Have You Ever Been Sacked From A Job? Share Your Story
What was your experience?
The only true sacking was when I was 17 a friend helped me get a job at the place where she worked- they made sandwiches for vending machines. After a few weeks my friend came to my door and gave me a letter saying it was from the manager.
I read it and they basically said they had to let me go as I wasnt making the require number of sandwiches. I told my mum when she got in and first thing she said was 'ooh no, youre just a loser arn't you'. I went upstairs and cried lol
As it really wrecks your confidence I wondered has anyone got similar experiences..

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I did a part-time job in a pub where the two bars were joined in a T-configuration. (So I worked in the up-&-down bit of the 'T', with a colleague working in the across-the-top bit of the 'T'). The landlord and landlady had a strict rule that we two staff weren't allowed to talk to each other. (Even work-based enquiries, such as "Have you got many pound coins in your till?", weren't permitted).
I was then 'let go' because I £didn't mix with the other staff".
(I'm still trying to work out how I should have 'mixed' without ever speaking. Perhaps I should seek advice from some Trappist monks?)
Like you only once when I was 17. I applied in the Spring and was accepted to work at the local cliff top cafe. It was to be in the summer hols from 6th form so I could save up. I worked 2 weeks hard slog really, selling ice-creams etc in the shop first week and then waiting tables and doing the still (the hot water area for teas etc) the second week. After 2 weeks they gave me my wages and said they were letting me go (another girl in my year actually was a regular there and wanted to work the summer again).
Like you maybe I was highly affronted, ashamed to tell family and really upset. It was decades ago and still makes me upset now :-)
