I've been laid off and fired. Got laid off at my first design job, but it was all on good terms. They let me use the company printer for 2 weeks while putting together my portfolio and resume. They even threw a going away party for me.
The first time I got fired was in college. I totally deserved it. I got caught "fixing" a tip. I had already received one warning. I think I got off easy, considering that credit fraud is a felony. This was back when I was not quite so scrupulous, i.e. before I became a Christian.
The second time I got fired, I told my boss in veiled language that I considered his boss to be an idiot. Beyond that I'm not quite sure why he fired me, unless he could actually see in my body language that I didn't think very highly of him either.
Overall I think these experiences have made me a much better employee, and have given me a stiff dose of reality. There is nothing in this life that is firmly anchored.
