Whopper Severance

When it came time to pump Burger King's flame-grilling message yet again, we came up with an insane challenge: publicly admit you got fired on LinkedIn for a free flame-grilled Whopper.

Those who accepted the challenge were sent a legitimate severance offer and a gift card for a free Whopper.

4,852 confessions ranged from the hilarious to the downright heartbreaking, so we linked 250 of them with a career advice counselor to ease the flames for real.
