For context, I worked for a local manufacturing company. I worked there from Feb 2019-Oct 2021 and then went to a construction company for a few months and went back to them June 2022 til today. So I worked for them for about 3 years. I was terminated today due to “performance and attendance.” My position was where I was one of two dedicated machine operators across three 8 hour shifts. That company is about to go to 4 10 hour shifts with every other Friday, some Saturdays based on demand. My direct supervisor can operate the machine but has stated he can’t work the 10 hour schedule. My productivity was always above 90% and my quality was always on point. Yes, i did miss work due to stuff going on outside of work that couldn’t be helped. But they still decided to fire me anyways. Citing that since I came back in June I’ve missed too much work. So they wanna ramp up production but let go one of their two dedicated operators for the machine I worked at?! WTF.
