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?

Bloody call centresI worked in a call centre answering phones for a company owned by a Sir Richard Branson. I could't do it for the life of me; I'm deaf so I don't even know why they employed me.
I worked there for about two weeks, and so was still in my training period, when ALAS! Payday comes! Cue me going hellish shopping in my lunch break and coming back with an item of clothing and a knife for my karate training.
Bitches in there didn't like the fact that I had a knife and a newfound eyebrow piercing (cos of of them got told to take hers out). I get kindly called up to HR and a beastly woman asks me "OMG YOU'VE REALLY GOT A KNIFE OMG OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE'S A KNIFE IN FRONT OF ME" . (actual words) so obviously I look bored.
So, there's a thing in this company; if you leave within three months of starting, you have to pay them. Something stupid like £100 a month remaining. They told me I don't have to.
Luckily, for the next three months, I got full pay. For a full time worker. I was only part time anyway.
Drinks for everybody at the time!
