YDI, sleeping is for at home
this was an episode of friends. chandler got sent to tulsa
At my last job they were on the verge of doing layoffs and I had another job offer so I praying for a layoff. I decided to act asleep at the big all hands meeting. Got the layoff and cashed in.
Instead of doing the mature thing and discussing things over with your boss/manager/employer. Yeah you're real cool. You're lucky that your job didn't need contact your old job and hear that you were sleeping in meetings.
Something similar happened to me. I got fired from a management position I had been in for 3 years because I gave what I thought was a simple yearly performance review while I was sick. Turns out the "review" was actually the district manager going around and finding out what people on the management staff didn't actually belong there because they didn't know their jobs. She fired me based on my answers while being pumped full of drugs, drowsy, and very obviously sick. And it wasn't like she didn't know I was sick, considering I had to call out of work for 2 days before the interview, postpone the interview, and go home after the interview because I was still sick.
You absolutely deserve it.
You snooze, you lose.
Teehee, thanks. :] This is when all the little cliche phrases we grew up with come in handy. :]
If you fell asleep before you even knew what the meeting was about, you deserve to get fired. If you rarely fall asleep at work, you just have bad luck; otherwise, people like you are part of the reason an emergency meeting had to be called in the first place, in which case you would truly deserve to be fired.

Look on the bright side: if you're unemployed now, you'll have plenty of time to sleep.
YDI sounds like you get what you deserved.
