sacked, fired, terminated, let go, laid off, disengaged, canned, made redundant...

Today I got sacked from my job. They said they're making cutbacks cos the business is struggling. I could have coped with that as a reason, but then they made a point of making up "negative reasons" for why they were letting me go, and said I had been too slow at my job. This was quite nasty really because if that HAD been the case then the least they could have done was give some warning that my job was in danger if I didn't improve. Anyway at least I get lie-ins now, albeit without any more money. Yes I was pretty angry at first but now I'm used to it. The worst thing is the fact that I live next door to where I used to work. Heh, yeah...
