Don't think I would have been fired from there anyway because there was no 'valid' reason to, except she clearly didn't like me and made shady digs all the time

that said I did get a written or verbal warning for setting off the fire alarm and getting senior management out of bed when me and a wee scottish girl snuck back into the office late at night and shagged in a toilet (dont ask)
i did not really know about CCTV back in the day. Lucky the HR manager Polly saw the funny side and let me off a bit (also she was shagging my pal Jim and noone knew)

I was fired from my first job for refusing to suck my disgusting bosses dick. I was employed by him and his wife...and apparently the other female staff all just...did it.
Ugh still makes me feel ill now
Got a criminal conviction for that pervert too. All as he tried to rip me off with my whole months wages for not wanting to **** him. Gross.

Loads of people know about him already.
My issue, is that rather than going through the proper channels and reporting him (honestly, I didnt even know it was illegal to sack me in those circumstances...obviously morally wrong, but not illegal) I committed fraud myself to get what I was owed. Mind, during my court case I did actually tell them what happened as part of my defense. My 16 year old self was more concerned about the money I was owed for that month than anything else.
This is all a little vague. Basically, was owed like 600 quid. Idiot was so lazy and stupid he had us doing everything for the business...including signing the companies cheques. I nicked a company cheque, wrote it out to myself for the exact amount I was owed, and cashed it. He then reported me for theft even though technically it was my wages D:
The gall of him though, to involve the police after what he did. I wish I had known back then that it was very illegal, rather than just morally wrong as could have turned the tables on him immediately. Would still have been my word V his though...so he wouldn't have got done no doubt. Could have made him crap himself a little though and maybe put him off trying it with whoever replaced me
I still have to ****ing declare that charge now...'obtaining money by deception' though my 'sentence' was just 20 hours unpaid work
I would probably be on dodgy ground outing him online...as he would have proof that I did it and it would be harassment. Word of mouth though, I think is fine

Kind of? I pretty much danced out of that place though.
It was a cold calling job and it was the worst four days of my working life, they were a bunch of smiling vampires that were all like 'This is a friendly place of work! We all wear what we want and we have an office dog!' but one day, after having pretty much an entire day of calling for people who had died and having to deal with bothering their relatives, the boss was all like 'Why do you end the call when you find out they died? You should still say the pitch.' And I told them no since it was bad enough we bothered grieving relatives, nevermind trying to sell gutters to them. Bunch of vampires.
Two days later, the head smiling vampire called me in for a chat and asked if I was happy, I said no and we agreed to end my employment. I got another interview a few days later, got the job and I've stayed there since.
I still get job notifications from the website and I used and that job is always in the recommended list so it looks like they still can't keep people but it's no surprise.

Hopefully he picks on the wrong girl, and she bites his bits off.

It was bad enough the butcher sticking his tongue down my throat and then locking me in the chuffing freezer when I kneed him.
Yes, once. For accidently taking a £1 lighter home with me when I'd borrowed it off the shelf like I'd seen my other manager do hundreds of times before. She went on maternity leave and the new guy decided to use me as an example because he was a twat like that. As it turned out it was the best thing to ever happen to me because it meant I could focus on my writing so he can frankly toss off. :)

I legit would. Does that make me a bad person?
When I got called in for my disciplinary hearing (for a £1 lighter that I returned) he'd arranged the office so that there were four seats, for me, him, my witness and a note taker. Three chairs were normal sized and then his was a large stool so that he towered over me. I honestly nearly laughed in his face and was secretly hoping they did sack me because I hated the job so much.

The estate agents I worked for tried to sack me when I put a letter on my director's desk suggesting he was being corrupt with his clients and to not involve me as this was in breach of my contract. He immediately removed my keys, the company mobile and sent me home.
My previous job and the one I went back to was with a chamber of barristers in London. They told me exactly what to do and how to handle things. A meeting was arranged (for my constructive dismissal ) My director had his solicitor friend with him and I turned up with my barrister. His solicitor almost immediately backed down and everything went in my favour.
