    I've worked a few temp/seasonal jobs, so I'm kinda used to it, do they count? Serious jobs I just send in my 2 week notice. But think of it this way, if they were actually good jobs they probably wouldn't be firing you, so to anyone who feels sour after getting canned, don't be. They just set you free to go on and do bigger and better things, good luck.

    Well said! That's a great outlook. Some day I'd like to be my own boss...

    In high school I was fired from a movie theater. I made a lot of mistakes because I didn't care about the job. My boss handed me a list of all the mistakes I made (with dates) and told me I was fired. I wish I would've kept the list, it'd be funny to look at now.
    Also in high school I was working as a dishwasher and then got a job at a skatepark. I kept both jobs but I would call in sick to my dishwashing job to pick up shifts at the skatepark, eventually they found a dishwasher to replace me which was better for everyone.

    I was fired from my first real job. I was 17 years old and I had worked at the store for a year. One day I was doing markdowns on the clearance rack, and later without thinking, I bought something off of the same rack. They said that I marked it down incorrectly and had done it intentionally so I could buy it cheap... :rolleyes:

    Whew! OK, I jumped to conclusions. I have known people to have done things like I thought you had and then could not see that they actually did something wrong.

    Yes I have, I got fired 4years ago for working at this store called "Fruit Bowl" just because they wanted me to do things when there was nothing to do and i walked off from talking to the boss for a girl that I wanted to have sex with.

    I was never fired fortunately. Either I quit them, or in one case...they went out of business.

    Regardless I worked some pretty crappy jobs where I may have been better off fired, just to get me out of there faster.

    Nope. As of now, I've never worked for someone else, other than myself. Hopefully I can keep it that way. I Don't work for "The man".

    I've been fired once in my life, and quit two jobs.

    Technically I got fired because my boss didn't want to give me my week of paid vacation, since I work part time and it wasn't exactly in their budget at the time. That, and because once I started college I couldn't work much.

    So the next thing I knew, they changed my schedule completely around (conveniently) and I was fired for not showing up on a day I was supposed to have off.

    Some businesses make me sick...I was happy though. I'm now self employed.
