Well have you ever had the old tin tack from a job?

No, but I seem to average about two a month at the moment. :bag:

yup! I been sacked ...not recently I hasten to add, not since I've grown up!


I've actually been sacked twice ...but one was from a part time bar job ... that doesn't really count does it?!

First time (when I was 16) was when I worked in a rubber factory (there's not a joke I haven't heard!) we made parts for cars. i was always late and took two weeks off sick in the first six weeks ... I would have sacked me!!


The second time was in a pub I worked in, in the Seven Sisters Road. I can't remember why exactly I was drunk at the time!!! :w00t:

No, but I had a feeling before I left the call centre that I used to work in that they were thinking about sacking me.
Which is fair enough as I was pretty neglegent when I worked there and didn't really give a toss.

No I have never been sacked from a job, but to be honest I have not had that many jobs.

I had one between leaving school and having the kids and two since I went back to work after having the kids.

I am such a model employee, no one likes to get rid of me :ninja:
Ain't that right Cat

No, I've never had the sack. I'm just a goodie two shoes :bag:

I was once sacked from a Saturday job. It was at Holland and Barrett and I was 13. You had to be at least 16 to work a full day, but I'd had a row with my Mum who had withdrawn financial support and sod it, I wanted financial independence. A girls gotta get her fags somehow!

I managed to stay there for about 3 months, but it was getting pretty hot with them bugging me for my National Insurance No. (which I didn't have 'cos I was too young). I eventually "confessed" that I wasn't quite 16. It was with great regret that they let me go..... :sad:

Yes, I've been sacked and made redundant more than once. There's always a very good reason though. Honest!

Nope, never been sacked, have been made redundant once. I think today you will need to do something pretty awful to be sacked! There was girl who worked in our Paisley offices and she was caught stealing money, it had amounted to about £3000 and they just asked her to resign. The company gave her a reference in return for her paying back the money, they didn't even get the Police involved.

On the other hand a friend of mine who works for a well-known department store told me that a guy was sacked for eating an apple that had fallen on the floor. The opinion taken was that if he can steal an apple he can steal anything!! A bit harsh, but there you go - BEWARE! :ninja:

Long time ago - from a bar job - they thought I was trying to sell drugs to other members of staff!

What actually happened was - another barman asked if I knew where he could score some dope - I said yes - and the a$$hole went straight to the management and told them that I was selling drugs!

ooo what a meanie Rob!!:glare:


I have been sacked once.

I had my dream job, I worked for Tyne Tes TV, I worked in an office where it was imperative to look smart [apparently], our office dealt with the adverts, selling the airtime, actors, voice overs etc. But I got myself a side line on The Tube [but my office were cool with that].

It was my mode of dress that they couldn't cope with, oh and the very first transmission of Channel 4 - apparently I cocked up the visuals with the sound. So the first ad went out with no sound for 30 secs, then the sound went out - but it was all out of sync [but it really was not my fault].

I used to wear mini tartan skirts, black tights and Dr Martens, or skin tight ripped denims, holey jumpers and Dr Marten bovver boots - with gaudy laces. I was continually warned about my mode of dress - but I worked in TV and that gave my licence to wear what I wanted.

They sacked me!!

I then went into uniform, for the rest of my career.

Yes - about 5 years ago. The boss was a g!t, although since then he has given me two glowing references :glare:

Well, I got the sack on the day the hotel I was working for went bust - for having my bf stay overnight in staff quarters - i was sure it was because the assistant manager was jealous cos she wasnt getting any, she was a reet old maid to me at the time, at LEAST 28 with no bf - spinster of the parish :w00t: !!!! I was 19 at the time...thankfully I have now grown up!!!!!

I also got the sack from TKL (tobacco kiosk in Tescos) when I was 18 - I had left some stock overnight in the lock up at the back door as no one could relieve me, the next morning, my "friend" who I worked with grassed me up to the regional manager who told me that the "offense" resulted in instant dismissal - so I could leave at the end of my shift.................. I told her that if it was instant dismissal to go **** herself, left and spent the afternoon on the lash before going home to tell my Mum :bag:

And finally, I got sacked by my mate about 5 years ago, from his pub, because apparently I was unreliable and would spend sundays on the lash so I was too p!ssed to work the one shift a week I was supposed to cover.......funnily enough, it was him that got stick for sacking me and not me for letting him down constantly :blush:

Edit: Forgot to say, I have sacked too many to mention - I was called the grim reaper at one job as I sacked people regularly for not maintaining targets because the boss couldnt bear the thought of no one liking her!!!!

Nope, never been sacked.
I must just be the exemplory employee that everybody loves :w00t:

Worked in a hairdressers and waited in a restaurant eons ago and got sacked from both of those jobs. Since I entered the vocational industry, they must have some sort of clause stating "thou will never leave the premises".
