Courage to Stand Up

I came here hoping you guys can give me hope and courage for what I'm about to do (advice is also welcome) I was fired yesterday. Last day of 8 month probation period. They said it was personality conflict and me not improving as much as they liked. On the papers they gave me, it's “rude, lazy, dismissive, sarcastic” along with a bunch of minor things that were exaggerated to extremes. I know I'm not perfect but they could not claim I was this horrible when I had just been praised the past couple weeks. When my history of customer service was stellar w/ promotions and suddenly at this one job I'm a failure? And I get the feeling they were planning this awhile, as if they made up their minds to get rid of me months ago. I may have frozen up during the final meeting but the paperwork…

I was fired yesterday. Last day of 8 month probation period. They said it was personality conflict and me not improving as much as they liked. On the papers they gave me, it's “rude, lazy, dismissive, sarcastic” along with a bunch of minor things that were exaggerated to extremes. I know I'm not perfect but they could not claim I was this horrible when I had just been praised the past couple weeks. When my history of customer service was stellar w/ promotions and suddenly at this one job I'm a failure? And I get the feeling they were planning this awhile, as if they made up their minds to get rid of me months ago.

I may have frozen up during the final meeting but the paperwork I got states a window of time to appeal and bring to light anything I feel was fraudulent. I have a whole notebook of my side of each story along with cases where the bosses & certain colleagues have targeted me.

I'm just scared to send all this to their HR. I mean I don't expect to get rehired (nor would I want to after being humiliated after that meeting). But I want this to come to light so they don't target my replacement. Maybe even put in the notes of a voluntary resignation so I have a chance to apply at a sister branch in the future (the company is good but my site had some toxic issues, according to a buddy in another branch) I don't want them to slander me to future prospective jobs or try to go after me legally. Or what if my side doesn't matter and nothing changes?

I figure if anyone can understand, it's the anti work crew here. Maybe you guys can give me the kick I need to click “submit” and send these files off to HR.
