    Rather than being fired, I have preferred to just walk out on a job and never look back.

    Yes i was fired once in the past, one of my proudest moments, i stood my ground when a boss gave me one option or the other, i chose neither and walked out with my head held high knowing that i didn't bow down to the boss.

    I highly recommend it.:)

    Yeah, Once! A longtime ago mind.

    Worked for a t-shirt printing company and didn't go into work one day as I went to see a football match instead. Even though I thought I'd got permission to have the day off I was supposedly wrong. Oh well :(

    I've had two jobs and been fired from both.

    The first was for cutting down a tree with an axe, the second was beating up a member of staff for kissing my (ex)girlfriend.

    Uhm, might I ask what the first job you had was, cuz cutting down a tree seems quite random...

    It was at a Clay Pigeon Shooting Centre, my job was to pick up shells, and to setup and load the traps. One day I was bored, so I cut down a tree. My boss shouted at me and fired me because it was farmers land.

    How was I to know, I was only 13 :eek:

    Create your own company. Then you are the boss.
