Have you ever been fired?

Yes, just once after only a few days but I didn’t like the job anyways.

If we're counting being let go because of cost cutting, only once. But I've never actually been fired.

i have never been fired. i did quit a few times knowing that layoffs were coming.

Yes, multiple times. :)

Once, decades ago when I was 20 years old. I think I gave notice that I was quitting first, but all these years later I can't remember for sure. All I remember is that it was my only Donald-Trump-you're-fired moment. I was SOOO pissed, I started yelling at my boss that he was an asshole, loud enough for the whole office (or most of it) to hear. I was young enough that this had zero effect on my life and prospects.

yes from a mall job when I was 16. The manager didn't like my superior attitude. It worked out, I moved over to JCPenny to sell coats on commission.

I had a job in the great North Woods working as a cook for a spell

But I never did like it all that much and one day the axe just fell

Yeah, at a department store:

They made some bullshit excuse about not knowing about special offers to get rid of me, wasn’t my department to know that shit I just worked on tills.
