So yeah, that just happened and I need to rant.
I work(ed) at a place widely regarded on reddit as a company that takes care of their employees. I thought I was working completely fine (in fact, I know I was, every other person I know there thought I was doing good), but I came in today and the manager took me away as I was walking to my work area and took me into an office and fired me effective immediately due to “slow pace”, despite working through all of the busiest periods of work.
I really don't know why he fired me of all people, I started with someone else who makes mistakes all the time and she wasn't fired and there are people who do almost nothing all day who just get left alone. I sat in my car after as I was really upset and about 5 minutes later a bunch of staff walk out as they had the option to go home due to not enough work. Told everyone I got fired and they were all shocked. I hope some of them give the manager a bad time about this as I got along with everyone there. They still use agency staff too!!
This one manager is the only problem at that work place, he hates people working together (he tries to put one person per station when there can be two), he hates people talking to each other and will be constantly looking around and will moan at you if he see's you talking at all.
