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?

Re : it's illegal to give a bad referenceNo noob.
Firstly, next time you want to post crap like this, please go to /talk or /links.
Secondly, just for the record, [in the UK] it's unwise, but NOT illegal, to give a bad reference that you can't substantiate. It simply leaves you liable to court actions for damages resulting from its inaccuracies.
It is perfectly legal to give a bad reference if it is truthful and substantive. In other words, if you were lazy and shit and they can prove it, they are allowed to say so. Many ex-employers can't be bothered, so they simply say "no comment", which is a dead cert for getting on to the "application rejected" pile.
As to why I should be fired from my job, no reason just yet, but I'm working on it.
