i did...i mean, not a traditional firing but they advised me to resign, cause they didn't really have legal reasosn to fire me.

I was a waitress at a bar,i didn't really allowed to stay longer without payment. My collegues just thought i was crazy cause i had to finish the job
laugh rolling on the floor laughing laugh
So, i was beeing a very bad influence and seen as privileged one! Oh god, they had to get rid of me!
So, they invited me to resign, but then i said...hahahaha...no, no, no! I go home, you pay me untill you have the legitimacy of firing me because i haven't been showing up.So, i got suspended, but with my salary each month for 3 months!laugh

HA! Lots of times! I hated being hired for my "creativity" and then told to be a team player, or that I must conform to company rules and image, not create "waves",etc. etc. even in the military, of "You must follow orders!" Well, sure, but up to a point, then they can go to hell and I go my way...even in very unconventional armies; be it in a "corporate life" or non civilian, I don't like taking orders from idiots , incompetents, lunatics or criminals let alone those with ego or masculinity issues. I go my own way as best as I can and why would people get upset, is beyond me...%)

Very good! Most times I have no idea if I am "plugged in" or if I'm "unplugged"! Ummmm, would that be the same as being "wired" or "unwired", oh never mind; just enjoy the trip and look at all the cool colours....wow! %D

Impossible situation for me. Always been self employed, except for one time when I offered my services as a consultant in a manufacturing industry concern. They had two years backlog. Half the machines were inoperative, as was the motor/truck delivery system.

In two months, I got the machines working, the delivery up to date, and the backlog was gone. The boss said I was so good that at the speed of work that I organised the factory, there was nothing else to do. So he fired me, but that meant continuing to pay me for staying home till the end of the contract.

You have to bear up with us.

I fired myself was as I was an employee of my own limited company - the owner didn't pay me, but there wasn't much point in taking the swine to court!

I started a new job on Monday and got fired an hour later.I have never been fired in my life and i just felt numb.The reason was the lady boss said my hair was distracting my work as my cap could not fully fit.I have long thick braids and i was trying to explain to her that it`s not possible to cover all the braids as the cap was too small but she just asked me to leave.It was a waitress job and that same day i got a call from an international company offering mea very good job as their new cor-ordinator and boy they are crazy to have me on their team.
