Have you ever been fired from a job before? What was your reason? Did you move onto something different or better afterwards?

Not fired, but I have quit a couple of times, the last time because I had to stop working to look after my mother.

I've never been fired from a job, but I have quit with very little notice a couple of times. I've had many problems in the past couple of years...

I quit my job at DG without any notice and seems no one got super mad or upset for it as I made up a good reason. Well...the reason is sort of true.

Only done that once, lol, but it was a terrible work environment, so I didn't feel guilty about it.

I never felt bad about no call no showing. I did it due to management one time.

Yeah, when it's a bad work environment it's best to get away from there, 100%

I've never been fired before, though my last job I didn't put my two weeks in. I called in a few times, but eventually just stopped calling in and didn't show up. I got a new job shortly after anyways, so I was only out of work for about a month. It was at Walmart, and I got fed up with the managers accusing all the people working in dairy as lazy when in fact only two people were slacking off. That was the last straw, I worked there for six years and never even got my five year plaque. I feel that HR ladies were shady, and felt that at least one was a bit transphobic... I heard her agreeing with an associate about Target's bathroom policy that was new at the time and yeah it wasn't any good opinion, I'll leave it at that.

Glad you got away from that sort of an environment. Absolutely terrible sort of thing to try and work with.

I haven't been fired from a job yet and I hope that never happens. I would rather glady resign than being fired. As a matter of fact, I have resigned from 3 different jobs when it no longer suits me.

Never been fired from a job though but I was close to being once for something I hadn't even done. I was working as a waitress at a restaurant of a family friend's mum, she owned the place and someone was stealing from the cash register. No one knew who it was and everyone who worked became a suspect, I and someone else was close to being fired due to the issue until the person who was stealing got caught out.

I have left some jobs voluntarily. Getting fired from a job has never happened to me. I try to do my best and when I am fed up, I tend to leave.
