Welcome to Fired!
Fired! Whether you had no idea this was coming or if you brought it on yourself, this is the beginning of an end. But this isn’t just about what happened. This is about the feeling you have inside once you know you’re a goner. The calm of carelessness you enter after getting past the ideas to murder your boss or go postal on your coworkers. This…is about YOU.
Everyone loves to share! Let’s face it, letting go is bittersweet. For some more sweet, for some more bitter. Join us in discussions about our own experiences, share your stories, ask for advice, or rant & vent about any workplace experience.
Best of all, we’re all people just like you. This isn’t a legal site, we’re not attorneys. We just got great stories. Read on!

As I sat there wasting away minutes at useless calculations, I wondered why everything was bundled into one giant PTO pool. Imagine if baseball didn’t break down hits into singles, doubles, triples, and home runs. You’d be as confused reading the back of the baseball card as the manager trying to set [...]

If I told you that you were being replaced at your current job, what would you say? And I’m not talking about the immediate shock and anger about the pending loss of your job. Once you’ve had a moment to think rationally, you’ll probably be wondering, “should I ride this out, or should I make [...]

Sometime deep into a closed door meeting it was decided that employees must be kept happy in their workplace. There was much debate about what mechanism would be used in this endeavor, but one fact was undebatable. Any benefits that were to be put in place, they were to come at a [...]

What I’ve realized since I started writing this blog is that there are a lot of firings in the news… every day there’s a story about a policeman or a teacher or a janitor doing something to get themselves fired. Needless to say the reasons range from stealing to overeating, and if it makes the [...]

Does anyone really need to tell you that this is inappropriate and undoubtedly a fire-able act? DUH! Well, if other people are doing it…
Sure, that’s a valid excuse (may be for your mother). But even parents will have a quick comeback for such a lame excuse. Would you jump off the bridge if everyone’s doing [...]
