Yep, I was 16. It was my first job as a hostess in a really busy family owned Italian Restaurant. The mother (boss lady) was so mean. I finally told her off after she accused me of flirting with her husband (which is one of the grossest things ever). She told me it wasn't working out and that I should finish my shift and go home. Finish my shift? Are you friggin' kidding me? I laughed in her face and walked out.

My first job as an information organizer for a municipal company for replying to a racist post on a message board while working, blaming rap for portraying blacks in a negative way and other things. I was also not taking the job as seriously as I should and revealed that I was working for this company on the same message board.
The reason for this was because I had an unreliable internet connection at home (back during 56k and NetZero) and so utilized the workplace's connection to do non-work-related things.
They were monitoring me and my work the whole time from a remote computer. I remember doodling in MS Paint and e-mailing a girl I was attracted to while working. I remember deleting the Internet History every so often there. I am so embarrassed for having done these things during the company's time but I remind myself that **** happens and you have to move on.

I have and it was unfair. I worked in a fancy hamburger place in Seattle called the Turbulent Turtle. I was a waiter there and this one night the place was packed. I had six tables, and I was taking the order from a table of two girls.
Well, apparently the friends of the owner were sitting in my section and I did not get to them fast enough. They told him that I was flirting with those girls in my section, and I was not. They fired me on the spot because of the complaint.
Looking back at this, it was ok it happenned because every pay day we had to line up at the bank so that we could get our checks cashed. They were having problems having enough money in the account to pay their workers.
About a month after I was fired the place closed down because they did not pay their taxes. I was hurt because they fired me believing somebody that was tables away from hearing anything just because their fat little bellies were hungry. The owners believed them and not me.
So unfair. But such is life.

Yes two times. I was a temp in government agency. I did a very good job. I had about 200 co-workers and I believe about 98% of them liked me. I was very efficient, dependable, thorough, and most of all qualified for the position. Which I can say most the regular workers were not. Well I got let go through condecending bosses who used there high powered jobs to belittle me. I really think they felt threatened because most of them were a bunch or morons that could not even spell or anything. Another girl got fired for breaking up with a big fat mommas baby when she broke up with him. His mom worked there too for years and had a lot of seniority, so she got everybody to get down on her when she broke up with her overweight baby. I had another job in which I didn't go along with there unstructured, disorganized, family oriented, kiss your *** office politics routine. so guess what! I got fired for not being happy enough. I not good at acting! So I got fired.

I was hired as a manager, but given intern level work to do. Bored out of my skull, I surfed the net all day. I was fired, I sued for a lot of money and I won.

Nope. Because I am dedicated, respectful and sincerely want to perform the job well.
