Was sacked working at Dominos Delivery.
I would give a free dip when they would be charged 3 for 99p.
Management found out and terminated my contract and said I was undermining them.
Was a bitter pill to swallow as I did love the role.

As a contractor you're always ready for the chop. Only once was I blown out of the building the same day - even then it was because of a bust-up with management the previous week. They had to get someone in from Head Office to tell me. I didn't think I was that scary tbh. Negotiated full payment of my retention bonus and stayed until 7.00pm leaving everything straight for them. My team bought me an £80 bottle of bourbon. Good result all round, I thought.

Never been sacked, closest I came was organising my 'voluntary' redundancy, and the associated package to go, then come back as a contractor.

Once i was working in some crappy customer service type job, the kind where you get loads of temps and the management treat the staff like crap.
This office manager tried giving me a bollocking for something or other in front of the entire office, the usual poor attempt at bullying you get in a small company. I'd seen her previously reduce a couple of temps to tears with her nasty remarks and put downs so i was kind of prepared.
I launched into a foul mouthed tirade that culminated in me telling her that everyone knew that the reason she walked funny was because she was regularly taking it up the backside from the financial controller.
I bumped into a lad who worked there some years later and he said he still chuckled at remembering the incident.
