I graduated this year in computer science and have been applying for jobs in software engineering. I've been looking for weeks and recently got a week contract at a small family-based company.
Today, after two days, I got fired. They called me and left a voicemail telling me that due to “too many negative reactions” they ended my contract and that I don't have to come back tomorrow. I called them later when I had time and I asked to elaborate and they where very vague about it. Something about there “not being a click”
I have no idea what I did wrong. No one ever communicated anything to me. I never got any feedback on anything. Like yea sure I made some mistakes and some issues took a lot longer to resolve than they should, but you can't expect me to be up to speed with how your company works and how your project is structured in two days?
No one ever talked to me too. The most social interaction I had there was maybe a 3 sentence conversation during lunch yesterday. They mentioned they value good communication but no one ever says anything. All the desks are apart and the teamlead is in an entirely different room. The issues on Jira where very vague too and I often had to ask for clarification on what they meant exactly.
I feel super shitty. I was very excited to finally have my first job and started with much enthusiasm. I feel like I've been exploited. Im trans too and I'd like to think this wasn't just transphobia and that they thought a junior dev would have the knowledge and experience of a senior dev, but honestly I don't even know at thos point.
