Once as a teen I forgot I had an extra Sunday opening shift I had volunteered for at a pizza shop I worked part time at. I was passed out at a LAN party after playing Quake 3/SWAT 4 into the early AM hours with the boys when I got an upset voice mail from my boss who said not to show up if i was more than 2 hours late. I asked my dad what to do, and he just told me to show up anyways and try to apologize. tbf I hadn't no-showed before and I guess boss felt like he had over reacted. I got a 25 cents per hour raise that day.
Other time was layoffs at my 11 year long career now, I had been there for 4 years at the time. Union dictated layoffs went by seniority. I was above 1 other person before the hire date cut off. Phew. We're doing better these days and a lot of people got hired back eventually.
