This is a question Sacked II

I once had a "friend" (I hated his guts) who lost two jobs on the same day - he drunkenly crashed the taxi he was driving when he was supposed to be at his office job. How have you been sacked?

Shush, twat. You weren't there.
Your opinion is based on what 'You reckon'. You're not the omniscient overlord of me.

as you weren't there when it happened
your suggestion is neither here, nor there.

I wasn't there when you leapfrogged a double decker bus
you don't need to be present to recognise that a story is obvious twaddle

He definitely didn't leapfrog a double decker bus or I'm sure he'd have mentioned it by now
But he was definitely working at Aston Martin when I met him and he used to come home talking about the problems of sorting out the sat nav on the pre production models, so the balance of probability, given that he is pretty bloody clever, is that it did happen as he said. He's currently being very clever with hybrid batteries at another big vehicle development company.

I don't doubt any of that ... but he certainly wasn't sacked or made redundant for pointing out a couple of rudimentary holes in their testing procedures.
Or for leaping over a bus.

Contract engineer admits the only things left to solve are unsolvable.
It's fairly straightforward. I wasn't supposed to just point out problems, I was supposed to fix them. Especially at the beginning of the recession, would be unwise to keep spare people in doing nothing on contractor wages. Plus the Quality manager came from Toyota and wasn't used to hearing negative language. *EDIT "Improvements of xx% in production allowing 33% reduction in size of workforce" is in his web CV
