Have you ever been fired? If so, why?

Fired? No. Laid off, yes! I was working in a crisp factory (REAL Crisps - if anyone's interested) and I obtained flu, so I couldn't go into work, handling food with this sickness. They laid me off because I didn't come in, when they knew I was terribly ill.

Mind you, the factory was baking hot (when the food should have been kept cool), the water machines never worked and their health and safety was unbelievable. It's a wonder the place wasn't shut down.

Ask me anything
