Re: Have you ever been fired?
This is sort of the opposite of being fired. I was working as an advertising artist back in the '70s at a very well-known but disreputable local agency. The employee turnover was about 50 percent a month, in all departments, primarily because the owner/manager was, frankly, a lunatic. I lasted about three months -- seemed like three years -- then got another job but continued to freelance for the ad agency.
Then their checks started to bounce. I'd show up on Tuesday afternoon with the final of their Wednesday double-truck ad down in the car, and say, cash only. That worked for about a month. Then they didn't have any loose cash on hand. So I started taking office furniture in exchange for the labor. That lasted a couple of months, and then the manager and his female assistant vanished with all the company assets. That was the end.
I just looked this guy up via Google. He's recently involved in some sort of scam involving the CIA and Cuba.
Still got some of the furniture.
