If so, how did you deal with it? I've kind of been fired. When I was working for a company named Allen Properties, I started as an intern and got a summer job out of it. With a few months under my belt there, I bought a car. Note that before I did so I asked my boss if my job was secure, and he said he didn't see why not, so I went ahead and replaced my truck. A little over a month after that, he sat me down and said, "Well, we don't have room in our winter budget for your job." -_- So it wasn't really a firing, though I may know what led to it.
