I just got fired for practically no reason, despite working so hard at my job that my wife told me I needed to put in LESS hours

I've worked in a warehouse since April of last year. And have always been top among my peers in terms of performance and attendance.

I worked harder at this job than anywhere else, this is where I told myself I'd build a career up and do well. I came in early and stayed late every day (paid hourly thank god).

I feel so lost now.
