How many jobs have you all quit/been fired from over the years?
What were some of these jobs?
Was there justification for your resignation/termination?

Just one.
By the boss who said if anyone liked him, he wasn't being a good boss. By his metric, he was the best boss in the world.

2. Maintenance worker and an electrician.
When I was a maintenance worker, I got fired because the boss thought I was a lousy worker. That firm got lots of complaints from their clients, their supervisor was an alcoholic, and their best maintenance worker was a rapist and a pedophile (he was convicted a few years later). That firm went bankrupt shortly after they had fired me.
I had to quit as an electrician due to allergy and asthma.

quit 3, fired from 1.
the job of a lawyer was the hardest one to leave, the firing was because I reported internal rasistic and abusive behaviour of a superior and peers.

I was fired as a restaurant server basically for not adding the "required" gratuity for a table of 11, who all paid separately, half paying in cash, another half paying in credit.
I've quit from four jobs, including a data filing job halfway into a two week temporary assignment.

At least 15, but I have only been fired once. The rest were walk outs.
Most of these were when I was a teenager (I am 35 years old now) and I had so many jobs around this period of time that I don't remember them all.
Dairy Queen A & W fast food Rocky Rococo Pizza PDQ gas station Neil Diamond's (a bar where I washed dishes - this was my first job ever) 4 Lakes Labeling Co. (I quit after one day) K-Mart (I quit after one day) State Historical Society of Wisconsin Wisconsin Memorial Union (I quite after one day) Taco Bell Noodles & Co. Michael's Frozen Custard

I was fired as a sample guy at the grocery store. The managers there said I didn't talk to costomers, which was bullsh*t. I just didn't talk to the managers themselves, which I didn't have to since I worked for a third party and not for them.
Then I've been fired a couple of times in the acting field. It's always been for personal reasons and not because of my actual "job performance".

Was a volunteer in the book department of a thrift store. A customer said I should check on the internet and see if any of the books could be sold for more money that the under one dollar they were going for. So. Put some potential books under the counter so that I could check them before they got sold. Busy body crone from the toy department decided I was putting them away so that I could steal them. Ran off to tell the manager who didn't even want to hear what was going on β¦ I think relative of the crone. so ... I was fired from a volunteer job ! End of Story : One of the books was a first edition novel that was selling on e-bay for $50.
