(throwaway account) hi antiwork peeps, never thought i would be in a position like this but such is life
last week i was fired from my job… my first job working for a very large company with many (too many) managers
everything seemed normal, i was in training with a group of people. after training, i was on the floor -i was the closest one to sit next to my team manager. it did not take long before i was given rules that my newly hired coworkers weren’t given. this all kinda snowballed from there.. to the point where i was being pulled aside out of no where and told to hit certain margins (but nothing was written down / no methods of achieving these goals were provided) then i was pulled aside again and essentially told that i am slow and that i need to step it up – about two weeks after that, i am being fired for “not being the right fit/performance”
this whole time i was doing as much as i can given the knowledge i had. i was always coming in on time and actively working/being productive and solving things back to back
even as i was being let go, they said it’s not because of a lack of effort?
during my time at work, there were a few instances of micro-aggression towards me from my team manager
he was also the one having me be pulled aside at random
this all lead me to come in unhappy looking, always anxious of the next time i was going to get a talking-to
i was fired due to performance/not being the right fit but i know the true reason is because my team manager did not like me
i have been with the company for 89 days- would i qualify for unemployment?
i’ve never been fired before
