Have you ever been canned?
Lumière:
Don't ask me why I am starting this poll .. pure and simple curiosity, I guess! 8)
Feel free to share some of your funniest/freakiest stories about this .. if you got any! :)
Scott6373:
Never sacked, but walked out on many.
Lynne:
As a teen, I didn't give notice once to a restaurant after I saw they were re-using open dishes of sour cream, mixing it back in with the big container if much hadn't been used. Yuck! Turned those folks in to the health department, but nothing came of it that I know about - they went on operating for years. I never went back, but there's a good Mexican restaurant there now.
David In Indy:
I've been fired four or five different times that I can think of. But, I'm sure there's a couple of times I don't remember so it's really more like 6 or 7 times probably.
But I've been working for 28 years, and a few of them weren't my fault IMO.
I'm gonna shut up now while I'm still ahead. ;)
Lumière:
Hey, don't shut up David! We love listening to ya .. ;D
I have never been fired .. I guess I always quit the jobs I didn't like before THEY figured it out and fired me.. ;)
At one of the telemarking jobs I've done in the past (please don't shoot me on account of the telemarketing thing, I was desperate .. ;D ) .. I was summoned by the supervisor one day and basically issued a warning. Why, you ask? One of the creeps working at this place went and complained that the sweater I was wearing was too low cut ( I guess it was distracting him .. ::) ) .. There was nothing wrong with this sweater, it was not revealing in any way .. lol, anyway, the supervisor tried to be nice about it, but the whole thing was so absurd. I couldn't understand how he noticed my sweater to begin with, we were all sitting infront of computer terminals all day ..lol.
Well, I quit a week after that incident .. that was the last straw, seeing as I didn't like the job from the start ..lol.
