Have you ever been sacked?

[Theatre of Trees]

What for and how many times?

Only the once for me and that was at Wimpy when I was 14 for smoking in a public area.

[colinpants]

loads of times. i even managed to get sacked from the same company twice. Beat that.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Once, for saying that i wasnt going to uni in a few months, when i was

 

[Starry]

Once.

Unfair dismisal and they had to pay me all my lost earnings from them by the time it went to tribunal plus a years salary as compensation.

They tried to say I wasn't sacked because I was pregnant, but I knew damn well I had been and when it was looked into my then line manager and his boss had written emails about "getting rid of the pregnant one" etc. Assholes.

Actually I've been sacked by the same company twice, but at different locations.

Also, I never went back to check but I'm fairly sure I was sacked from a bar I worked at whilst at uni after I drank my own body weight in booze during regular trips to the cellar. I was so out of it that I dropped a case of Smirnoff Ice down the stairs, smashing every one of the 24 bottles and just sat there laughing. The only other memory I have of the night is the burly Irish guy who ran the place manhandling me out onto the street at about 2am.

Like I say, never bothered to collect my P45, just kinda assumed.

And no, I wouldn't do it again. Nor would I recommend it. NOT cool

[poke]

I haven't, but there's someone who posts on here who got a written warning for passing out on the toilets at work after a night long drinking sessions and no sleep. His boss had to climb into the cubicle to get him out!
