    Have you ever had a job that was trivial enough to you that the threat of termination didn't scare you?

    I have never been fired. Jumped ship just moments before in a couple of instances. That was back in the good economy days when you could take that job and shove it. I left some jobs that were OK, but just wanted to hit the road.

    Now, I am fed up with my work conditions but need to keep the job as it's the only one available. Too many ppl right now who have been unemployed for over a year.

    Yes. I was so happy the day they let me go.

    Yep. And ironically, that was the job I stayed at the longest.

    Oh yeah. I knew I would get unemployment if I was let go b/c i wasn't at fault. I made sure I stole as much shyt as I could before they gave me the inevitable boot.

    The ironic this is they fired me for my register coming up short--the day my manager was using it.

    No. I was fired only once and felt devastated and humiliated. But my next job was a better one.
