I've never been fired, but I can think of several memorable people around me that have. The first was the manager at the CVS where I worked in college. The first manager, while a drunk, ran a tight ship, and when he decided to move out of state, his long-time assistant manager took over the store. The new manager was an incredibly nice guy, and that was his problem - he was too nice. He let his employees walk all over him, and the store suffered for it. In the end, the company fired him, and the guy didn't take it well. For months afterward, we'd see him drive by the store or sitting out in the parking lot. I wouldn't have thought him capable of violence, but he was obviously very depressed.
At my last gov't job, we fired a crazy nut that had worked there for three months. He was a quiet loner who wore a wife-beater on casual Friday (this was a professional environment), and he got in an argument with his co-workers and said they "were on his list". We let him resign in exchange for dropping any claims he might file against the gov't, but we were all kind of afraid he might come back and shoot us.
