    It was emotional. This company was passing the buck over and over, and when Chad raised his voice to me, I'd had it, and I lost my temper. Still, the conversation with his ass was less than a minute.

    And, in my biz, saying what I said is used often thanks to this scene.

    Sorry to hear, but you have to remember you're a boomer and the world belongs to the millennials now.

    I'm pretty sure you are older than me, but I'm a boomer too. You should know by now our generation basically doesn't exist.

    I have lost opportunities in the past doing the same thing because that was how it worked back in the day. Knowing this I would never have anything personal or of value in my office because any moment it my not be my office any more. As I got my emotions in check my employment lasted longer but made less money. I haven’t been in sales since 1998.

    If those asterisks are what I think it is, using a sex act as an adjective for a British term for cigarette, I've never called someone at work that or even referred to them behind their back as that.

    It's seriously weird that a man at 50 gives a **** about someone's age. I'm 48 and have friends who are 25 and friends who are 75. Yeah, I talk **** about and to them about their generations but it's in jest, not some sort of weird caste system.

    Oh wow, I'm proud of myself. I've been assuming that he said f'ing f'er this whole time, the other thing never crossed my mind.

    if im reading this correctly fatty, you got into an argument with a client and called them a "f***ing f**" and got fired for it? sorry dude, but you left your boss no choice on that one. you called a client a "f***ing f*g". that is way beyond crossing the line. no matter how much your boss might have liked you, they had to let you go brah.

    Since he wrote this:

    The next week, they say I've been terminated for using a misogynistic word...

    I assumed he said f**go*.
