Were you ever sacked/let go from a job?
If so, why? (I'm not just talking about work you might've did and been let go from as a teenager.)

i was only made redundant once through my entire career and that was when the company were on their third round of redundancies where there was basically no-one left and everyone had been put through the wringer so much we were already emotional wrecks :laugh:

Sacked from my first job….went to a New Years Eve party that lasted 3 days and was too honest to lie and throw a sickie.
|
I was let go from a cleaning job when I was 18 because I lied through my teeth about having cleaning experience I didn't have and it showed on-job. I went away and became almost compulsively clean for one or two unrelated reasons but at the time I just wasn't up to it. Suddenly having to get up at 5a.m. and having to get two early buses just wasn't my voluntary bag back then, either. I lasted six days. H.R. decided to throw me out before I could even open my mouth to say anything so I was burnt toast by the time enough was enough.

Sacked the rehired 2 weeks later cause they realised they needed me.

At least you weren't caught drinking on the job. It was years ago and I was going through a borderline-alkie phase but by the time I was trying to get away with drinking gin on my night shifts I was essentially toast. It was a good job that I shouldn't have taken for granted so much but like I said I had a serious drinking problem back then.

As long as you had a good time. You were re-instated so it's a win-win.
|
And I doubt A.I./artificial intelligence could ever replace the job you do so y'know. If they need you they need you.
|
jobs are self creating it's how it has always been. Needs will change as AI flourishes, but there will still be needs

What cocktail was that, by the way?

All the time.
My rates are too high for a client to ever sustain me long term. |

Never been sacked or let go - but had to be the one that lets people go. Never a fun conversation
