskirts of Doncaster. I went for 4 hours training at the Dome, and thought "Fab", some decent cash for crap work, and cheap food. About 2 or 3 days after the initial 4 hour training, I got a call from the boss saying that there was problems with the new building (the place for the BK was still being built), and that they decided not to open there after all. I was given two choices. Take 4 weeks pay and move on to pastures new, or take 2 weeks pay now, plead my case with the BK bigguns to see if I could work elsewhere, and regardless of the outcome, get the remaining 2 weeks pay later.
Fuck it I thought, it's only shitty Burger King, so I took £180 and left them! To date, that is still the highest paid job per hour that I have ever had! Not bad for Burger King.
Apologies for shiteness of story and not really sticking to the question!
