It's pretty easy for one to be fired. However, there are times when I've been saddled with co-workers where the firing seemed to drag on forever. No matter how it happens, I always enjoy an exit with drama. If you gotta go, you might as well leave a lasting impression.

And if you're going to show up drunk, take a breath mint first. But if you do get fired, please make it entertaining. Unless of course it's sad and a proper situation.

Nobody is perfect, especially in the workplace. Watching co-workers get the axe can be satisfying but also nerve wracking.

One thing is for sure, there is no perfect way to let someone know their out.
