I haven't yet been fired from any position but I have resigned or quit in the past. I always left a particular for a superior opportunity.

I worked at place for 2 yrs and everything was fine until my daughter started to get sick. I was one week from FMLA and my daughter was only 1 yr old and in the PICU on a ventolator. They told me that I had to come into work. I told them that my child may not make it and that I was not coming in. they told me " Ok, your fired"
My daughter made it through and was taken off the venolator a week later. I filed for unemployment and they wanted to deny me, they told the unemployment board that I willfully was disobedant. (like I was a freaking dog) I fought it and won, they had to pay me unemployment.

I'm proud to say I've never been fired from a job! I've always worked my hardest and done everything I was told to do, i've found that working is much easier that way.

Yep, got fired from Tim Hortons (coffee). I was supervisor and I had just started, I was trained in the kitchen , picked it up in a few days. Did the shift changes, did everything was doing really well but some of the girls who had been there for 10 or more years didn't appreciate being supervised by a newbie. they fired me after only 3 months of being there, that way they didn't have to start paying benefits. It came as a complete surprise, no warning or nothing. I walked in for my shift, they called me into the office and said they were letting me go. They actually walked me out the back door, Hee Hee what a joke that was.
