I was fired as Assistant Service Manager at a GM dealership.
I was in sales, and when a consultant talked the dealer into creating a new position of Asst. Service Mgr., I went for it, thinking the income would be more consistent. It was a wrong move.
The Service Manager and I couldn't work together. He'd run his own show for so long, he wasn't ready to share it with somebody else. Plus by then I'd had my own auto body shop and used car lot in town, plus I'd been Service Manager for the Ford dealer, and plus sales at that dealership, I had a considerable following of my own around town. People would walk into the Service Department, walk right past the Service Manager, and deal with me. That rankled him no end.
Things went downhill over a period of about four months, till he finally fired me. As it happened, I had a fair amount of body work lined up for my shop on the farm. I was fired when I got to work at 7:30. I went a block down the street to a coffee shop and had coffee with some friends, and within an hour I was self employed in my own shop.
Infinitely less stressful than trying to work with that guy. Then a year or two later, the dealership was sold and he was out the door, too.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
