I spent the last month prototyping code for a demo that will not be checked in. I have a few small unrelated CLs submitted (minor fixes) but I spent 5 minutes per each, my main work for the month is completely unaccounted for in version control.

Should I be fired?

Yeah your shoddy practices are certainly suspect. Why aren't you using version control to checkpoint your prototype?

For your own sake, you should probably check that demo code in somewhere. Keeping a 'paper' trail of the work you've done is always a good practice to follow.
