yes, from calling off sick too much and being late (attendance problems)

Once, and it was just as I was about to quit anyway. It was primarily a personality conflict, combined with one senior staff member who considered all technical people peons.

Fired. Laid off. The boss' daughter wanted work, so I was the one to go. I was 15 years old.
Laura,

I've never been fired. But I have stayed too long in jobs that I was no longer challenged by.

No, I haven't.

No, never.

Not fired for misconduct or anything, but I have left jobs due to the company wanting me to, rather than me wanting to. Once because the company was just starting up, and wasn't making enough to pay me, and once because my role was moving half way across the country, and I wasn't able to move with it.

I was once fired after 15 minutes. One of the most humiliating experiences of my life...considering how many humiliations I have to choose from, that is saying something.

When I was a teenager, I worked at a summer camp as an art assistant. I made $200 for the whole summer. Not a lot of money. So when they had open house on a Saturday, they wanted me there. So being a teenager, I did not go and they fired my for it.
