In one corner of Wolverhampton, seventeen-year-old Andrew Weston finds himself unexpectedly sacked from McDonald's. His story echoes the unpredictability and challenges faced by individuals in their pursuit of livelihoods. Meanwhile, at Petrograd's Hotel Astoria in Russia, we witness an event that symbolizes power dynamics - sacking becomes a tool for political maneuvering as leaders rise and fall. Shifting gears to Erith, Kent, we encounter nineteen-year-old Tina Harris who defiantly tattoos her fingers after facing dismissal. Her act serves as a testament to resilience amidst adversity. The lithographs depicting Shanghai's hellish landscape and China's tragic hours transport us into worlds where sackings are not just about jobs but also encompass societal upheaval and suffering. Venturing further back in time reveals ancient conflicts like the Balkan War or Sidon's destruction by Esar Haddon. These illustrations remind us that sackings have long been intertwined with warfare and conquest throughout history. Even Canterbury has its own tale to tell - burned by Danish invaders in 851 AD. This depiction from Hutchinsons Story of the British Nation illustrates how sackings can shape nations' destinies while leaving scars on their collective memory. Aleksey Kuropatkin emerges as another figure caught up in this web of dismissals; his portrayal as Russian Minister of War highlights how even those in positions of authority are not immune to being sacked when circumstances change abruptly.
