Have You Ever Been Fired From A Job?

[FreeOnes_Adam]

Now I work for myself and god, my boss is such a raging bitch. :suicide:

I used to know that pain

Closest I got was a demotion. Basically the juvenile facility I worked at let it's administration get out of hand and they waited until the yearly check came up to try to get it in order. I was a newly promoted case manager so they let me take the blame (even though there was NO WAY I could have fixed it in the allotted time) so they could get an extension on it getting done. Now that I think about it, I think that's the only reason I was given the position.

Scapegoat is one of the worlds longest running professions. There always seems to be an opening for those jobs too.

Came close once when I was 18. I worked evenings in a supermarket whilst I was doing my A-levels. I knew I would be leaving the job in two months to go to University so my hard working ethic of the previous 2 years at the supermarket went downhill big style. I was told that if I hadn't left I would have been sacked. Like I could give a shit, I was off anyway!

After graduating getting a serious job etc, I have been head hunted three times so can't be that bad.

AWWW, your storie reminded me when I used to work in a supermarket, I worked at the Bakery making chocolate chips cookies, everyday at 4:00pm I would go out on the floor with my chocolate chip sample tray, I think thats the first time i develope fans, the guys would wait for me at 4:00pm and lined up so i would give them their cookie. :heart:

If I ever had a decent job I wouldn't have been fired from all those crap jobs. The best job I was qualified for I was judged too crazy to be hired for. Thank God I have money or I'd be broke. I'm an egotistical insubordinate with a Messiah complex with poor work ethic usually too stoned to care. The only headhunters after me are from Islamic State.

Never been fired. Learned the tricks in university and been in control ever since. Now my employer cannot afford to let me know because of the huge severance pay.

can you share the tricks you learn in college with us? hehe

Certainly. To keep things short:
1. Find a way to differentiate yourself from others who can do the same job. This might be learning another skill and/or language, etc... This helps you establish a niche market for yourself.
2. Never depend on 1 source of income.
3. Learn how to negotiate.

NEVER.Always walked.Usually get itchy feet after 5 or so years or when the job gets so monotonous i can do it in my sleep.

 

[banane18021802]

yes, once. company paid me to leave. found new job week after. so the fact of getting fired made me lots of $$$....

 

[D-rock]

I've never been fired, but I have to wonder if I wasn't set up to fail a couple of times, and then still manage to pull my job off despite that leaving my employer baffled.

I work with a couple of fucking shitbags that live to throw people under the bus. They've done it to me a couple of times...nothing serious enough to get me fired, but I still had to listen to crap, I didn't want to, or deserve to hear from my boss. I told him I was being fucked with, and who was doing it, but he looked at me like I was full of shit. I told him next time, I won't bother him...I'll just handle it myself, and walked away.

Never on the spot, but been told I've got a week left
