Yesterday I got fired from my job doing pizza delivery for one of the big three. No big deal, I have gig work to tide me over until I get a new job, and it was such a horrible environment to work in that I was close to quitting anyway. So whatever, genuinely zero fucks given about being fired. However there was genuinely no reason given, and I can't think of anything I would have done to deserve it.
