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...

Probably fixing the chair for three long hours was the reason why you got thrown out by your boss...

Anyone who take 3 hours to put together an office chair does need to be fired.

Your current unemployment is probably due to the fact that it took you three hours to do something like putting together a chair. Sorry OP.

We don't know if the OP multitasked for those 3 hours.

Should've went and took the chair apart and taken some of the bolts and nuts.
