When will you know you are going to be Fired?


Recommended Posts

Ouch, that sucks.

 

17 years old and my first day of work, boss hands me a 0-80 plug thread gage and says "don't drop this because it breaks easily and we don't have a spare". He places the gage in my hand, it rolls through my fingers and hits the floor.......breaking into pieces. :doh: . Boss lets out a big sigh, turns and walks away. Figuring I was fired after 15 minutes of employment, I collected my tool box and headed for the door. Boss stopped me and said "not so fast butter fingers, we'll keep you around to see if you can do better". That was 32 years ago and I'm still working there. :thumbsup:

If the guy's job was to EVENLY distribute broken beer bottles across the road, he MAY be up for a promotion!
