Temerity

"I don't believe you have the nerve to ask for a raise," my manager shouted at the top of his lungs. He wanted to make sure that everyone on the floor could hear him in their open cubicles. "You work 50 hours a week with no overtime, maintain a 100% call pick up rate, get every customer off the phone in 6 1/2 minutes, and you think you deserve a raise?" His face is beet red.
"That email was seen by every person in the company, record profits, all I'm saying is that the people on this floor who work their assess off share in the good news. What's the point of working ourselves to death with unrealistic expectations just so the owner, who doesn't do anything but surf porn all day, get a six-figure bonus?"
So I sit here in the unemployment office, trying to find the right words to fill in the three-inch long space for "reason for termination."
