Have you ever been fired from a job?

[AUFred]

I have twice. Once about 1980 and again in 1983.

 

[HK]

Nope. I was once asked not to come back to a ballet class though.

 

[AnitaBeer]

Yup from two. It was due to missing days because of sick kids and no back up option. Luckily, now that the boys are older I'm not having that problem.

 

[dancingpotato]

Nope. I'm a model employee :tooth

 

[Mercury]

No. However, I was close in my last job. We all shared a single cash register and our codes to access it were one digit (yeah ... I was code 4 another person was code 3 and so on) ...

Anyway, money started to go missing from the register and I had a couple of money errors with some transactions so all eyes were on me. Never did take actual money out of that till ... not sure why anyone would jeopardize a steady income for a little cash ... but I became the main suspect. That was not fun.

 

[Springsteen]

No, I've always left them.

 

[Panacea]

Not yet *supervisor stalks over shoulder*

What the hell didja do??

 

[Darrell]

Nope, never.

 

[Minderella]

Never.

I'm still working at the same place I started working (just over the summers) over 10 years ago. I must be doing something right.

Allegedly I made a face at the teacher while she was talking. I maintain that my nose was itching, but we were holding a position and I couldn't move my hand to scratch it, so I scrunched my face up and... well, the rest is history.


I was maybe 8 or 9

 

[acctnt shan]

Nope

Psh ... who would fire Mindy?

 

[Abcinthia]

Not from a job.

I was kicked out of Brownies (UK version of Girl Scouts) when I was 9 though. We were making something out of pretend matches (they were just sticks of wood in different colours the same size as matches, they did not have the bit that causes fire). I was considering what to make and was absent mindedly running a piece of wood on the table. The Brown Owl went mental. Apparantly I was trying to burn down the Church Hall and could never come back.

I cried. I was absolutely gutted.

My mum got asked by my recorder teacher why I was no longer going to lessons. My mum knew nothing about it.

My violin teacher got annoyed at me cos in the concerts, I used to pretend to play, lol.

I never got asked to not come back though.

 

[Panacea]

[jassilem]

I pretended to play in high school band too. I didn't want to mess up on the hard parts and have everyone hear it. I wasn't alone though, most of my section did the same thing. We were all pretty bad lol.
