I am working in a factory through an agency. The training process is essentially keep upping the pace as quick as possible until you are working at target rate, every time I manage to keep pace they increase it. I'm just clinging on at target pace on day 4, yesterday I got home and received a call saying I've been let go for performance reasons. No warning, no feedback and no opportunity to discuss, gone. I immediately googled the name of the managing director of the entire company, walked a mile back and requested a meeting. I didn't get to speak to him but I did get to sit down with the production manager (suit and tie in the office not floor manager). I now have a second chance and am going back in at 6am, going to be mad awkward with the woman that is the manager on the factory floor who fired me (from afar), but wish me luck. I need work, I need money, I'm trying my hardest on these 9.5 hour shifts busting my ass and just trying to survive
