Itg should be obvious from all this that if you have reasonable people as bosses, you won’t be fired for minor fuckups, so long as you don’t repeat them constantly. If you have an asshole for a boss or you’re working for a firm that’s decided to cut workers, you can be fired even if you’re perfect. In short, it doesn’t matter how good a slave you are, it’s mostly a matter of who owns your ass.

Same as it ever was.
