I remember working a part-time job as a dishwasher where my manager demanded I stay until 1-2AM to get it right according to her and indefinitely 'fully focus' on my dishwashing duties instead of my other obligations, like to 'sleep'. I declined. Even though she and I both described it as being fired, as did everyone I ever described it to, I guess we were all just mistaken! Really, if we had been more sophisticated, we would have understood I wasn't fired, I simply 'voluntarily resigned to spend more time with my family'.
