Fired?

[Nebulous]

Have you ever been fired from a job? How did it happen?

[Uncrowned Guard]

Never been fired, closest thing was my job position itself was ended and I ended up getting released due to that.

I was fired from a fast food job I did when I was 16, but I deserved it.  I was a lousy worker back then.

I have never been fired. I have been let go as a temp many years ago but it wasn’t about me; the job just didn’t need the extra workers anymore.

I hadn't gotten fired but I did get laid off a couple of times when I worked in Chicago in advertising and marketing. It was when the companies were going through hard times and trying to drum up business. They kept the more experienced workers and got rid of me, but then called me back to do freelance for them and I made more money doing that. They weren't too smart.

No, but then, I've only ever had one proper job!

I was fired from my very first job, being a server at an Italian restaurant. I accidentally broke one wine glass, and he said something along the lines of "you're done".

Yup, got fired from my first job for employee theft. I was so young and dumb, and regret it every day. I was such a dummy back then and just made a bad choice.

I have never been fired from any job in my life and I hope not to have such experience because it's definitely going to break my spirit. On the other hand, I have resigned from jobs on my own will whenever I see it's no longer working for me. 

[Joshua Farrell]

Nope. But then again, having solid end dates on job contracts help avoid confrontation. Haven't done anything to get myself fired from the jobs I have done in the past.

I have had a few jobs in my life and of all of them, there was never a time that I was fired. I remember a waitress job I had, someone was stealing from the cash register and before they found out who it was, there were mentions of people getting fired. Luckily they found out who was stealing the money and they got fired and the rest of us didn't.

I’m not going to admit publicly whether or not I’ve been fired from a job. Don’t want prospective employers to be reading this topic here. But, being fired from a role isn’t a nice feeling and it’s very hard to pick yourself up again but it does indeed make you a stronger person.

I didn't show up for work.   There was a huge personal thing blowing up at the time.  Anyway, I should not have quit because it was incredibly bad for my future.  In fact, I should have been a man and roughed it out and my job performance was good, aside from quitting. 🤢

There are some jobs that can become very challenging for you and it's going to be very difficult for you to give 100% on the job all the time. Whenever it gets to this point with me in any job, I'm going to walk away for my mental health.
