If you spend three hours of your workday putting a chair together, I can sort of guess at the reasons why you were let go, to be honest...

If the new chair was the highlight of your job man then you shouldn't be too sad. Speaking of which though, your boss will probably take your new chair. Make sure you loosen a few screws...

Yea, in addition to lumbar support it made coffee, was Harvard educated, a good listener and had excellent interpersonal skills. Come to think of it, the chair might have taken OPs job.

Perhaps that's because you spent three hours putting a chair together rather than doing actual work. You know, what you get paid to do.

What the hell kind of chair takes 3 hours to put together? Does the thing have a flux capacitor? 88 MILES PER HOURS!

Sorry OP, but you totally deserved this one. How does one take three hours to put a chair together? Were you making it out of Legos??

If it took you 3 hours to put together a chair, maybe that's why they got rid of you.

It didn't even take me 3 hours to put my kitchen table and 4 chairs together. No wonder your looking for a new job. Good luck in finding a new job.
