I Was Fired
Honesty Sometimes Pays Dearly
Financial Controller - (City withheld for privacy), North Carolina, United States
I was terminated for being honest about reporting a 8% negative variance in physical inventory. I wasn't obnoxious or threatening about the incident.

The plant I was at was subject for sale or shutdown and perhaps the timing of the event seemed to fray the nerves of division management. Though the termination, in my opinion was unjust, I am relieved and unburdened by my decision. I am boycotting my former employers products but wish my former co-workers well.

In summary, you work to live not live to work.
