Poll question: When you8 are told by mgmt you're fired, what do you say in return?
Joking, of course. Use "other" for serious replies; what would YOU say?

1. You can't fire me cuz I quit
Wouldn't do it though, if you qualify for unemployment.

2. "Can I ask why?"
Don't...don't...say anything that will come back to haunt you. Though it may feel good for about 30 seconds. The way the economy is going, you can't afford to burn any bridges with former employers.

4. I told the last one to go fuck himself.
I actually did say that. He was trying to back me into a corner(literally), had his finger poked into the middle of my chest, was standing on his tiptoes and trying to look down at me(pathetic since I'm only 5'2). He gave me this whole speel about how women are worthless and other crap before he actually fired me.
I told him to remove his finger before I broke it and told him to fuck himself as I was walking out the door. It turned out ok-seems he has a rep in my town for pulling crap like that.

5. Good god.
No one should have to go through that. It's just amazing the shit that floats to the top and calls itself management.

Do what you have to do. It sounds like you have a case to me.

7. I knew it- your firing me because I won't have sex with you!
I'm a 42 year old male and my boss is a slightly older male. I would make him squirm a little. (P.s. It would be best to say this in front of my co-workers)

9. When the HR whore said a perfunctory 'I'm sorry'
I said, "No, I don't believe you are."

That's about all I remember.

11. Once I just got fed up with a job & walked out.
My manager was an asshole & I was being lied to - so I left.

About a year later - after the manager was fired - the owner called me and asked me to come back.
