have you ever been fired and talked your way out of it?

Answer 1

Well if you talked your way out of it, then you wouldn't have been fired now would you?

But, yes, I think there have been people in my life that were ready to fire me for something they thought I did. Once I explained myself, then they were okay. They weren't always happy, they'd say stuff like, well, I wish you'd have come to me first and stuff like that.

Nowadays, if ANYTHING questionable happens, I always make sure my boss is aware of it in advance. NO suprises!

I have never actually been fired.

(Funny that I work in "Fire Protection"... hehe... geez I crack myself up!)
