Never been fired, but quit once to avoid the inevitable.
Had worked as a maintenance man at a division of a large mfg company for about 9 years.
I was the only tech they had, they had some others, building maint, grounds keepers, janitors, but I was the only one that could diagnose and repair machines, mechanical and electronic.
This place was horrible! A little Sodom and Gomorrah! If you weren't embezzling money or bedding down one of the secretaries, your days were limited!
One day I got another new boss, happened quite often...
With each change of leadership came a purging of the old regime and replacing them with the new boss's unemployable buddies.
This time I got busted down to grease monkey, my replacement had no clue what he was doing.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
