I never got fired in my life, but i'm wondering if you had such an expirience. If you had, why did you get fired, and how did you feel that day? Was it your fault or your bosses'?

When I was 16, I got a job doing telemarketing. It was my first job and I was excited. Well, we basically got people to pay for a trip to (insert tourist filled city here)to see a timeshare. I tried really hard, but never could sell people on the idea. My supervisor called me back and fired me. I wasn't sad though. So I asked if I could just hang around til my mom came back to get me. The district manager, who I think had a crush on me, asked why I wasn't on phones. I told him what happened, and he hired me back not 10 minutes after. Two months later though, I got "laid off" with about 15 other people. Never once felt bad about it. My last job, I worked scooping ice cream, at this hellish place, with a hellish boss. I hated her, but I just wanted to work and get a little extra cash before going on vacay. Went, came back and quit a week later. She was driving me crazy and the job was more stressful than it should have been, so I quit just before she fired me.
