Why should you be fired from your job?I spent three years "working" in the Ministry of Agriculture carefully crafting projectiles out of folded paper and drawing pins that I would then fire at colleagues with an elastic band. On discovering I'd been conducting all-out warfare when I should really have been in a field counting cows, I was asked to "reconsider my career options" outside the service.
Why, then, should you be fired from your job?

I just didWell, not fired. I dunno what just happened. I started as a volunteer, a sort of guinea pig for my boss who needed to boss someone around for a course. Her admin assistant then decided to have a heart attack right in the office, leaving me being drafted in as a temp to cover whilst he recovered. During this, my boss decided she wanted me to work there permanently and nagged her boss to create a position for me, which he did, but company policy dictates it must be advertised. This job was promised to me by both my boss, and my boss's boss. 'It's just a formality, don't worry'.
I didn't even get an interview. Apparently I didn't have enough 'points' (read: disabilities) and I leave in two weeks.
I got so pissed off I tried to quit today but have been threatened by my boss that if I leave, I'll get a bad reference. If I stay and misbehave (had my first complaint about me today, woo hoo!), I'll get a bad reference.
In short, I'm fucked.
Did I mention I work for a well known charity?
