Yup. My boss was a psychotic workaholic twit who once called me in to work during a state-of-emergency snowstorm (I sprained my ankle getting there, and wasn't allowed to leave to get medical attention) I dared check my email during lulls in my work. Off with my head. Never so glad to get fired in my life.
Got you beat there, I once chopped off a piece of my thumb on a Deli slicer and my boss made me finish my shift as I gushed blood.

Considering I've only had one job and I left that of my own volition some time ago for school, I haven't been fired yet. Though from the stupidity I've seen from the public while out, I could easily see myself being fired in any future job.

I've been "let go" but due to how the people upstairs went about it it counted as an "involentary resignation" so they wouldn't have to pay serverance and wouldn't have to deal with me filing for unemployment.

The other time was because of a union disagreement with my employer so I ended up losing my last job just about two months ago.
Still can't find a new one, not even my local McDonalds is hiring.

Not so much fired. I had a job as a QA Tester for awhile, but was laid off due to company down sizing.

God I loved that job.

Nope, all the jobs I've had (not many) I've left of my own volition, mainly due to school.

I imagine at one point I'll fuck up so badly I will get fired though.

This.

However I was "let go" once because of a slowdown in business, being the only part time guy kind of made me the first to go.

I've only ever had one job, in my life. It was working for a shop that my great uncle owns.

I wasn't fired but I had to quit, because college was getting in the way of it.

Yeah, my first job at our school library. Somehow they got away with paying 2 dollars less than minimum wage.
It was so boring, I had to reorganize books by decimal that were out of order. It was literally standing in front of each shelf for hours arranging things numerically.
Then my boss would come and follow me and if I missed one she'd *****.

Why would they even hire someone if she was going to do it herself anyway?

Needles to say I hated the job and realized non-creative work was NOT for me.

Use to work at a military mess as a waiter/dishwasher/kitchen help (depending what I was shedueled as. Got fired cause I complained about the chef being an asshole who harassed literally every employee either sexually if they were female or verbally if they were male and refused to work beside him as kitchen help while he called me a worthless fuck. They decided the greatest method to resolve this problem was not to just scheduele me as waiter or dishwasher or to have a sit down with him... but instead just to fire me all together since it was easier then dealing with the chef.

My first real job. After a year with them, the company merged with another one that had some sort of stuffy dress policy. I refuse to wear a tie at a job that doesn't require client interaction.

Tell me, OP, after that hat-incident, did you attempt to taste it in any way?
Your answer could determine whether you're my new hero or not.

And, alas, I have never had a job. I know of a fellow who was fired, however, for stealing from the register.

Apparently companies don't like it when you do that.
[sub]Just another instance of the man keeping us down >_<[/sub]
and if you can't tell, that was a joke.
The bolded, last part, I mean.
actually I did taste it after :p not good ._.

No, as I've never had a job.

But even if I did have a job, I doubt I'd get fired for shouting at customers. I'm either too nice or too English for that. Just so you know, the joke here is that English people are stereotypically polite, therefore I wouldn't shout at someone. Just in case that could be interpreted as a foolish belief of national supiriority.

No never been fired. I left my first job because sitting behind a till for hours on end drove me insane. Much happier where I am now =]

I've been fired from a small cafe in a business complex, on my first day. I was later fired from Firehouse Subs after 4 days. My solace there is that the manager who fired me was fired and replaced by a stoner I went to high school with. That fact brings me such joy.

Haven't been fired yet, but only because I've only held one job in my entire life (though if I ever show up late again, I may just be fired.)
