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.
Soon half the machines in the plant were down. Most just needed simple adjustments, circuit board replaced, servo motor replaced... Things I knew exactly what they needed, even had the parts in stock, but I was no longer qualified.
Many of the machines were drug out to the back slab, sold as scrap, the new manager pocked the money.
The company was hemorrhaging money, customers were leaving. Corporate was watching every penny. Absolutely no overtime!
Here comes the new manager, wants me to head up a crew, go to his house on weekends and after hours, build him a shop with stolen materials and labor.
I told him he was out of his ##$%## mind! No way I could pull that off even if they weren't watching expenses.
The next day I was called into his office and written up for insubordination.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
